Pit Bulls Kill Man, Woman In Michigan
The Indy Channel ^ | September 14, 2007

DETROIT -- An elderly man and a woman were mauled to death by pit bulls in Iosco Township, Mich., on Thursday afternoon, police said.

Michigan State Police were called to a farm and found a 90-year-old man mauled to death by dogs.

The Iosco Sheriff’s Department said the man’s 70-year-old son went to check on his father, who was visiting the property, and found him dead in the yard.

Police said there were still pit bulls in the yard when the son arrived.

Upon further investigation, MSP found dogs had also fatally mauled a 56-year-old woman who was jogging, just west of the property.

Investigators confiscated 10 pit bulls from a nearby residence.

MSP said there are still some dangerous dogs at large in the area.

The deaths are still under investigation by MSP.

Any breed of dog that has a tendency to turn even on its own owners like pits do, is not safe to have around.

Perhaps you have some evidence that normal, non-neglected, non-abused pits turn on their masters? I mean real evidence, not anecdotal evidence. Please cite cases with background information and/or studies.

You made the statement, now back it up.

I have it on good authority from many of the members of this forum that pitbulls are just big cuddly pets and wouldn't hurt a fly

Name just one of those members big mouth

The reactionary moral zealots don't need to justify their generalizations.
Do you sense the glee that these reports generate in some?
I count at least 9 posts so far comparing dogs to muslims.
That's the type of mentality exhibited on these threads.
Fanatic, emotional, ignorant, knee-jerking zealotry.
Where is the concern for deaths or injuries caused by other breed/types?
Who posted the thread about the 4 month old child killed the day before this incident?
Nobody!
While they posted their inane drivel on the 437 post thread
about a supposedly "sleeping" woman being attack
by two dogs chasing her JRT into the house...
Where was the thread about 16 month old killed two days previous?
Nowhere on FR!

Single issue, nanny-state solution suggesting, pseudo conservatives with no
exhibited concern for promoting personal accountability and responsibility.
All they got is 'ban 'em'. Useless as teats on a bull.

The standard poodle can be just as vicious if in the wrong hands. Standard Poodles are fighting dogs.

It’s odd — I was using someone else’s computer to post the story above and apparently that computer had a child-filter application running that, unbeknown to me, extracted the words “death” and “killed” from ingoing-outgoing messages. So the post came out in that cryptic way. Sorry....

These DOP's are not unlike the ROP. Humans that have been raised over 7 centuries to kill others. Many ROP'ers have been raised to be tolerant of others and friendly to infidels. But, as the DOPs, its the bent of their breed - to slice off the heads of others.

Islam is genetic? That's about the most ridiculous thing I've heard.

Your comprehension of my stance on dogs is feeble
as is your attempt to smear other posters with your lies.
and your spelling sucks too!

Tell you what..for every instance I can find where I state that
all dogs are potentially dangerous... you pledge $5 to FR.

Pessimist: He’s just figuring out how to get his jaws around the photographer’s throat before he commits himself.
Optimist: He’s just a little cutie.
Realist: For many a year, he may be very cute, but he’s susceptible at a split second to maul whomever might be in close proximity. Exercise careful prudence accordingly.

I think cities need to have strict lease laws for every breed and . Start with a $500 fine first offense and increase that to $1000 second offense. If they can’t pay then a mandatory 30 days in jail the first time and 90 days second and no time off. If a dog draws blood on a person or another dog then penalties similar to a DUI...

I appologize for being smarter than you and hope that your lack of common sense is soon healed as well. Have fun with your pitbull and I hope that ends well for you also. Wishing you all the best, Tupac.

I see pit bull defenders have pit bull personalities.

Why don’t the USA round up every single pit bull in the country and let them loose in the region where OBL is supposed to be? No sense in not using this vital resource to do something constructive.

Pit bull defenders remind me of that liberal who hasn’t been mugged yet.

Tell you what. Whenever you find stories about non-pitbulls that turn and attack their owners, abused or not, just post them for all to see, along with their attacks, maulings, and killings of other people.

I asked someone that once before and aside from the police dog story where it bit someone, there’s been a real dearth of stories.

I’ll be watching but NOT holding my breath.

"The problem with destroying Pit Bulls humanely is getting close enough to them to give them the needle: most the ones I’ve seen are far, far too vicious. A shotgun might be a better selection. If there’s more than one, a flamethrower would be wiser.

Animal control agencies regularly use tranquilizer guns to subdue animals. Once subdued they can be painlessly euthanized.

“Tell you what. Whenever you find stories about non-pitbulls that turn and attack their owners, abused or not, just post them for all to see, along with their attacks, maulings, and killings of other people.”

You’ve asked this type of question before...

“I’ll tell you what.... Whenever you find articles about non-pit breeds going berserk like this and doing the kind of damage pits do; post it for all to see.”

And received a reply from someone...
http://www.understand-a-bull.com/BSL/OtherBreedBites/AllDogsBite.htm

And then you proceeded to move the goalposts...

“Nobody ever said other breeds don’t bite or attack. Pits just do a disproportionate amount of it.”

You are not interested in anything that does not coincide with your PBDS.
