Pitbull Kills Arlington Newborn Boy By Tiffany Griffith @ October 25, 2010 7:13 PM Permalink | Comments (0)

An Arlington Family is planning a funeral for their newborn baby after a pitbull attack.

Our news partner Channel 4 reporting the child was bitten by the dog around 10pm last night off of Dixon Road and University Boulevard. Despite being rushed to Shands Hospital, the baby boy did not survive.

Neighbors report seeing the pitbull running wild, but no one's sure who owns the dog.

Delayed abortion!
Why else would anyone keep one of those worthless pos dogs around, especially around a child?!

And you can save your BS praise for what wonderful pets they are. For my money they’re nothing but shit machines. You put dog food in one end and you get the product out the other end! End of story!

How did a newborn get exposed to this dog at ten at night?

If I EVER see one of those running wild you can rest assured I’ll shoot it dead and ask questions later.

We have had, twice, the past six months pit bulls running loose in our neighborhood. Scared the crap out of me. We called the dog pound, but they said that unless the dog was causing trouble, they would not come out and get it.

I’m too afraid to even go on walks now.

They are owned by the lowest of low life thugs.
A Pitbull is a status symbol, especially for black thugs
in the US.
Owners of Pittbulls are lucky if they have two brain cells
to rub together.

question: If this was a stray dog, how did he get to a newborn baby, and at 10:00 PM? This begs the question of: where were the parents and what were they doing? How did the dog get in the house? Or, what were they doing outside with a newborn baby at 10:00? I can think of a lot of others...Something doesn’t seem right here.

“Something doesn’t seem right here...”

My thoughts exactly. Was this child out at 10:00 p.m.? or are the parent(s) trying to cover something up that happened inside their home by their own dog? Something isn’t right. Prayers for the little angel who died so savagely.

The problem is that they are bread to be very hard to kill. Their skulls are incredible. I hit one on top of the head with a walking stick/club multiple times with ALL of my strength and it didn’t even phase that dog. If it had it’s mouth on a baby instead of a little poodle, I’d still be having nightmares.

Since 2008, more husky-type dogs have killed newborns than pit bulls, and other breeds that have also done this in the past two years include a jack russel terrier, a german shepherd, and even a labrador retriever.

This is, and always has been, an owner issue. Take the dogs away from newborn babies, or heavily supervise any interaction, and 12 babies would still be alive today. Oh, but God forbid the parents or owners of the dogs have to actually be held accountable for their idiocy. Blame the dogs!
