The results of pitbull attacks are so horrendous, that the victims disfigured faces cant even be shown on this message board. I think that says it all. This breed needs to go.

 

[TheOldSchool]

How many times are we going to see these stories of people being mauled by pit bulls? You always hear the same thing from pit bull enthusiasts, "it depends on how they are raised. My pit bull is as gentle as can be!". Its funny how the owners of the pit bulls that attack people always say "I cant believe it, my pit bulls played with my children." Well guess what, this kid was around these pit bulls before without incident, then suddenly one day these "peaceful" dogs killed a child and mauled his pregnant mother.

These dogs are ticking time bombs, therefore they aren't fit for domestication. They should be outlawed!

I guess I can understand why you think Pitbulls are inherently evil. You are a republican. You think people are born either right (white) or wrong. So of course, Pitbulls fall under the "wrong" category. And circumstances, other humans, etc. have no influence.

There is no such thing as an inferior human race, but there are inferior cultures. You should know; you belong to one.

Dog breeds do not equal human races. Herding dogs herd, site hounds hunt, Pit Bulls attack, the numbers are overwhelming.

They aren't unpredictable. People are stupid. Pits act exactly the way I expect them to act. View attachment 50075

WHO is stupid?

Pregnant woman mauled to death by family pit bull was in campaign group arguing that the animals are safe


A pregnant woman who was mauled to death by one of her pet pit bull terriers belonged to group campaigning to convince people that the animals aren't dangerous, it has emerged.

Darla Napora, 32, was bitten dozens of times and found by her husband Greg covered in blood outstretched on their living room floorin Pacifica, California.

Police say the two-year-old unneutered pit bull believed to be responsible was hovering around the woman, who had major injuries to her upper body and face.

Tragic: Darla Napora was a member of a pitbull advocacy group, it has emerged

Greg Napora returned home from work find his wife Darla outstretched on their living room floor having been bitten dozens of times

It has since emerged Napora was a member of Bay Area Dog Lovers Responsible About Pit Bulls, a group that does its best to convince people that pit bulls aren't really that dangerous.

'When they arrived, they found the victim laying in her own front living room; she was not breathing, unresponsive and had major trauma to her upper body,' said Pacifica Police Captain Dave Bretini.

'The husband stated that when he got home, at about noon, he found his wife with their pit bull hovering over her.'

Breed bans are stupid. Especially when it's not a breed but a type. Get rid of pit bulls and another breed will take it's place.

 

[koshergrl]

Btw, the napora case was nothing but a hit job by the hysterical anti pit lobby. She fell off a ladder, and the dog was protecting her. The autopsy results were never released but nobody knew how far along she was. Last I heard before the story completely went away was that they were waiting on toxicology reports.

 

[CremeBrulee]

I can show worse pictures of kids maimed in car wrecks or at the hands of moms boyfriend. Getting rid of pits isn't going to make ppl smart, or prevent dog bites. For one thing, American pit isn't a breed so much as a type. Any mongrel dog with a wide jaw is labeled a pit these days. It means nothing.

It is a type and breed. I agree with the rest of that though.

The "fell off a ladder" story is false. And there were autopsy results.

Coroner: Prelim Autopsy Results Show Pit Bull "Responsible For This Attack"
Darla Napora died of loss of blood and shock. Teeth impressions from the two-year-old male pit bull match her wounds. No evidence of other trauma was on her body.

Preliminary results from the autopsy conducted on Darla Napora - who police believe was by her pet pit bull on Thursday - and from the necropsy conducted on the suspect dog have been released.

According to a pathologist and two odontologists (bite experts) - one of whom had experience with recent dog attacks in the Bay Area at the San Mateo County Coroner’s Office - Napora died of a loss of blood from dog bites coupled with shock.

The 32-year-old Pacifica woman, who was pregnant at the time, lived at 588 Reina Del Mar Avenue with her husband and two pet pit bulls.

