So your dog just killed other people's cats?

Race? What are you talking about?

I was going off memory, but was off on the percentage of dogs. Pitbulls only account for 6.5% of the population. I assume males are just as likely as females to attack.

Pits require strong owners. Part of being a strong owner is not letting your pit kill anything. You shouldn't do anything to promote the prey drive.

My Aussie Shepherd will whip the shite out of a racoon (they usually get away and climb away). But, when done, she's back to being sweet and I don''t worry about her attacking someone.

I took my Aussie to Tractor Supply for a bath. Come in through the front and there's some dude with two huge male pits - NOT ON A LEASH. They were giving my dog the eye but stayed put. Apparently, they were very well trained. The manager was scared of the race issue and never confronted the guy about the unleashed dogs (he had them in to give them a bath).

This is why I have a Coconut Corn Husky. Sure, they are battle dogs, but they only battle stray cats in Miami.

This story is 2 years old.

This attack lasted over 10 minutes, and she never gave up trying to save these babies

Good lord.

This episode is a PERFECT example of how dumb the "it matters who the owners are, my little sweeties would never do this" argument is.

Why can't people understand: it doesn't matter if the breed is more or less likely to go haywire. What matters is THE BREED'S CAPACITY FOR EXTENDED AND HARDCORE MAYHEM SHOULD THEY GO HAYWIRE. Ten minutes of ripping 2 little children (one was 2 and one was 5 months) to shreds. TEN MINUTES.

These stupid fricking idiots literally welcomed muscular killing machines into the lives of their TINY CHILDREN.

Pit bulls are dangerous enough, but why take any chances with any dog with your children, especially babies? I've yet to leave my child alone with our dogs. They are not pit bulls or mixes, and they haven't shown violent behavior to date, but they are animals with a mind of their own. Just not worth the risk.

My lab, to this day, will run slap over our daughter. She was 6 when we got the dog and even as a puppy it'd plow her over. The dog, like all labs, also gnawed on her non-stop....with sharp little puppy needle teeth. They are thick as thieves. The nights that the dog has not slept in the bed with her can be counted on one hand. The dog worships the ground that my daughter walks on....she was walking her once and a Dalmatian charged them and the Lab nearly at that dog up. It is entirely possible that a 40 pound gangly lab could've hurt our daughter plowing her over...the child never complained and their relationship is the kind of stuff books are written about. Life is a series of near misses and close calls, going through life fearing life is, in my opinion, no way to live. I will promise you this, if you asked my daughter or the dog about it they would not change anything about their life together, bruises and teeth marks included.

That’s a good point and probably what I was going to have to resort to if it didn’t give up the attack. I’m a dog lover, like most others, so that was my thought only if it didn’t release. I also had a decent pocket blade on me, but in that moment I was so hyped up with adrenaline that I forgot it was there. Probably would have remembered if it turned on me or the owner or kid.

I am no fan of so-called pit bulls (there is no such animal, there is a pit bull terrier that is a distinct breed but the term pit bull is a generic term used to describe a multitude of dogs regardless of their ancestry). That said it is unlikely that any dog that kills a kid does so without having displayed some aggression at some point. Anyone who would keep that dog alive is an idiot. No matter the breed, any dog which has displayed aggression toward a human being has something seriously wrong with it.

Our lab, like all labs, chewed on folks regardless of their age or size, when she was a puppy. That behavior, while painful (sharp needle puppy teeth) is not aggressive, its playing. It still requires discipline because many people are convinced the 10 pound black bastard is about to eat them alive and at the end of the day people are more important than dogs. It is unlikely that a dog that eventually kills or even attacks a person has not shown signs of such behavior....and owners should understand those signs. We have a little dog that weighs about 10 pounds and we know she will bite a stranger in a minute...she did it once to a glass man repairing a window at our house. We do not allow her to be around anyone because of this....she is fine with us but let someone knock at the door or ring the bell and she will tell the world that some violence is about to kick off and she ain't going to get the worst of it. It is the owners responsibility to know their pet. If it has been even the slightest bit aggressive measures need to be taken to prevent it happening again. I would bet that ALL of these dogs have been aggressive and the owners did nothing about it.
