1. This is something that is happening far to often. That is one of the pro pit bull peoples complaint these stories are posted far to offend, yet the wouldn't be if it wasn't happening far to often.
2. Freeper Norski takes a lot of heat for posting these news stories for no reason other than there are more than a few Pit loves that like to deny that such attacks are occurring with increased frequency. These same people have lots of pity for the dogs involve, but little or none to the victims. This woman suffered a death I wouldn't wish on them and all they can do is post pictures of pit bull dress as sunflowers, talk about putting lipstick on a pig!
3. No I didn't have to search for this story its right up of Drudge for all to see.
The North Koreans eat them first.
Vic was a 66 YO lady.
She didn’t stand a chance.
Norski posted this one yesterday.
Recent dog attacks have led to hundreds of stitches for victims
Pits in every case.
Are these the people who say your pet cat wants to eat you? Lol
I’m a dog lover and under no circumstance will I allow a pit bull in the same room as my Jack Russell,my dogs best friend is a Rotweiller.
Chet 99, whereever you are; you were right, sweetie.
Pits make poor pets. I know, because I own one. You can’t let them run loose. They have to be contained in a space. Which, is one reason (of many) they make poor pets because they need a lot of space. Unfortunately, many people just let them run loose.
I’ve trained dogs for years, and I have experience physically dealing with attacking dogs. Our dog is a runt at 60 lbs. I’m 6’1” and 250 lbs and it’s all I can do to buffalo him to the ground without getting bit (much). I can’t imagine having to physically control him if he was any bigger. Most of your average pit bulls weigh between 80-100 lbs.
Many of these cases are irresponsible owners who don’t take proper care of them, ignore signs that they are aggressive, allow they to get lose and roam without concern, etc. Yes, there are cases where sometimes someone’s pit bull snaps, but I have read cases where German Shepherds, Mastiffs, etc. have done so and killed people. It’s hard with pit bulls as they are really a hybrid mix of a variety of breeds often and there are more of them out there than a lot of other breeds. Most shelters are filled with them.
thank you for your honest and sane post. too many of these pitt attack threads get people foaming at the mouth.
Quit using Pork Chop Perfume.
Charge the owner with manslaughter
There are many millions of pit/mixes; the ones that bite are rabidly post on FR for haters to beat on as a pinata.
Get a life, get over it.
There is an amazing diversity of dog breeds. Each has it’s unique combination of physical build and temperament, and was suited to a particular task. Trying to deny a pitbulls characteristics and pretend it is a gentle domestic pet will obviously result in a high number of spontaneous attacks.
There are 5-20 million pitbulls in America maybe more
Who knows
In its generic form it’s the most common breed
Surge in popularity amongst thugs and wiggers....
15-30 deaths a year from 5-20 million pits
Rottweilers are second in fatalities and are some reckon more proportionally prone to kill
There are far fewer Rotts these days unlike the mid 70s after the Omen films when their numbers exploded
Chihuahuas nite most
Goldens more than Pits
Be glad there aren’t 20 million Kangols or Dogos owned by trash at such high rates
And that Chihuahuas are not 100 pounds
Norski takes heat?
Please that’s ridiculous
He and Chet or if they are the same live in an echo chamber here of at least 90%
Pit bull threads daily even if about old stories
Yet never about other dog bites or mailings resulting in death
I see so much histrionics
Kill all pit bulls
I’d shoot them on site ..
With my 9.....whooo so scary...a 9
Kill all pitbull owners
Make all pit bull owners have one million in liability....why stop there
Give pit bull owners the death penalty
This is the reasonableness of pit bull obsessed folks here
Chet did this for a decade I think till he screwed up over gay marriage or some thing

Day of Chet bolt ride
Has come back a few times...

I know there are fans of pit bulls here but how come you never see these kind of stories involving golden retrievers or collies?
I have always heard that a pit bull is the same as an American Staffordshire Terrier, but they are NOT. The pits that have gone ape, are America Pit Bulls, a bigger, more aggressive breed. I never could reconcile the American Staffordshire, Dr. James Herriot’s favorite breed, and the pit bulls of the killer American dog breed. American Staffordshire’s are also called pits bulls, but they are a separate breed. Am Staffs, as they are called, are shorter, and have a stockier build. We saw 2 at a rest stop yesterday. They look a lot like an English bulldog, without the underlying jaw. One of them wasn’t even on leash.
Thank you for posting this. I was not planning to post yesterday at all. A death changes plans . . . this one is not even an article, just a brief Sheriff’s statement - and is on Drudge.
To the lady’s husband: I am very sorry for your loss. May a gracious God comfort you in your sorrow at this time, and may you and your wife be reunited in Heaven.
A dog..for those unaware is not like a gun..
For one thing, a gun is an inanimate object..
A dog, on the other hand is not an inanimate object.
And since a dog, in some circumstances, is unable to restrain itself, requires the owner to restrain his or her dog.
And, and this is crux of the matter, the owner is RESPONSIBLE for restraining his or her own dog.
Or he or she should face charges.
