Three people injured after dog attack in Oklahoma City

Three people were hurt at a metro neighborhood after an apparent pit bull attack.
Just before 9 a.m. Thursday, police responded to a home on the 400 block of Pumpkin Circle. A woman was trying to save her cat from two pit bulls, when police say the dogs turned on her.
The woman’s neighbor, Kelly Babbit, said she saw what was happening outside and didn’t think twice to run out and help.
“One of them was little, and I thought I could take them, and I got to there and the dog looked at me and the little one took a running leap and locked onto my face and I went down and when I went down, the big one came and locked on my head,” recalled Babbit.
Her son, Nick Merrell, heard his mother screaming and said he went into what he described as “defense mode.”
“I pushed one off to the side, but the other one came up and bit me on my leg,” Merrell said. “He bit me on my other leg, but didn’t get me as good.”
As soon as they ran inside their home, they called the police.
But we all have to accept pit bulls living in our neighborhoods because they are lovable mauling and chewing machines that are well-behaved until they go IED. Kind of like muzzies.

—What I have found in my latest search, is information that these dogs have been bred for brain abnormalities.
“. . .abnormal disinhibited behavior is not functional, and it is unpredictable. Although high arousal and sudden attack can be functional in certain environments, this behavior is pathological in a safer environment, where a high level of arousal and aggressiveness are not necessary and only lead to unnecessary attacks and injuries. Research implicates the frontal cortex, subcortical structures, and lowered activity of the serotonergic system in impulsive aggression in both dogs and humans. Impulsive aggressive behavior in dogs seems to have a different biological basis than appropriate aggressive behavior.
Kathelijne Peremans, DVM discovered this by studying two different populations of impulsively aggressive dogs. Each dog had executed one or more attacks without the classical preceding warnings, and the severity of the attacks was out of all proportion to environmental stimuli. Peremans found a significant difference in the frontal and temporal cortices of these dogs, but not in the subcortical areas, compared to normal dogs. Peremans also found significant dysfunctions of the serotonergic systems among these dogs.