The of the necropsy on the suspect two-year-old male unneutered pit bull that was shot by police shortly after they arrived at Napora’s residence on Thursday show that the dog was responsible for the attack, Chief Jim Tasa said.

The evidence included hair and tissue sample removed from the dog. Teeth impressions from the dog match wounds on the victim, said Chief Tasa.

Teeth impressions were also taken of the family’s other pit bull, a female. No evidence shows that this dog was involved in the attack, said Chief Tasa. The Peninsula Humane Society took the dog after the incident to be inspected by a veterinarian.

There was no evidence of any other trauma to Napora’s body, the preliminary results of the autopsy show.

Agree.

Ever heard of a Golden Retriever mauling and killing anyone?
No? Didn't think so.
I have family members that have these dogs, and, one time I was visiting the told me (and my 2 young sons) just don't make any sudden moves and she'll be fine. WTF??

How about lock them up?

I will NEVER understand why people that have small kids insist this is the breed of dog they need. Crazy.

Hey Koshergirl, the man mauled in the Bronx was walking to church...maybe his pastor mauled him?

And this 65 year old man was taking a stroll last Wednesday...he probably tripped over a curb...

Man killed, woman injured in 'vicious' pit bull attack in Riverside County

A man was killed and a woman was severely injured after they were attacked by two pit bulls outside a home in a Riverside County neighborhood, authorities said.

Emilio Rios, 65, went for a morning stroll about 6:30 a.m. Tuesday when he was attacked by the two dogs, authorities said.

He was found by deputies, responding to a report of a dog attack, in the front yard of a home in the 70600 block of Sea Gull Drive in North Shore, an unincorporated community northeast of the Salton Sea, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department.

He suffered from wounds consistent with a dog attack.

As deputies investigated the scene, they heard a woman cry for help as two pit bulls attacked her nearby.

Authorities said the lights and sirens on their patrol car scared off the dogs, which fled the area.

The woman suffered major injuries and was taken to an area hospital.

I'm sure 16-year-old Briana Neira did something wrong...she was home...

Pit bull mix attacks Long Island teen after being rescued from kill shelter, gets euthanized: ‘There was blood everywhere’
BY Melissa Chan
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Updated: Tuesday, September 8, 2015, 3:58 PM

A pit bull mix rescued from a Manhattan kill shelter attacked a teen girl within seconds of stepping foot in its new Long Island home Sunday and was later put down, officials and scarred family members said.

The 2-year-old dog named Alex was saved by animal lover Stephen Neira, of Patchogue, just 22 minutes before he was set to walk down "death row" at Animal Care Centers of New York City.

But the brown-and-white canine's happy homecoming turned bloody when it lunged at Neira's three young children, chomping down on his oldest daughter's face, throat and arm.

"They're absolutely traumatized," Neira's father Frank Neira told the Daily News. "They won't even sleep by themselves since it happened. There was blood everywhere — on their deck, inside the house."

The 16-year-old victim, Briana, needed between 60 and 80 stitches on her arm after she lifted it to shield her throat, her grandfather said. She also underwent plastic surgery on her mauled lip at Stony Brook University after getting 20 stitches.

Briana was in a lot of pain and still recovering at the hospital Tuesday and refuses to speak to family members about the incident, Frank Neira, 60, said.

She and her 12-year-old sister Madison and 10-year-old brother Jake were anxiously waiting to greet their new pet when he entered from the back door and immediately lunged, unprovoked.

"The three of them were standing together waiting to be introduced to the dog," their grandfather said. "They were all looking forward to it. The second they opened the door, he jumped. They didn't even get a chance to meet him."

Your family members sound like idiots, and you are too if, knowing that, you didn't pick up your kids immediately and say "we'll have to visit some other time".

