Pet pit bulls maul animal-loving Virginian woman to death (or ... ?)

+1

A 75-year-old woman in Gulfport, Mississippi, was mauled to death by two pit bulls Wednesday morning. Police quickly responded to a call from the woman’s neighbors who reported that she was being viciously attacked by the dogs. But the cops didn’t arrive in time to save the woman. She died from her wounds before an ambulance arrived on the scene, according to the Gulfport Sun Herald.

The owner of the two pit bulls, 32-year-old Deidra Craft, has been arrested by police, according to WDAM7. This is not the first time Craft’s pit bulls have gotten in trouble. In 2017, her two dogs broke into a neighbor’s yard and attacked a golden retriever.

That incident resulted in a misdemeanor charge for Craft. No charges have yet been filed in the fatal mauling and both pit bulls have been surrendered to animal control.

Pit bulls were responsible for nearly two-thirds of all dog-bite fatalities in America from 2005-2017. There are numerous cases of the dog breed turning on their owners.

Just last week, a pit bull owner in Iowa claimed his dog managed to shoot him with his own gun. (?!)

These land sharks are not meant to be pets. How are they even legal to own? When I see someone who owns one I can’t help but think they are irresponsible aholes, but ultimately the government will have to address this.

All pit bull owners are idiots.

The dog’s owner, identified as Stephanie Taylor, tried to pull back her animal from the young boy, but the pit managed to break free and attacked the child again — this time tearing off a piece of the victim’s cheek. The boy suffered injuries to his face and shoulder in the brutal attack and had to be airlifted to a Tampa hospital. His parents plan to press charges against Taylor. The pit bull, named Sage, is currently in animal control custody.

Sage has a long history of violence. The pit bull attacked fellow canines in 2017 and bit an animal control officer in 2018, according to WFTS.

In spite of the pit bull targeting and mauling a young child for no reason, its owner insists her dog is really sweet, according to WPTV.

wow, on top of being dangerous, pit bulls are butt ugly!

An Oklahoma woman was mauled to death by a pack of seven dogs that weighed no more than 40 pounds each, police said Thursday. The victim, 52-year-old Tracy Garcia, was walking near her home in Ardmore, Okla. when the dogs attacked. The dogs were dachshund and terrier mix, one is believed to be a border collie mix.

When police arrived on the scene, they shot one of the dogs.

“Unfortunately, yes. We had to shoot one dog,” Carter County Sheriff Chris Bryant told KFOR-TV. “It did charge our deputies and to protect our deputies, as well as the medical personnel, we did have to put down a dog.”

Garcia was taken to a nearby hospital where she died of her injuries.

The dogs were taken to an animal shelter where they were euthanized.

According to the shelter’s euthanasia technician, Amanda Dinwiddie, the dogs were dachshund mixes between the ages of one and three years.

“They have really noticeable characteristics like their knobby legs, knees, very short legged dogs and their coats,” Dinwiddle told KXII-TV.

Dinwiddie says the dogs were infested with fleas and ticks but didn't have any other visible health concerns.

"We were cleaning ticks off ourselves all day," Dinwiddie said. "They are very covered, you can tell they have been living out in the woods."

The vet hospital says the animals won't be tested for rabies, a decision Dinwiddie understands.

Dachshunds weigh no more than 20 pounds and don't maul people to death.

The key words there are "terrier mix" which means they were pit bulls mixed with something else.

German Shepherds? lol dude, go own a chihuahua then you freaking idiot. Any dog can be trained to bite and attack.

Take your stupid butt to a dogpark. Watch the pitbulls play with other dogs, and play nicely with humans. Sure they are probably a little more play aggressive but at my dogpark, the pitbulls are fine, the shepherd's are fine. All the dogs are fine. There was one bad dog one time and his owner was an idiot and laughed as his non pitbull dog attacked 2 other dogs.

lol oh that's why Chihuahuas kill people every month. Oh wait, they don't?? Just Pits??

Hmm.

I thought every dog was as killer if given the chance.

A pit bull went rogue and attacked its own family earlier this week in Florissant, Missouri. The event occurred near sunset on Monday. The pit bull attacked all members of the family of four, three of whom — one adult and two teens — had to be taken to the hospital for their leg and arm injuries.

The family managed to barricade the dog in a room before the pit bull could strike another innocent person. Police eventually arrived and took the dog into custody, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The traumatized family — which had only owned the dog for a few months — told the authorities their dog was a pit bull. However, animal control tried to complicate the dog’s origins by saying it was a pit bull-bulldog mix — a common tactic among pit bull advocates.

The town of Florissant previously had a building ordinance banning pit bulls, but the city council voted to strike it down last year.

Incidentally, they are supposed to be a banned breed in the UK.

I'll just leave this here...

Soooooo the conclusion is....eradicate pit bulls from the planet. There is no reason to keep around a breed that has an instinct to kill.
