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 Sheriffs Department said the mans 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.
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.
Name just one of those members big mouth
Why, I thinks I will. Kanawha. There, big mouth.
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....
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.
Brave Sir Robin...LOL
I see pit bull defenders have pit bull personalities.
I see pit bull haters have liberal mentalities.
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.

Here’s a story the nanny staters will run from like scared babies.
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.
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...
“Ill 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...

And then you proceeded to move the goalposts...
“Nobody ever said other breeds dont bite or attack. Pits just do a disproportionate amount of it.”
