Kressie Warren vows that dogs will no longer be a part of her household.
Kressie Warren clutched a photograph of her dead son.
My sympathies for the family. The dog was perfectly normal etc... Just sad.
Tragic.......... again..... and again..... and again.
Another sad Pit Bull story...
The first time is enough.
The pit bull lovers here will assure everyone that a lovable family pet pit bull would never do that. Says something about credibility.
In this article, the dog's owners don't sound at all like they were responsible dog owners.
Neighbors said that Scott's family had moved in only about four months ago, but that their dogs had already become a nuisance. One neighbor, Rudy Lopez, said he saw a woman beating one of the dogs a few weeks ago with a shovel after it was involved in a fight with another dog.
When a dog starts behaving purely on instinct and doesn’t listen to the master, anything can happen. There are often signs of bad behavior before a dog “snaps” completely.
Even PETA wants to ban the breed.
"I really think that's too severe. People have committed worse crimes and haven't served that much," she (Patricia Hughes, Warren's neighbor) said.
Warren says she's already been given a life sentence.
In this case the parent herself is suffering because it was her dog that killed her child. She reacted immediately to try to stop the dog. This wasn't a matter of irresponsible pet ownership where she let the dog run the neighborhood.
The state law is not too harsh for people whose dogs kill others. They are not going to have to live with the consequences of their dog's actions like this lady is.
That dog should have been put down by now. I hope other owners of pit bulls read about this tragic killing of a precious child, and get rid of their dog.
Ban the breed. Pit Bulls serve very little good purpose. Want a “safe” dog? Get a Yorkie.
Actually this new law brings the punishment in line with any other criminally negligent manslaughter charge in Texas, two to twenty.
Someone please tell me if this is wrong but the way I see it is that Pit Bulls are less likely to bite or attack than other breeds, but when they *do* bite or attack, they are just so powerful and determined that they are more likely to cause major damage or even death, whereas other breeds generally don’t have the power or determination to inflict major damage.
Is that not the gist of it?
Home invasion by pit bulls:

first time ever....again, and again, and again. it’s always the first time
DOG OF PEACE ALERT
He was such a gentle dog, for a while.
There’s something called ‘Springer Spaniel rage’...where the spaniel snaps, goes beserk, and it’s unpredictable. Not as widely known as pit bull attacks. This story is tragic, and bottom line, anyone with children shouldn’t own a pit bull. With a dog like that, as with any potentially dangerous breed, you have to take sensible precautions. Control of the dog at all times.
Don’t these people READ???? Why would ANYONE have a PIT BULL??? IDIOTS...sad, pathetic loser idiots.