Mortality, Mauling, and Maiming by Vicious Dogs
John K. Bini, MD, Stephen M. Cohn, MD, Shirley M. Acosta, RN, BSN, Marilyn J. McFarland, RN, MS,
Mark T. Muir, MD, and Joel E. Michalek, PhD; for the TRISAT Clinical Trials Group

Conclusions:
Attacks by pit bulls are associated with higher morbidity rates, higher hospital charges, and a higher risk of death than are attacks by other breeds of dogs. Strict regulation of pit bulls may substantially reduce the US mortality rates related to dog bites.

Characteristics of the Pit Bull Breed

The attack pattern of pit bulls is different from that of other dogs. With other dogs, children are usually at highest risk of being bitten. In contrast, pit bulls seem to attack adults almost as frequently as they attack children. Pit bulls not only are notorious for their indiscriminate attack pattern but also are well known for the tenacity with which they continue with an attack. The case fatality reported above involved an infant that was mauled by 2 pit bulls. These dogs had previously bitten an 8-year-old relative in the face. When the dog’s owner attempted to stop the attack on the infant by stabbing the dogs with a knife, she became a victim herself, and police officers had to shoot (kill) the dogs at the scene. It is not uncommon to hear of witnessed attacks in which the pit bulls could not be stopped from attacking.

The inbred tenacity of pit bulls, the unrelenting manner in which they initiate and continue their attacks, and the damage they cause are the result of both genetics and environment. Therefore, this breed of dog is inherently dangerous. As stated by one author, “Temperament is not the issue, nor is it even relevant. What is relevant is actuarial risk. If almost any other dog has a bad moment, someone may get bitten, but will not be maimed for life or killed, and the actuarial risk is accordingly reasonable. If a Pit Bull Terrier or a Rottweiler has a bad moment, often someone is maimed or killed, and that has now created off-the-chart actuarial risk, for which the dogs and their victims are paying the price.”

A closer look at these figures indicates that 1 person is killed by a pit bull every 14 days, a person loses a body part to a pit bull attack every 5.4 days, 2 persons are injured by pit bulls each day, and 1.5 pit bulls are shot to death each day (Table 3).


TABLE 3.
Characteristics of Pit Bulls
Fatal Pit Bull Attacks Nationally

• Pit bulls attack indiscriminately
• Responsible for 65% of all fatal attacks in 2008
• 6 of 7 fatal dog bites in Texas in 2007 were inflicted by pit bulls
• 94% of attacks on children by pit bulls were unprovoked
• 81% of attacks that occurred off the owner’s property involved pit bulls
• One person is killed by a pit bull every 14 days
• One body part is severed and lost every 5.4 days as a result of pit bull attacks
• 2 persons are injured by pit bulls every day
• 1.5 pit bulls are shot to death every day

CONCLUSIONS

Dog bites are a serious public health concern in the United States and across the world. They result in substantial emotional and physical trauma and in a substantial economic cost to the victims and to society. Fortunately, fatal dog attacks are rare, but there seems to be a distinct relationship between the severity and lethality of an attack and the breed of dog responsible. The unacceptable actuarial risk associated with certain breeds of dogs (specifically, pit bulls) must be addressed. These breeds should be regulated in the same way in which other dangerous species, such as leopards, are regulated. Individual municipalities need the power to enact ordinances that can protect their citizens from this risk. If they are to obtain such power, the issue must be addressed at the local, county, and state legislative levels.

Hysterics? Of course!

Who in their right mind would expect to walk to church, take a stroll, or stand inside their own house without expecting to be attacked by a vicious animal?

Same argument libs use for guns. Pits are not the only dog breed that attacks people. If they are outlawed the aholes that want a bad ass dog for the purpose of intimidating people will simply move to another breed, like Rotweillers or Dobermans (which used to be the bad dogs).

I watch German Sheppards more than any other at the dog park. Not because they are evil but many don't understand that powerful working dogs need to works and be subservient to their masters. I belong to a dog forum I don't visit anymore because the libs go ballistic when I say shit like that.

 

[Iceweasel]

• Pit bulls attack indiscriminately

• Nonsense. They attack because they were raised to be bad asses. They are loving by nature. It's a human problem, not a dog problem. Just like with guns.
