Waiting for the first commenter to say, all these stories identify the dogs as pit bulls, whether they are or not.

‘I stepped out into the driveway just to take a peek, I saw a black dog lying down on the ground, deceased, which is super sad,’ he said.
Super sad about the dog, how do you feel about Brittany?
This was caused by negligence. Gross negligence.
Super sad??? And how about the woman who just had her legs chewed off? That super sad too?
Tis but a scratch. Seriously, pit bulls need to become extinct.
Charge the owner with assault and attempted murder, convict and send them to prison. And every pitbull should be put down, no exception.
Also maiming.
“Waiting for the first commenter to say, all these stories identify the dogs as pit bulls, whether they are or not.”
What kind of a statement is that?
I agree , breed should be exterminated and owners charged
It’s what you hear from the fans of pit bulls. The no bad dogs even pits just bad owners crowd. The ones who don’t admit that attacks where flesh is torn from the body, so that amputation is necessary are characteristic of pits, as are attacks that destroy the face, the ones who believe that German Shepherds and Dobermans bite that way just as often, go “red” just as often.
I had a patient attacked by a GSD that went red, but it didn’t tear the flesh off her. Punctures, deep lacerations. Not holes, torn off limbs, face stripped off.
Southside Fort Dodge is like Southside Chicago— GHETTO. And ghetto people like those ghetto dogs. Many of the small “commuter” towns surrounding Fort Dodge specifically ban pit bulls both to keep the dangerous breeds out but also the type of trashy people that own those dogs.
Honestly, I believe that pit bulls should be classified as “exotic animals”. It should be banned within city limits. If you live in the middle of nowhere, I don’t care if you keep them. But if your kids get harmed by them, then yes, you should be charged for it.
Might be useful as guard dogs in South Africa.
They will use the same tired excuse that it is the owner’s fault, not the dog.
Idiot.
I’m no fan of pit bulls. I would kill every damn one of them.
Might...
Idiot.
*shrug* Likely his dog...
Guess not.
