my brother shot his neighbors loose pit bull .. it was out loose when my sister in law drove up in front of the house in the driveway .. he was not letting her get out of the car so she called my brother from her cell outside .. he came out .. the dog got aggressive with him as well so he shot him .. he went inside called the cops ,, and told them he just shot his neighbors pit bull .. and the officer said "well what do you want us to do ? .. my brother said "well nothing i guess" .. just wanted you to know because there was probably gonna be some crap from the neighbor … he said you were in all your rights .. my brother said bye then .. and there was a little stuff from the neighbor .. very little .. i am guessing he didn’t want the trouble after all

Why are they looking for the man that stabbed the pit bull? It better be just to congratulate him and shake his hand!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Backwards justice. Protect the killer, prosecute the defender

At least it isn’t an innocent pet with no chance to fight back.

why go after the man who stabbed the loose one? seriously? his dog was on a leash

I see no problem here, moving on lol.

Doing what pits are bred for

The owner of the attacking pitt bull should be sitting in a jail cell… charged with dogfighting , endangering the public… whatever… sick and tired of these dogs attacking and killing everything and they just get another one… victims everywhere because of this stupidity… these dogs are not pets… they were bred for dog fighting… you have this dog in your possession you should be charged … should be considered premeditated… it’s no secret what they were bred for … sick of this crap

Is it illegal to stab a dog that is attacking your dog??

Who cares

Rest In Peace. These are the deaths, there are so many that have been mauled with physical and mental scars plus the hundreds, probably thousands of innocent pets, horses and livestock massacred.

I don’t think the killing of my Yorkie, Kanie, was reported. How can we report an attack? Obviously, the number of Pit attacks are much higher due to under reporting by unknowing ppl, like myself.

I always wonder about the "mixed breed" dogs….what are they mixed with? Often pit bull mixes are easy to identify because they have characteristics of the pit bull…..but few dog breeds are known for attacking people, pets and livestock….except the pit bull. Some of these deaths by "mixed breed" are probably deaths from mixed breed pit bulls…..

Definitely a pattern

Pit bulls savage. No other way to describe it.

Looks like the number should be higher than 28 pit bulls in the 43 deaths.

My daughter in law has a Pit mix, had it since it was a puppy, would NEVER listen to me about proper training and obedience lessons, so this 70# mutt dominates the sofa, will physically get all in your space, absolutely does NOT mind, and I’ve BEGGED her to get rid of her ….. BEFORE their son is born next March!

She’s refused! I’m terrified that this animal will harm this child because they’ve always allowed her to run the show and she’ll see this baby as competition.
God help them if this damn animal hurts my grandson!

The numbers climb every year. Keep repealing those breed bans America!! The pit bulls gotta eat!!

Brenda Hamilton killed by the two neighbor’s pit bulls. Officials need to get their act together. So obvious.

It does seem numbers have been consistently rising. This is because of more pit bulls overall and (I believe)the no kill.philosophy..

How many homeless have been killed? I know there’s been a few in the last year or so.

Here is why she was charged, from the article: "According to authorities, the dog attack was the reportedly the second time large pit bulls allegedly kept by Anglin had seriously attacked someone in the same river bed encampment area near the Tozer Bridge on the north side of the city. In 2017 another pack of large dogs allegedly kept by Anglin attacked and pulled down a man near the same area. That man sustained major bite wounds to his face, arms and neck, but survived after multiple surgeries."

Another pit hag 🙄

I understand loving your dog. I love mine with all my heart. But if ANY of them inflicted injuries like that to a human being, I’d never be able to look at it the same. It’s a no brainer. The dog intentionally mauled a human. That’s much different than jumping up and knocking someone down. Which, if that were actually the case, why the hell was the dog allowed to jump on a 95 year old in the first place? Nonsense, lady. Your dog killed someone. And shame on you for trying to cover it up. 😡

Why do people continue to shield these dogs???? they’re dangerous

The comments on the original thread are insane!!!! They want to hand this dog over to someone else so he can find happiness after he inflicted level 6 bites (meaning severe enough to kill)????

