DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Dozens of pit bulls seized in dogfighting investigations have bitten workers at an animal shelter and generally behaved so badly that visitors are warned away from their cages.
Most of the 72 dogs bark furiously at visitors, propelling their muscled bodies against cage bars and grabbing hold of coats of passers-by, said Mark Kumpf, director of the Montgomery County Animal Control Center.
The dogs were confiscated in raids by police, starting in July. The animals have been housed by the county at a cost to taxpayers of about $60,000 as the cases go through the courts.
Several workers at the animal center have been bitten, mostly breaking up fights between the dogs when they are removed from cages for cleaning or exercise, Kumpf said.

Somebody alert the PETA folks so they will adopt them.
In a few minutes the people on here who think beagles have just as dangerous a bite as pit bulls will be on.
Poor dogs. They need Cesar Millan.

Dog bites man. Not News...........
cruel things done to them that probably the only way to go wiil be to euthanize them....
NO probably about it. Kill them now.
Put them down.
Now.
FYI.....
They can't. The dogs are evidence in the trial of the dog fight organizer.
I once saw a gay muslim pitbull with tattoos smoking a cigarette and riding a crotch rocket.
I love Cesar's show
he was an illegal Mexican immigrant
supposedly he paid a fine and got legal - at least that's what his book says
his dog training methods are great
I've tamed an out of control adolescent golden retreiver we got from rescue (original owner had turned him in)
apparently the Humane Society doesn't like Cesar but I think his hard nosed approach is fine
What? This thread has been up for over 20 minutes, and no one has weighed in with "All Pit Bulls should be put down, The breed should be gassed off the face of the earth, pit bull owners should be fined, etc. etc...."
I'll wait....
Teacup poodles are very dangerous. Just today one bit my little finger while I was trimming its toenails. I also had a Yorky growl at me after I gave it a vaccination. Oh, the horror!! Pit bulls are cuddly misunderstood animals and need to be petted and afforded some pity for their plight. Just because pit bulls are violent and fight when put together doesn't make them dangerous or the fact they are responsible for the majority of human killings by dogs doesn't make them all that way. We need diversity and affirmative action for pit bulls. We need to integrate pit bulls into families that are racist toward them so we can promote diversity. Pit bulls need a ACLU and a NAACP like organization to prevent them from breedism and discrimination. Poor mistreated pit bulls. Pit bulls are the way they are because they are descended from dog slavery and therefore not responsible for their actions.
Heyyy!!! Another doggie ping.
Another pit bull story!!!
Yayyyy!
Yeah, they just need a few shushhes and finger snaps to set them straight!
Take court certified pictures first.
A dead body is "evidence" of a crime as well. We usually bury them after the autopsy, not drag them into the courtroom.
