CHICAGO (CBS) — A 57-year-old woman is killed after being attacked by a pit bull on Chicago’s far South Side.

It happened near 101st and South Calhoun around noon Saturday.

Police said when officers arrived at the scene, the dog charged at them. Both officers fired their guns killing the dog.

The victim was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. The dog bit her throughout her body, including her neck.

Police are still investigating. It’s unclear where the dog’s owner was.

CBS 2 has confirmed the woman’s name is Karen Brown. Her nickname was “Punchie.” pw South Side Woman Killed By Pit Bull

“Whatever it takes to raise awareness that pitbulls do not belong anywhere near people. They should all be rounded up and shot before anyone else gets maulef.”

Don’t be surprised if the dogs’ owners shoot back.

All dog breeds have examples of attacking and mauling. So, where do you stop? Your blanket death sentence on all members of one breed is frightening.

You are deranged. Your hate is a form of insanity.

Good dogs when controlled so that they don’t exert their powerful ability to maim, disfigure and kill other living things. Sad part is many many owners dont know how to control. Maybe a licensed bonded dog handler license is needed for people who want to have dogs with those capabilities. Like drivers license, resultant liability and car insurance. Or professional malpractice insurance.

***Sorry, you can’t have pit bulls in locus with humans. I wouldn’t hesitate to treat them to some antifreeze soaked biscuits. Same as I would rats or possums. Same deal. They are not pets any more than a person owning a ocelot or a monkey**
Well said.
Pit bull owners are like the weasel that open carries “because its legal” . Just because its legal doesn't make it right. But you can put a gun safely away.. you can't a lethal dog. Pit bulls are not public friendly unless you need a “bad ass” dog to complete your lacking persona.

Adolf Hitler and vegetarianism
Wikipedia
Analysis
[Excerpt:]
If ever a scene showed (even fictional) cruelty to or death of an animal, Hitler would cover his eyes and look away until someone alerted him the scene was over. Alexander Cockburn also wrote of Hitler:
Nazi leaders were noted for love of their pets and for certain animals, notably apex predators like the wolf and the lion. Hitler, a vegetarian and hater of hunting, adored dogs and spent some of his final hours in the company of Blondi, whom he would take for walks outside the bunker at some danger to himself. He had a particular enthusiasm for birds and most of all for wolves. [...] Goebbels said, famously, ‘The only real friend one has in the end is the dog. . . The more I get to know the human species, the more I care for my Benno.’ Goebbels also agreed with Hitler that ‘meat eating is a perversion in our human nature,’ and that Christianity was a ‘symptom of decay’, since it did not urge vegetarianism. [...] On the one hand, monsters of cruelty towards their fellow humans; on the other, kind to animals and zealous in their interest. In their very fine essay on such contradictions, Arnold Arluke and Boria Sax offer three observations. One, as just noted, many Nazi leaders harboured affection towards animals but antipathy to humans. Hitler was given films by a maharaja which displayed animals killing people. The Führer watched with equanimity. Another film showed humans killing animals. Hitler covered his eyes and begged to be told when the slaughter was over.[29]

You have time and time again insisted anyone who wishes to curtail pitbull ownership as a dog hater. You also have continuously propagated the fallacy that its always “the owners” not the dog. We ban fireworks in many places because its not the fireworks that are the problem , its the people who use them, so nobody gets fireworks. I put pit bulls in the same category, Its the owners, not the dog.. oh he!!, what am I saying? BOOMER its people like you with huge egos that need a bad ass dog. psychology has proved those with huge egos are most easily offended because they have problems separating themselves from what someone says about them. I call you a skunk and you cannot help but to try and destroy me because you cannot get the absurd thought out of your head, that I may be right! Boomer you have rocks for brains. Now.. try and get that thought out of your head. And pit bulls are leathal weapons PERIOD. they kill people unprovoked.. they are not inanimate objects, they are self propelled independent thinking animals bred to bite and maim, they kill.

That would curtail these insane calls to let anyone own a pit bull just “because I gots rights” . Would probably curtail a big part of the innocent killing and maiming

Thank you for posting the interesting photographs.

I am uncertain as to the connection to post #99. I must have confused “pray” and “prey”.

I wonder how many of the people in these photographs are alive and unscathed.

I am aware that many bears privately owned have their teeth removed.

If you have an issue that you would like to discuss or focus on, please post it up.

Norski isn’t writing the articles, just posting them here for us to read. There are several Freepers who post up threads on gardening, automotive issues and farming issues.

Yeah puppies are cute aren’t they? So are babies. I’m sure Stephen Paddock and even Osama Bin laden were cute when they were toddlers.

Every person is allowed to own their fear, like or dislike of certain breeds of dog or other animal. The poster posts stories and cites some facts about a certain breed of dog they feel is dangerous that you happen to have a very special affinity for and that’s fine to disagree but show some respect. Their opinion and topics of interest shouldn’t lead to personal attacks. State your opinion and feelings on the matter but no need to get hostile.

State Farm is the only major insurance company that covers the breed, iow, they do not discriminate against Pit Bulls. Last year they had 3 times the dog bite claims of the rest of the industry. Just the facts.
Regardless of why the breed is the way it is, how many good deeds they do or don’t do, the facts are facts. Humans have screwed up this breed. They are defective. This conversation is proof of that. As one who works in this field, it is foolish to ignore what these dogs do. All child sex offenders are put on a list for life, as they should be. Even society knows pedophiles are nearly impossible to rehab. You don’t have to be a dog hater to acknowledge the problem with this breed and to support the curtailment of the breed. It is just being responsible. We are currently training our second Doberman.fustrating as all get out how idiot breeders have screwed up this breed too. I’m not willing to spend 10k on a properly bred Doberman, but the defects in this breed do not cause it to harm people. It is simply being responsible.

I really am beginning to believe you are indeed chet99. This is strange that all your threads appear to be about pit bulls.

This is not the venue for dog-haters on a Jihad. The problem is NOT the dogs.

I have been very constrained in these threads even though I want to be far more “hostile”.
