Pit Bulls kill Child

[piasabird]

Here we go again another child has been killed by 2 pit bulls. I dont see why people with children think these animals are safe. This woman thought the Dogs were dangerous, yet she didnt get rid of them. She cared more for the dogs than her own son.

Mother of mauling victim feared family dog

I just dont see why people think these animals are safe. Instead of trying to cage up the dogs she tried to cage up her son.

What's there to say?

Just have to shake my head at the unfortunate fact some people do very dumb things.

 

[miketheidiot]

what kind of idiot buys a pit bull anyways, who wants a dog breed to kill as a pet?

 

[Engineer]

for the child...

*sigh*....people never learn.....

Edit: What a terrible way to die

"It's Nicky's time to go," she said in the interview. "When you're born you're destined to go and this was his time."

uugh.

The lady didn't quite sound convinced she may have had a part in his death, did she?

Quite the contrary. She seemed to be saying it was his destiny. FFS.

I'm sure PitBulls are fine dogs in the proper setting, but damn people are daft. If you have small children or plan on having children, don't get a fvkn PitBull! Not every PitBull is going to kill a child, but you may as well put a loaded gun unattended where the kids play if you think of getting one.

Some people just don't understand dogs and probably should have fish for pets. Dogs, especially PitBulls, can just switch from Lovable to a Killing Machine in a split second, given the right circumstance. Someone I know bought a pair(male/female) of Argentinian Dogos and though they are nowhere near as agressive as a Pitbull, if another dog comes near the yard their demeanor changes in a way that left me shocked the first time I saw it. They go from playful and gentle to wanting to rip the nearby dog to shreads quicker than you could turn on a lightbulb. Commands from their Master are completely ignored and the owner has had to resort to using an Electro shock collars in order to get he dogs attentions under such circumstances. That said, they are fine dogs under all other conditions and I have grown to love them as much as the owner has.

Most people don't treat their animals properly in the first place. This isn't suprising, neither does it suprise me of the mother's apathy and defensive stance. I was a surgical vet tech for many years and you hear these stories all the time. People are stupid, and animals (and other people) suffer because of it. Animals were never meant to be possessions, nor were they ever meant to be caged, or chained. The pit bull is probably the worst example of our playing Dr. Evolution. Honestly this woman isn't exactly the best care taker in the world (to say the absolute least), and should have never been trusted with children, let alone an animal capable of what that dog is capable of doing.

This mom will absolutely be charged with some crime; manslaughter, invol.- manslaughter, something. The DA in San Francisco will not let this slip past. I normally don't like any prosecution, but in this case, I say put the idiot (mom) in the slammer for 10 years.

 

[Steeplerot]

Didn't the bay area have a lady get her arms chewed off a few years ago by a pit bull? damn, that is awful..Another reason I wear steel tipped boots...

Thankfully, your prediction was true!

I don't see any of her smart ass comments now...

well, one...

Reached before her arrest Thursday, Faibish said simply: "I know I didn't do anything wrong.''

Inflicting pain on pit bulls only causes their jaws to lock tighter. The dog is physically unable to release you from its lock even if it wanted to until it calms down. It's jaw literally locks down and the dog cannot voluntarily release.

Pits are no more inherently vicious than many other breeds of dogs. I've had 4 of them myself and have 1 at the moment that's an absolute sweetheart. She has kids crawling on her all the time and treats them as if they were her puppies. The only real difference between pits and many other dogs is their strength and the amount of damage potential they can cause in a very short period of time.

The real problem here was two-fold. First of all it sounds like this woman didn't know how to raise a child, let alone dogs. Both require lots of love, attention, and discipline and it doesn't seem. by her statements, that she was doling that out to either her kid or her dogs in any of the necessary quantities. Locking her kid in the basement instead of the dogs? WTF?

Second of all she had a male and female, neither of which were fixed. Of course the male is going to be protective and act domineering around a female in that case. Unless people plan on breeding their dogs, they should always get them fixed. For pits especially, it's a good way to moderate their temperment.

Some people are just too ignorant to have dogs or children, and this woman should never been allowed to have either.

You have to get your hand in their mouth and press down on the back of their tongue - creates an involuntary release. Works for all dogs.

Unfortunately, then they'll probably just go for a better spot

This is the real truth here. Although I would say she didn't know how to raise a dog, and had to buisness with a child.

Very true. We have bread dogs over the years (not pits) and if you aren't going to breed them, for sure get them fixed. It greatly reduces the males agression and makes the females more playful. At least in our experiences.

 

[0roo0roo]

pit bulls were bred to be little monsters. the power of genetics.

 

[Todd33]

Pit Bulls are great... in shallow graves. All dogs bred for killing and fighting should be banned in city limits. Why can't I own a Lion or Tiger? Dumb.

 

[irwincur]

She needs to be killed in the same way.

Apparently it is cool now to own as many of these beasts as you can, and the treat them like crap. It seems like an out of control trend in my town. It seems when you drive through the poorer side of town that everyone has one or two Pitbulls strapped to their wrists at all times. Great proection, but for the most part the ones I have seen all looked like they have been treated like crap. Just called the Humane Society on a guy down the street with two - he feeds them raw meat, hits them all of the time, slaps them on the nose constantly, and makes them live outside without any shelter, food or water. Ticking time bombs.

What a dick.

Sorry, Pits and Rots were expressly bred to be war dogs. Their lineage clearly starts in the Roman army and they have served that role through WWII with the Germans - who adopted them from the Romans centuries before.

 

[nutxo]

It's amazing.

Although I disagre with many people in this forum I've never considered any of you ignorant, until now.
