Grandma’s Pit Bull Mauls Toddler: Child Second Kid Victim of ‘Vicious’ Dog
My News La ^ | August 5, 2018 | Contributing Editor

Posted on 08/09/2018 11:53:52 AM PDT by Norski

An 18-month-old girl suffered serious wounds to her face when she was mauled by her grandmother’s pit bull — the second time the same dog attacked a child, officials said Sunday.

The toddler was hospitalized, and may have also suffered an injury to one of her eyes in the attack.

The dog had attacked a child two years ago, and was released under strict conditions to its owner, the grandmother. This time, she ordered the dog killed.

The attack was at 7:40 p.m. Friday at a Riverside home on Fern Avenue in the Casa Blanca neighborhood, said Riverside County Department of Animal Services spokesman John Welsh.

The 11-year-old pit bull, Patron, had previously bitten and seriously injured another of the owner’s grandchildren in March of 2016, and the department had sought an order to put the dog down then but was denied in an administrative hearing, Welsh said.

However, the dog was declared vicious by the county, meaning that the owner had to follow certain control measure, such as keeping the dog in a secure enclosure.

“This owner should have reasonably known this dog posed a danger to a small child,” said Animal Services Director Robert Miller in a statement. “After a dog is deemed vicious, it is absolutely reckless if the owner does not take the mandated steps to protect family members — and the general public.”

The owner surrendered the dog to animal services for euthanasia, said Welsh. Whether charges would be filed against the owner would be decided later. Grandma’s Pit Bull Mauls Toddler: Child Second Kid Victim of ‘Vicious’ Dog was last modified: August 6th, 2018 by Contributing Editor

Voters in Springfield, MO overwhelmingly reject ban on pit bulls

“Shall the City of Springfield establish a future ban upon the possession of new pit bull dogs within the City limits by prohibiting acceptance of any new pit bull registrations and only allowing renewals of existing current pit bull dog registrations?”

Against: 21,142 votes (68%)
For: 9,772 votes (32%)

Seems not a whole lot of people share your hysteria about pit bulls.

Lets get one thing straight right away. There will come howls and accusations of Norski and others who support the strict control of dangerous breeds of dogs. You will be called many things. keep this in mind while reading these derogatory remarks. NEVER ARGUE WITH A STUPID PERSON, THEY WILL DRAG YOU DOWN TO THEIR LEVEL AND BEAT YOU WITH EXPERIENCE.. M. Twain. I admit I have fallen to the stupid level with these people and I apologize.

Death to those who deny pitbull peace.

The world does not belong to those who despise pit bulls.
Add more muslim crap and a sarc tag here.

Along with the judge that let them keep the dog knowing it had attacked a child.

The irony of the juxtaposition of graphics and verbiage is quite evident.

I doubt, however, that either the creator or the purchaser of the hippo costume is aware of how deadly an animal it is.

Labradors do the same murderous bad-dog behavior as pit-bulls, but they’re given a pass by the Fake News media.

I’ve read that on FR threads many times.

Not my labrador Henry, however. He’s one of the good ones.

Pit bulls are not controllable; fire arms are. License or confiscate ALL Pit bulls.

One might look at the statistics.

Attacks doing bodily harm from 1982-2016:

Labradors : 68
Pit Bull: 4,693

(Note: Labradors are listed as 1% of the dog population, and pit bulls as 4.9% overall. In order to ajust for percentage of the population, one would multiply the Labrador number by approximately 5 (4.9) to reach adjusted attack rates. So:
68x 5=340 Labrador attacks for an equivalent attack rate.)

The daily hate group session for losers strikes again.

How do you like your dog cooked Norski? Grilled? Fried? Deep Fried? Between bread? In a tortilla? What kind of seasoning do you use on your cooked dog meat? Fluffy pepper? Buddy salt?

I hope it makes you sick enough to never be able to move another muscle. A vegetative state completely aware of your surroundings but never able to move on your own again.

Why you might ask? So you don’t post these ugly insidious dog-hating threads again; that’s why.

A person must be ugly through and through to do this on a daily basis like you do. No heart. No class. No brain. No soul. Just a dog eating lump of teeth and gums. Nothing but darkness all the way through. It’s the only possible explanation. Hate drives you, has driven you, insane. At least I know where you’re going for eternity when your time comes and it isn’t upstairs. I get pleasure in knowing that. Say hi to Satan for the other leftists sure to meet you there.

The dog-hating Norski and his gang of dog-hating zealots strike again. I can’t go one day on my favorite Trump-loving site without seeing your dog-hating spew. Get a life and get off Freerepublic.
