Owners of those monsters should be charged with negligent homicide at the very least.............
Not funny, but interesting. With so many of the shoplifting videos people say things like, “those darned Amish are at it again”.
Everybody knows what they mean.
So let me say this, “Those darned chihuahuas are at it again!”
“Mixed breed”=pitbull
Beautiful boy. One of the most horrific deaths imaginable, being mauled by animals. Rest in peace little one.
First time I ever saw pit bulls was in Florida in 1978. Nasty things that the white trash kept chained up outside to guard their drug stash, stolen goods, and property. Today in Memphis, it’s hard to find a dog that isn’t a pit bull or pit bull mix. When I walk my dog, I am equipped for encounters with viscious strays on the loose. My neighbor had to spend $3500 saving his dogs life after getting attacked. The dog was never the same.
This is so horrible. This happened in the county next to me. The boy was bike riding and the dogs were out loose (as apparently is the norm for them). He wanted to pet them, and they attacked him. His mother ran out and tried to shield him by lying on him, but it was too late.
These are pit bulls- their owner let’s them roam the neighborhood and apparently this isn’t the first time there have been issues with these dogs and owner.
lolol!
Horrible, just horrible! I can’t understand why people own dogs that can kill them.
How horrifying. I can’t imagine the terror & pain that child went through.
All good boys😊
I’m still waiting to hear about a fatal dog attack by a pack of rabid and feral chihuahuas.
Oh...just wait for some to come out and say “they are the sweetest dogs in the world...I have three and they wouldn’t hurt a fly.” Or somesuch. It always happens. They will also say, its not the dog, its the owner or some similar stupidity. There was an incident a few weeks ago where the pit bulls mauled and killed their owner. They loved him so much they tried to eat him.
These dogs should be banned. There have been so many cases where they just “snap” and kill someone.
A fellow I worked with for years was nearly killed a couple of years ago by a pack of pit bulls. He was out jogging on a public roadway. The dogs were on an acreage he ran past. Three or four of them came out and attacked him. His injuries were horrific, but by the Grace of God he survived. They tore all the skin off his head, except for his face. But from forehead back to his neck was gone. Just bone. I saw him a few weeks ago and he is horribly scarred.
All the chihuahuas I’ve ever met were mean, snappy dogs😒 At least they’re small, though.
In before the Pitbull fanboys and girls.
They can be counted to appear. Sometime they may be a little late, but they show. I just thank the Good Lord that it wasn’t my child.
Prosecute and sue the owners for negligent homicide.
As we get ever closer to the end times, it seems that we are seeing more and more reports of this kind of thing happening. Is it the same “more and more” of earthquakes and other natural disasters, odd or increasing severe weather happening, and even mankind himself waxing worse and worse? There were a hell of a lot more stray dogs running around neighborhoods 30 years ago than you see today, and you did not read about them attacking anyone.
A pit bull showed up in my yard one day. I told the owner if it ever showed up in my yard again, I would kill it humanely. I have not seen the dog since.
I really wish certain dogs would be outlawed in this country as well as owners held criminally and civilly responsible for any problems caused by their dogs.
