HAWTHORNE, Fla. -- A 74-year-old man attacked by pit bulls Friday morning had his right arm amputated, his left arm partially amputated and suffered severe facial injuries, Putnam County deputies said. Deputies were called to the 200 block of Old Hawthorne Road in Hawthorne about 11 a.m. and found Roy McSweeney severely injured. McSweeney was taken to Shands Hospital in Gainesville and was in surgery Friday afternoon. His condition was not available. Investigators said the two dogs responsible for the attack belonged to McSweeney's neighbor.

They said the owner of the dogs gave both of them to authorities, and the pit bulls were euthanized and taken to the Putnam County Health Department to be tested for rabies.

Deputies said no further details could be released. .

Well, there was one, but since it’s the same guy.....

I guess it still counts as one.

Seems like as good an excuse as any to repost my favorite savage pitbull attack video...

OMG...no...not THAT!

I simply can’t bear watching that carnage, again.

Watch this bloody massacre, instead.

I see what you mean. These deadly animals should be destroyed. A full eradication is the only way to save us from these killers.

These dogs must all be euthanized.

Government agents, knocking on the doors of law-abiding citizens, forcing them to give up their dogs to be euthanized? That doesn't sound too conservative to me. Let me guess? I'm from the government and I'm here to help. It's for the children.

Assault rifles, assault dogs...what’s in a name?

Kneel before ZOD, Citizen!

Maybe the big fear is that when the Feds come to bust down your door and take your guns, some of those ‘killer dogs” might greet them on the lawn.

Can’t have your home being defended against such things, now can we?

Get a little kitty cat or a hamster.

It’s still something to pet and no threat to the gubmint.

No, more akin to people with common sense deciding
that people should not be able to keep lions in their
yards because the danger to the public cancels the
right of anyone to keep a dangerous predator as a pet.

Unpredictable predatory animals do not make good pets.
It’s just that simple. Be they lions or pit bull canines.

They’re actually pretty snappy.

The feds would hate that.

Nice non sequitur.

Domesticated dog breeds = wild lions.

Got it.
