Yup. Yet another mere coincidence involving pit bulls attacking children.

Wow, we haven't had a "all 'pit bulls' must die" thread in a long time.
About time.

Find the owners and jail them.

Sorry, it's far too obvious that my Lab was "hard-wired" to fetch, for me to not believe it is more than possible for a pit bull to be hard wired for violence.

Reminds me of escaped murderers and Muslims. Quite a similarity. (Well, not ALL Muslims)

This has already been linked but I do find anyone who owns a dog like this in an area with children to be socially irresponsable. Yes a pit can make a loving companion. So can just about any other type of dog. These dogs are bred for fighting and have exceptional jaw strength and are loathe to let go of anything. A lab or beagle that gets aggresive doesn't run the risk of ripping your face off and can't hold two men with baseball bats, and a bunch of people with rocks at bay. There is a reason pits are responsable for 1/3rd of dog deaths in the US.
To: FreedomPoster
Yes. But, as has been exhaustively detailed here before, the term "pit bull' is a catch-all phrase that includes every short-haired dog that bites somebody, regardless of breed.

One of my worst fears is a dog attacking one of my kids. If were are at someone's house and there are dogs there, I don't go to far away from my kids.

This is called a "frenzy". Dogs in a group, any kind of dog, is susceptible to this phenomenon.
People who own dangerous dogs should understand it. It is not a joke. When people hear of dogs "turning on the owner" this is usually the case. It is not uncommon for dogs in a frenzied state to attack each other as well.
No should own more than one large dog unless they fully understand what they have in their possession.
I rescue and turn around abused Dobermans. I refuse to place a Dob with an inexperienced owner. I tell the ones I do work with to always, always remember that what you have is a loaded double barreled shotgun, on four paws, with a mind of its own.
Only fools reject that advice.
This should never have happened.

when the dogs' owner tried to stop them, the dogs turned on him and bit off his thumb
I feel so bad.

When we go bike-riding or walking on the trails, I always carry.

I missed this weeks' "Space Aliens Abduct/Probe Rednecks" post too.
C'mon guys, you're slipping.

"the term "pit bull' is a catch-all phrase that includes every short-haired dog that bites somebody, regardless of breed." Every short-haired dog? So you're saying that every time a Dalmatian, a Lab, a Boxer, a Rottweiler, or a Doberman bites someone it's automatically listed as a "Pit Bull" attack?
Nonsense.

There's no such thing as a 'pit bull'. There is no such breed recognized by any kennel club on the planet.
Now having said that, not only the dogs but the owner should have been shot.

I predict the day will come when owning a dog will be something only the very rich will be able to afford. Here's the list of what the insurance companies are now considering "dangerous breeds": Pit Bulls, Rottweillers, German Shepherds, Huskies, Alaskan Malamutes, Doberman Pinchers, Chow Chows, Great Danes, St. Bernards, and Akitas. Perhaps the list has grown since I owned a dog and tried to get homeowner's insurance.

Of course it is not nonsense. It is typical MSM ignorance.

Sure, but Pit Bulls seem to be the norm.
