Pet pit bulls maul NLV 4-month-old to death

I didn’t see that article. Do you have a link?

This article states, in the first paragraph, that the dogs belonged to the baby’s family.

I say DEATH to all Pit Bulls!

[Bubbette]

The first sentence of the article says it was her “family’s pit bulls.” They had been seen loose running in the neighborhood.

I had to kill a marauding Pit Bull. It was a vicious beast, running with a pack of other dogs. It is not in my nature to kill anything, but I am proud of what I did. I was certain that this beast would someday harm someone....so I borrowed a 45 automatic pistol from a friend and I put an end to this loathsome creature.

Not only did they have two dogs (remember two can always get the “pack” mentality) running loose in the neighborhood, but it sounds like they were neve allowed in the house.

My guess is they were totally unsocialized. They probably viewed the child as a prey animal they’d been trying to get for a long time.

I watched Cesar Milan one day, and he didn’t let aggressive dogs play with squeaky toys. He said dogs mentally compare the squeaky sound with a dying prey animal. That’s why they get so excited.

"You did read the article where it pointed out that these dogs were running around loose in the neighborhood, and were not owned by the parents of the baby?"

From the article posted above:
"A 4-month-old girl was fatally mauled by her family's two pit bulls..."

This breed is too much of a “loose cannon”(if that fits),,,

Some will attack,,,some won’t,,,

Folks next door have Five chained-up,,,

I have a springer and a yorkie,,,and a Colt,,,
(not a hoss),,,

Have to “walk” them All in the back-yard...:0(...Grrrrr...

"I had to kill a marauding Pit Bull."

I did, too, a few years ago (one round). ...also knew a cop who put a whole magazine of 9mm rounds in another one, before it stopped. It can be hard to hit them right, when they're running.

I also agree that it's wrong to breed pit bulls. They are liability dogs.

[LongElegantLegs]

They're not all bad.

[Bobalu]

It’s a horrible thing to have to do.
I borrowed a 45 auto pistol from a friend, he taught me how to use it.
It had I think 11 shells, one was a bullet, the next like a shotgun shell. I fired every one till the pistol was empty. It was a horrible thing to see. The animal literal came apart. I had no idea how powerful a pistol could be. I have actually caught mice and driven to a distant spot to let them loose rather than kill them. But I had NO choice with this mad animal. I just knew it would someday attack a child. So it fell to me to do what had to be done. I hold the person who let this animal loose on the world responsible... damn them for forcing me to do this awful thing. :-(

Them pits are nice dogs unless some owner makes them rotten. That is just the fact.

If I hear that one more time, I think I will scream.

Your clever and incisive point must be hidden behind the red X...

From Your Page! :

“Of course, all dogs do this. A retriever can fulfill himself playing fetch, a herding dog can chase cars...But there is nothing a pit bull can do by itself to approximate a bloody fight to the death, that’s not going to result in tragedy.

The way to give a pit bull an outlet is to get him into weight pulling. It fulfills his need for battle. It’s not hard to get into, and you don’t have to compete, you just have to invest in some equipment and a few hours every night. Are alot of people willing to do this? No. They treat the dog like a chihuahua or a lab and then are shocked when he tears apart the neighbors cat, or dog, or child.

Too many pit bull apologists spend all their energy defending the breed as gentle, loveable little fuzzballs without acknowledging that this is NOT a backyard breed, not a dog for the sedentary, or irresponsible, and not a dog to be taken lightly.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If “YOUR” Dawg Or Any Other Comes In !MY! Yard,,,

I WILL Shoot It DEAD,Full Of Holes!!! > . <

Maybe I Should Buy A Friggin’ TIGER!!!

Maybe A BEAR!!!

My COLT Costs Less To FEED!!!...

[LongElegantLegs]

Ah, a sleeping tiger.
No, the tiger’s an undomesticated animal. Pit bulls, while dangerous, can be kept safely in a home environment. They have a long history as loving pets.

The problem lies with the owners and their apparent incomprehension of the breed’s potential for violence, and their failure to take proper care of them.

[LongElegantLegs]

I’m going to assume you’re shouting because you’re just so surprised to see a pit bull advocate speak the truth about the breed.

If my dog ever wandered into your yard, and you shot him, it would have been my fault for not having control of him. I may not buy you a drink afterwards, but I’d understand your actions. I don’t like to see pit bulls running free, myself. But don’t try to take him away from me using the government as your big brother. It’s cowardly and misguided.

“Man, that neighborhood SOUNDS bad. I wouldn’t go there.”

Actully, if this neighborhood is north of Cheyenne Avenue —which I think it is — its probably pretty nice. In this part of the city, Cheyenne Ave. is pretty much the boundary line between the (very) bad parts of North Las Vegas and the newer, nicer areas that have sprung up in the last fifteen years or so.
