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.
Oh, but they are such good dogs.
Islam = “Religion of Peace”
Pit Bulls = “Dogs of Peace”
I saw a bumper sticker the other day, on a big ole red pickemup....had a picture of a pit, with the slogan, “Blame the deed, not the breed”.
Anyone who has 10 pit bulls has raised them to fight and kill.
Yeah, but when was the last time you heard about an incident with a dog attack where it wasn’t a pit bull? I honestly can’t remember.
Fine. I don't blame the breeding of the rednecks, peckerwoods, backwoodsmen, boors, bumpkins, clods, clodhoppers, clowns, corn-fed's, country boys, country cousin's, hayseeds, hicks, hillbillies, jakes, mossbacks, peasants, rubes, rurals, wahoos, yokelands, and "gangstas" who own pit bulls.
I blame them for owning pit bulls.
There are a lot of other kinds of dogs that don’t do such things. Why not have those instead? What is the lure of a dog that kills innocent people?
For the record, I think the breed should be eradicated. It was so stereotypical seeing the sticker on the redneck truck.
The local newspaper had a story this morning about two loose pit bulls killing a Yorky while a guy was taking it a walk.
<< Oh, but they are such good dogs. >>
Yep.
Until they kill someone.
I used to get that load of b.s. all the time from my neighbor who owned pit bulls. She was always telling me what wonderfully gentle dogs they were and how my threat to shoot them if they ever got through the fence and into my yard again was completely unreasonable. Then about a month ago one of her “loving and gentle” dogs, that she’d had for years, decided to try to take her right arm off, and the others joined in.
She’s out of the hospital now, and the dogs are gone. Imagine that.

Time to ban Miniature Poodles
I can’t imagine the horror of these people being ripped apart by dogs. No one jogging down the street or picking weeds in their yard should be subject to this. The natural liberal reaction is to call for bans, restrictions, etc. which I disagree with but the person responsible for this should face life in prison or even the death penalty if he knowingly trained them to kill.
The next question is who let the owner have that many big, violent dogs? I thought everyone had to register dogs at the town hall. Didn’t the Animal Control Officer think “hmm 10 pitbulls, maybe I should check that out”?
Just another news story that reminds me to pack heat more often just in case.
I agree, the breed should be eradicated, but then the gangstas would probably just start converting another breed to violence and fighting. Around here, they passed a law that you can’t own more than one, which is at least something.
I’d be all for that! Poodles are some of the meanest dogs I’ve ever encountered.
We can ban labs too:

but it killed a maltese, which is barely a dog, so maybe it’s ok to keep them.
Its a breed gone bad. Any singular pit can be raised to be gentle and friendly; but its the "bent" of the breed, and its natural inclinations.
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.
ALL dogs should be chained or leashed so that they do not even inconvenience or annoy, let alone attack, people who are not their owners. People are more important than animals.
I thought you said your dog does not bite!
That is not my dog...
