YT 1000 Club Member | Baby mauled and killed by pit bulls? I am saddened to read yet another story of a baby being mauled to death by dogs. I reserve my personal opinions at this time due to insufficient details. But, I must say that I do not get why some humans will purposely "train" dogs to attack and put the dogs and others at risk. 8-month-old boy dies after dog attack near San Diego - U.S. News

My furkids Donating Member | How sad....what that poor baby must have gone through...what were these parents thinking!!! I know pits get a bad rap all of the time...and I know this is a touchy subject here but, they are a very powerful dog....I have heard of good pits, being raised as pups in a loving home being sweet and gentle turn. But to intentionally have 3 of them that are aggressive is just insane! you are asking for trouble....I love all animals...big and small and know that any animal can turn nasty but to intentionally own and already aggressive animal is just asking for trouble.....I am NOT posting this to start a fight...this is just my opinion...

| I live in SD and saw the report on TV. The neighbor said he never noticed the dogs being agressive expect, "when they mauled my cat." NICE! They showed the three pits in the animal control and they all were calm and scared. I'm sure they will be put down because it is not known which dog or dogs did it. Homicide is investigating the situation.

Senior Yorkie Talker | You know our hearts have to go out to the owner of the pit bulls to because they love their baby's the same as we do our's. It's a shame maybe the justice in animal law should be started in our law when someone is hurt or injured by another they are put down. |

This is so very very sad. And I just want to say, an 8mth infant can't defend itself against any dog; even a Yorkie! And having said that, I would let no dog of any age or breed around my baby unsupervised. What were these parents thinking.

| I agree that they were probably well-loved by their owners but what would you have authorities do with dogs that maim or kill? Would you take them? Shelters, rescues everywhere are full to overflowing & Animal Shelters in this country are daily killing thousands of dogs who have never bitten, let alone killed. And apparently the owner can't control them. Dogs aggressive enough to sustain an attack to the death of the victim are vicious - not through any fault of their own. Pitbull rescues are already full everywhere. These bully dogs are just often genetically damaged due to fighting tendencies in their bloodlines from unethical breeding for #1)vicious ferocity & #2)bulldog determination to sustain attacks until the dog itself drops from exhaustion. Often, that is way too late for its helpless victim. You just can leave a dog like that out in society where it could repeat.

| How tragic! My thoughts and prayers are with the child's family as well as the pittbulls' family. |

| How sad! A friend of mines niece was recently attacked by a pittie and now he is anti-pitbull. I had a pittie years ago, Bonnie, she was a sweet dog and I was blessed to have her. I hate the bad rap they get when something like this happens. As a teenager I was attacked by two dogs at once, was bit by a dog, cat and even ferret as a child and I still love all those species.
