Pit bulls make headlines when they attack humans because the injuries they inflict are typically severe and sometimes fatal.
Two pit bulls attacked a 76-year-old woman in Gulfport on Wednesday when she opened the fence and went into owner Emily Craft's yard. The woman, who many in the neighborhood describe as "the can lady," died from her wounds.
That wasn't the first time one authorities were called about Craft's dogs.
Craft was arrested Wednesday morning after the mauling on an outstanding warrant on charges of having a dog at large and having a vicious animal after an incident last summer where her dogs got into a neighbor's yard.
This incident, as well as a Nov. 2016 pit bull attack involving a teenager in Biloxi and the death of a Neshoba County woman in September, has again raised the debate on the Mississippi Gulf Coast about the breed considered aggressive by many.
Jaxon Ronsonet, 15, saved his 5-year-old brother's life when a neighbor's pit bull attacked the young boy. Jaxon picked up his brother and set him on top a trash can, sacrificing himself to the dog's jaws. The teen had his leg amputated soon after the attack.

You do not understand that I made a conditional statement.
Your actions will determine my view of you.
Put that entire phrase in Google, there are several “images”.

That’s funny...My Amstaff’s sire was from Russia.
I was gracious in my last message to him but he belongs right where he is, in the FR dustbin.
I wouldn’t have a dog where I would have to wear a sidearm at all times...just in case.
Turn-spit dogs were horribly abused. Hot coals were put at the bottom of the wheel to make the dogs keep moving.
“Why do pit bulls attack? The answer is complicated.”
Who cares? Put them all down.”
It’s simple. I’m a pug fellow. Pit bulls or anything else that threatens my lads I will just kill.
Momma says it’s because of their medula oblongata. WB
“Two pit bulls attacked a 76-year-old woman in Gulfport”
Seems like there are a lot of 70 something women who didn’t get the email about the invention of firearms.
“I hope there is a special circle in Hell for dog fighters.”
Oh yeah. That’s why I don’t get into the business of rooting them out. Death on sight. I want to stay free.
Thank you for posting.
huh... you shoot dogfighters on sight?
Good way to end up in prison and unfree.
You besmirch the Dog of Peace® at your own risk. :P
So I do. So do we all. And the vitriol is so virulent that I believe it to be spiritually influenced and demonically driven.
I remember asking someone on here awhile back if Dog of Peace was trademarked. Do you know?
That pit your neighbor had was likely not a pit but a Presa Canario - nearly identical in form but MUCH larger.
If he wants a war then by god he’ll get one! lol
