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

According to a family member, there will be a vigil at the scene of the incident Sunday at 6:00 p.m.

So perhaps a ban is not in order but more guided licensing, permit processes...
I prefer cats myself. 🐈🤗
Today was the only one that I saw that was more than once a day and some says there are none. You are exaggerating, and simply wrong, about the number of threads posted as checking Norski’s posting history can verify, which does not give you any credibility.
And today it was two and NOT about the same incident, so all you contention is for nothing
The fact that you are making it personal with hyperbole and character assassination goes to show that deep down you know you don’t have a leg to stand on in defending the breed.
Perhaps at one time they were an honorable breed, but they have been ruined and therefore cannot be trusted around people, upbringing notwithstanding. Killers will kill. It’s their nature. They cannot be trusted.
You can not like it all you want but you don’t control FR.
If you don’t like the way FR is run, start your own pro-pit bull forum and control the posting there.
Oh, an intellectual. Good for you.
Let me guess, islam is a religion of peace and we are all just wrong about the jihadists.
Author of the new book “Pit Bull: The Battle Over an American Icon,” Bronwen Dickey, told Press Play that she started researching pit bulls a few years ago when she and her husband got one of their own.
She had heard all the horror stories about how dangerous the breed is: how they’ll suddenly turn on you, how their bite is more powerful than any other dog’s… but she found that her own dog, Nola, “was one of the most affectionate dogs we’ve ever had.”
Like many Angelenos, there are a lot of Press Play listeners who love Pit Bulls. Here are a few of your stories about meeting (and falling in love with) your dogs:
Jessi Sanchez: I met Lyxxi (on the left) at 4 days old when I rescued her entire family after they were abandoned. The rest of the family has been adopted, but I was just too connected to let her go. I met Xylaa (on the right) when I searched hundreds of adoptable dogs online. Her face was so unforgettable that I quickly contacted the rescue and went through the process to adopt her

I didn't say that you did and you, being the radical leftist you are, are still using the Alinsky methods.
How very democrat of you. Why are you on FR at all anyway. You should be over on DU with the other DUmmies.
That’s only the deaths.
It doesn’t include all the people who are severely mauled by the animals, people whose lives are changed forever.
There are plenty of pictures of the dog bit victims on the internet, but I doubt they would be allowed to remain up for long on FR, they are so gruesome.

“As they selected for performance, breeders could not know exactly which physical changes they were selecting for. But research now shows that selection for aggressive performance includes consistently selecting for very specific abnormalities in the brain. These abnormalities appear in many breeds of dog as an accident or anomaly, which breeders then attempt to breed out of the dogs. In the case of the aggressive breeds, the opposite occurred. Rather than excluding abnormally aggressive dogs from their breeding stock, breeders focused on creating lineages in which all the dogs would carry the genes causing them to reliably exhibit the desired impulsive aggressive behavior.”
(excerpt)
Unfortunately, as the problem (gameness, or deadly impulsive aggressive behavior) has been bred into the PBT dog deliberately - along with strength and size and jaws and very hard head - I do not believe that it can be “trained” out.
It's critical that all pet owners make sure their animals can't get out and roam the neighborhood. It's equally critical they treat their pets like they should. The problem is NOT the animals; the problem is bad owners.
To a hammer the entire world looks like a nail.
Stop being a hammer; try being the nail.
Put another way; if you are only going to look for the worst in someone - that’s all you will ever see.
It’s obvious your obsession is so ingrained and couple with your phobia about dogs that you won’t ever be cured of your mental illness. You simply won’t even acknowledge you have a serious mental health issue. Until you do you are destined to live this life of hate and fear. I wouldn’t want to be in your shoes for all the dog treats in Walmart.
As one who has worked with Muslims, have family that believe, NOT ONE of them are jihadists nor believe in the concept. In fact all belong to one of the persecuted branches of the religion. I myself don’t believe in the religion but am not ignorant enough to think that all Muslims are ‘pit bull’ killers by nature. Most of the murderers (90+%) I dealt with were raised ‘Christian’ and identified as such.
The problem with this picture is not the dog. The dog is fine. He looks like he’s doing his job as the head security doggy on the property. No; the problem is those heavy locks and chains around his neck. They shouldn’t be there. If a person doesn’t have a decent fenced in yard for their dogs then they shouldn’t have them.
Looks like a good dog otherwise.
So ALL Muslims are ISIS, it’s their nature to kill like the ‘pit bull’??? How many Mulims do YOU actually know, have actually interacted with on a personal level?
You’re drunk. It’s the only explanation for your incoherent ramblings.
In some twisted philosophical logic it might be a valid point, but to insinuate that T Martin is representative of the future of 5th grade black kids IS one of ignorance. The posting of pictures of black kids to temper the hysteria of racial stereo-typing from the actions of a black thug is NOT to provoke thug sympathy, but to hopefully prevent that stereo-typing of the innocent. You may have your feelings about ‘pit bulls’ but to compare their supposed killer nature to black kids is one of ignorance. The original statement wasn’t regarding solely pictures of a young Martin but of young blacks in general.
