Pit bulls have been bred to kill in a pit, they cannot be trusted ever.
Never ever?

I used to own an Amstaff, do I count as "mindless?" He never killed anyone, though.
I will say that these parents should be put in jail forever. Letting a 5 y.o. girl play unsupervised in a yard with three intact (presumably) PBT's, with documented aggressive behavior, with one of them being pregnant and two of them chained....that's criminal stupidity.
But they were just sweet dogs! “ I just don’t know what happened?”
Those parents let that child play in that yeard with thsoe killer dogs, one of whome was pregnant...and didn’t protect her.
I am having a very very very hard time sympathizing with these adults!
Amen TPB.
I cannot stand pit bulls. Please do not tell me it’s the owner, nope it’s the dog. Pit bulls have been bred to kill in a pit, they cannot be trusted ever.
“Apologists? Where are you?
Unlike guns, dogs kill people.”
Huh? Maybe you ought to hang around here a bit more before posting.
“I am having a very very very hard time sympathizing with these adults!”
I agree. I’m coming to the conclusion that anyone with a pit bull is a gang banger or a want to be. There is really no reason for this breed.
Well, OK. I missed the sarcasm. It must have been well hidden.
The parents will beg mercy, for they lost a daughter.
Regardless of their upbringing or training or the love they are given, their jaws lock in in such a way, it is very difficult to free them from their victim. Other dogs bite, but most do not have the massive locking jaw.
Or you just did not want to see it.
WWII......Jews
Is that where?
I'd like to see some stats on fatal cat attacks.
Every pitbull has the potential...But not all pit bulls are chained in the yard, socially neglected and left to stew in their own company.
It amazes me that even though these dogs were treated this way, the report tries to make them sound like family pets that just snapped. It’s misleading.
The owners knew they were dangerous and didn’t care enough to protect their daughter.
I have difficulty with the mother saying she “just thought they were playing.” A child’s screams being attacked by a pit bull hardly sounds like a 5 yr old playing!
“Or you just did not want to see it.”
It’s your story.
Again, it is their breeding and upbringing. Ever try to remove a dog intent on "bringing an enemy down"?
And- amid all this horror- the lie:
Beware your dog, no matter the breed.
All dogs are NOT equally dangerous when provoked or enraged.
I do not fear my 9 lb Maltipoo, no matter how bad tempered he might get.
Pitbulls are to other dogs as Godzilla is to regular lizards.
They should not be near children-ever.
It's the owner.
