"Hernandez said the dogs lived at a house behind his, and he had an argument last week with the neighbor about them."

An argument?

And waddyaknow? Within a couple days the pit bulls mysteriously just happen to get loose and his daughter is torn asunder?

Nothing suspicious here...

Usual. Untrained, flimsy fence, irresponsible owner. I’ve seen these type dogs drag their oweners who are walking them. If you can’t control your Dog, Keep it in a very Secure PEN. Those 2 dogs tore up our 2, 12 lb small senior dogs, big Vet bill.

The incident follows the December 2015 death of Xavier Strickland, a 4-year-old Detroit boy who was attacked with his mother by four pit bulls. Police had to shoot them to free the boy’s body.

the problem is the type of person attracted to owning pits. this is a very unforgiving breed 20% more muscle mass the dogs of smiler size. I love to say that dogs mirror there owners emotionally you get someone who is inexperienced or to lazy to work on training and bad shit happens. dogs don't just one day get loose and attack I am sure that there were warning signs that this was a possibility. I also bet that at least one of the dogs was non neutered male and that the dogs were encouraged at some point to be antisocial because they were to be the persons guard dogs . this is a lot of assumptions on my part but theses are the assumptions I make when ever we get the fatal dog mauling story that is all to common.

My mistake for not putting the “...” on “assault weapon!”
I don’t need to define it for you.
You don’t understand the comparison? Sorry.

A neighbor told me that she was worried her dog, Rottweiler, might get loose and hurt someone. I assured her that in our neighborhood her dog would be shot long before it had a chance to hurt someone. I told her I was ready to shoot it the instant it was anywhere near me or a family member. She put up a 6’ solid core fence the next week.

Funny thing, the dog is happy go lucky leg hound. She thought she was buying a “badass” dog.

Our Yorkie is calm and friendly.

When three baby rabbits tried to hide by the fence he killed all three in 10 seconds.

He smelled them, bit them, threw them to the ground, looked at me and one moved and he bit again.

Great rodent killer.

“Pit bull owners tend to be poorr.”

Well, we’re pit bull owners, and we’re hardly poor. In fact, pretty much every pit bull owner we know is financially comfortable. But, then, we adopt from rescues, as do the other pit owners we know. And, yes; we go through a very detailed screening. Our dog was a rescue from the south side of Chicago, and he is a sweetheart: Don’t blame the breed. Any animal — including humans — can turn bad if they’ve been abused, neglected, or shit upon.

“I conceal carry just in case I run into a pit bull. Have a Taurus Judge with two shotshells for spray then go in for the kill shot. I despise them and their owners.”

Whenever you speak, something is subtracted from the sum total of human knowledge.

Many, not all, Freepers go by generalizations and appear with pitch forks and flaming torches when they have an example of something that reinforces their prejudice.

I agree. Many, not all, Freepers go by generalizations. They appear with pitchforks and torches alit when something reinforces their prejudice.

Dreadful. May this poor child rest in peace and may her family be comforted. Dogs are dangerous. People in my family laugh at me because I’m scared of dogs, but I’m right and they are foolish.

Never really understood all those jokes about mail carriers and dogs until I did some door to door political stuff. Man the dogs are intimidating. I had one that barked at me from the moment I crossed onto his block until the moment I crossed off it. And that dog could easily have jumped the fence in his yard. He didn’t but he could have. (Or her, whichever.)

Live and learn.

I have shared my son’s pitbull encounter before. He was 6 years old when he was flat out attacked by one. The dog had to be shot by a state trooper. Son was pulled to safety by his mom and sister before trooper arrived. Just lost an ear and got some other stitches. Owners couldn’t understand how their baby could do such a thing. Very thankful that we didn’t lose him.

Odly enough, 25 years later, his dad (me) got nipped in the butt by one that was promised to be absolutely harmless. Don’t ever believe the harmless claims.

They should stop breeding pit bulls.

How often do you hear about Basset Hounds mauling someone to death?

Funny when his daughter had their first grandchild she told him if the pit bulls were still there grandpa and grandma would never see the grandchild. She knew the dangers.

Something prevailed upon my brother and his wife to get a huge monster of a pit-bull-type dog with an ugly disposition. My brother recently had to go into the hospital for major surgery, and he had the audacity to ask if I'd take the dog into my own house while he was away. I'd have done just about anything else for my brother, but not that. The first thing that dog would have done is kill my Sheltie, who hasn't got a violent bone in his body. And of course there's no way I could have assumed the liability if the dog got out and hurt an innocent person. Not to mention that the animal is ungodly strong and could easily have hurt me or my wife.

I have a Pit Bull, he is one of my 6 dogs.
The only way Billy would ever kill you is if he drowned you in slobber while licking you.
All depends on how your dogs are raised and trained.

Of course I don’t allow any of my dogs to act out aggressively, the only bad ass in this family is their Daddy (me).

1: Sophie = Black Lab x German Shepherd mix.
2: George = Pure Bred Rottweiler.
3: Billy = Pure Bred Pit Bull.
4: Rosey = Pure Bred Australian Sheep Dog.
5: Heidi = Pure Bred German Shepherd.
6: Clifford = Pure Bred Turkish Kangal.

All of my dogs are pure sweethearts who love to be pet (even by strangers as long as I am present), love to have their bellies rubbed, and be told what good boys and girls they are.
They will also protect their family against any REAL THREAT, human or otherwise.

Pretend the head is a bowling ball and the eyes are finger holes. Insert fingers. Quickly, firmly, with all your strength.

Knee on shoulder. Pull both front legs outwards to dislocate.

Toss it some poisoned meat.
