Read this elsewhere earlier today. Just horrible. Even more unbelievable that some still defend that breed.

Yet another Pitt Bull attack (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter pantherclub
- Start date
It’s a typical social issue. People can’t see stuff that is the best for everyone. They have to prove others wrong so they decide to get dogs that are great family pets, until they aren’t. Problem is always that instead of a bit and stitches, you get dead or maimed people, mainly children.
Having two pit bulls (or any other potential aggressive or larger dog) with two very young children is definitely a horrible idea.

Tragic. Parents should be charged IMHO.
Dogs that fatally mauled Tennessee toddlers, injured mom were never violent, friend says
Tennessee authorities euthanized a pair of pit bulls that fatally mauled two toddlers and seriously injured their mom when she tried to save them, officials said.www.foxnews.com
This is the risk on any dog. My neighbor's daughter was babysitting 3 kids who had a golden retriever about 3 yrs ago. She went to change the babies diaper and starter hearing screaming. One of the other 2 kids had a cookie or something dog tried to get it and the kid did something to PO the dog and attacked the kid. Nothing serious but the kid needed stitches and the parents tried blaming my neighbors daughter.
My Grandparents dog was attacked by a German Sheppard former police/gaurd dog. They happened. Certain breeds need just a lot of training. I've said this since coming to this thread but there's a lot of people who shouldn't have a dog and have no way to train them properly. I already told the story how my friends dog during the pandemic shouldn't be there either.
You also have breeders who do stupid things with dogs breeding certain breeds who shouldn't together. Unfortunately then the dogs get blamed for everything instead of the people who own them. I think more needs to be done in all pet attacks of blaming owners more. Also I don't think the public should be allowed to having former trained police, guard, military etc dogs. I think they need to be kept either with the person who trained them or the person who was responsible for them then. These dogs take years of training.
Also do to the misuse of DNA etc many Pittbulls are misindetified and grouped in.

The owner said, in the moment of the attack, she thought her dog was dead
Deconstructing Flawed Pit Bull Statistics
Comprehensive studies on canine DNA and visual breed identification have determined that 60% of dogs identified as 'pitbulls' lack DNA from recognized pitbull-type breeds. This discrepancy leads to inaccurate breed information in media reports and unreliable statistics on dog bites and attacks.
What the heck does that study have to do with pit bulls being way more dangerous than golden retrievers? It wasn’t a study on dogs who had killed people it was just about mislabeling dogs in shelters, probably because they want to be too careful so a family doesn’t pick a dog they shouldn’t.Tragic. Parents should be charged IMHO.

Also, all three of your examples ended up in stitches, not two dead toddlers. Do you see the difference?

Horrific death of an elderly man
This one is especially tragic because the city had been called out and the dogs confiscated on at least two previous occasions when the dogs bit someone. Yet in both cases, the bites were deemed "minor" and the dogs returned to the owners. Now a man is dead and the owners have been charged.

Link underneath. This is awful. Owner's little boy was somehow unharmed. There is a pic of an officer on her knees trying to talk to the child. It is chilling.
They were in a park and right by an elementary school, which had to go on lockdown. Police tased the dogs, who finally ran off, and caught two. Found the third later on, near its home. Never heard of this breed. Another name for them is American Bullies, they said. Seems they are basically huge pit bulls. So yeah, the 25 year old Dad thought not one was a good idea, but two. No wait, we need three of these!
Shovels couldn't stop the attack. Broken golf clubs also at the scene. Another man was attacked, presumably trying to help, he's in the hospital. The sight of police picking up clothing ripped to shreds and drenched in blood, and that is no exaggeration, is gruesome.
Man mauled to death in park by his own 3 "XL Bullies". <--- Link I think, if I did that right.

Ridiculously stupid to own 3 with a kid.
Also, looking at Zillow, almost all the homes around the park are million dollar homes, so the whole bad owner statement doesn’t seem to apply. Some dogs are just lethal and shouldn’t be owned. Unfortunately, too many people want to promote the breed as just fine and this happens too much. The poor kid is absolutely traumatized for life but I’d rather his dad pay for being stupid than the kid.

After fatal dog attack, mom and son get more than 10 years amid push for owner penalties
A mother and son were sentenced to prison after their pit bulls fatally mauled a neighbor. Dogs attacks have become more common in recent years.

Nice job, Ohio. Hold the owners accountable for these attacks.

Here's another one...one of the worst yet. Full transparency, I'm not pro or anti-pit bull. I have zero interest in being around one, but I don't think the breed is inherently bad. They're a difficult dog to own, with a high selection bias towards being owned by bad pet owners. Bad combo. I am 100% for holding the owners responsible in all cases. If you choose that breed, you need to be held responsible - same for all breeds. It's like buying a 1,000 HP car then using "I couldn't control it" as your excuse for an accident.
Anyway...In this case, it sounds more like a really tragic chain of events, but with that said, I'm not sure I'd pick someone with SIX pit bulls to watch my kid...Long story short, mom asks an elderly lady to watch her 4 year-old. Elderly lady has 6 pit bulls (and another dog). Elderly lady has a pre-existing medical condition and basically drops dead. Pit bull(s) turn on the 4 year old and kill her.
Article with some details - summarized above.

if they were cats they would have eaten the dead woman and left the kid alone.

Wow. Yeah. Evidently I’m almost elderly now.