The Pitters are unbelievably ignorant!

🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵

Assuming she is right and the "overly enthusiastic" dog knocked down the old lady in a fit of overwhelming love …. Don’t you have to be a bit of a psychopath to insist it is not the dog’s fault? Not your fault for managing your rambunctious animal? Does assuming that this was just love at first sight make it okay?????? She killed a person FFS, and now she is lying about how it happened!

Sharon Rose holy 🤬

She died of her dog bite wounds and the woman lied to cover it up. She should be arrested

Pits don’t, have the right to maul.and kill.at will! Killers need to.be put down! And owners jailed.

I hope that dog is put down, he killed a 95 year old woman! What a horrible death!

I hope they do put the dog "down" ….and I hope they make Hornish watch just before they take her to jail.

A person with barn animals that doesn’t have a gun ready for an attack? Thats kinda different.

omg 3 still on the loose? usa get a grip on your dog issue.

DAM when will this stop?? I’m so pissed off!!

Mini horses are increasingly popular with horse people who don’t have time to ride anyway but still want a horse. They are incredibly cheap to house and feed. But they are very vulnerable during dog attacks. I foresee many more mini horse maulings before governments even begin to tackle the pit bull issues.

An infant in Michigan is dead after a tragic incident that occurred after her parents stepped away for five minutes.

Susannah Jean Murray was just three weeks old when a group of adults left her inside their house in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Thursday while they went onto the porch, .

After five minutes, an adult went back inside to check on the baby and found her bleeding from a severe head wound. One of the family’s three pit bulls had blood around its mouth, .

Guaranteed, those maulers ran home after the attack, where they will be hidden until the search wears off. I hope that if anyone sees them, in the future, they will do the right thing……

Just wait until the nutters start attacking the veterinarian who owned the horse, she named the breed type.

The judge has to decide if the dogs are dangerous???? Of course the dogs are dangerous. The dogs have already proved that fact. Both dogs should be put down sooner, not later. Perhaps the judge would like to give the dogs a chance to kill a person next?

A lab…hahahaha. We all know it was a Pit or a Pit mix! In the pictures, they all looked like they had Pit!

I bet they were all pit bull mixes. Let us see their photos

Oklahoma again. The glimpses I got of dogs looked like the so called lab was a pit mix and didn’t see anything that looked like a rott.

“Labrador”

Looks like a devil

Looks like the devil’s spawn.

I hope they are put down! This is insane allowing these dogs to maim and kill without consequences!

Lovely little “Nanny Dogs”. Let’s keep two aggressive pit bulls around our children. What could go wrong?

The leaf blower sounds like a good idea! Very glad it worked. I hope the victims will recover.

“It is not known what prompted the attack”
Why after all these attacks is the media STILL saying that?! Anything that breathes triggers an attack by the 💩bulls.
The media needs to STOP implying victims of the attacks , thunder or a seizure triggered these beasts!

I was in Home Depot yesterday. When I was walking to pay, I saw a huge black bullpit 25 feet away. People all around it. It started barking and lunging towards me. Fortunately, it didn’t break away from it’s owner. I would have been mauled and/or killed. It had on one of those service animal vests. Not one person standing next to it moved. I ducked out the door and came back in past it. I told the manager that it was agressive towards me. He asked if it was the black dog. I said yes. Paid for my stuff and got out of there. Anxiety and shaking for about an hour. People are so damn stupid. Why would they even let a 100lb + dog in a business?

My sister has one 100 pounds. She won’t listen.

I love it when they say they don’t know what caused them to attack. It is simple….They are bullpits!!!!

Every day. Every single day a pit bull is brutality savaging humans in the U.S.A. 24/7/364.75

No excuse for letting these muscular beasts live with kids.

Put a bullet in these dogs’ skulls. Every single pit bull. Eradicate them

Only a moron would have one of these mongrels as a pet.
