"Spike"
Dogs are like guns. You got yer shotguns, your machine guns and your 22 shorts, and everything in between. Pit bulls are the dog equivalent of the aa-12 fully automatic shotgun. You really don’t want one of these babies pointed at you.
“King agrees. “This is vicious,” she says, “and that dog needs to be put to sleep.”
If the owners refuse to put the dog down, then say, “fine, we will just sue you into oblivion”
>>If Shelby County Health officials consider the dog not to be vicious, it will be returned to its’ owner. <<
That sounds reasonable. After all, a simple mauling of an 8 year old is not really enough evidence to determine whether or not the dog is vicious.

The easiest solution, of course, is to sue the owner of the dog for every dime he/she will make the rest of his/her life, plus $20 for attorney fees. Then the dog will simply starve to death because the owner cannot afford to feed it.

And those are just the stories reported.
Sure, pit bulls are "just like guns". Guns that leave their holsters by themselves and start shooting at people randomly.
Euthanize these monsters.
I will never understand being so scared of a breed of dog... I mean, really... is it because doggie has big teeth?
“Before Lassie, another dog, Petey, starred on the children’s series, “Lil Rascals”, and brought popularity to his breed. Petey was a purebred, UKC registered American Pit Bull Terrier, a breed well favored for their intelligence, courage, and gentleness with children. In Britain, they were known as the “nanny dog” because they could be trusted to be gentle with, as well as protective of, children. In fact, Theodore Roosevelt had a pit bull in the White House and Cooledge had two.
Except for a few victimized bulldogs who, in recent years, fell into the hands of an irresponsible, unsavory crowd seeking a macho image, these valuable dogs are proving their true nature in many ways.
Weela, the Ken-L-Ration Dog Hero of 1993, was a pit bull who saved the lives of 30 people, 29 dogs, 13 horses, and a cat when the Tijuana River Dam in California broke during a flood. She led the people to safety, finding the safest crossings through the floodwaters, and later braved a raging river while towing food to stranded animals.
It was a pit bull terrier, named Sebastian, who responded when a Rottweiler attacked a 6 year old child. He, unhesitatingly, attacked the Rottweiler and kept the dog away from the child until his owner, an off duty police officer, arrived. Ironically, this incident resulted in a “dangerous breed ban.”

Surely the article is mistaken...this must have been a Golden Retriever as I have never seen a previous post about a pitbull killing/mauling a child....this would be an unprecedented occurence. LMAO at the stupidity.
I have been told, repeatedly, that attacks like this are rare.
Time for LOVE MY PITBULL Movie from youtube because they are great dogs.
