Here we go.....weekly PitBull death mauling

[lebomb]

WESLACO, Texas (AP) -- A 5-year-old boy has been mauled to death by a pit bull at the home where he was staying with relatives, said Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino.

The boy was pronounced dead at the scene. Hidalgo County Justice of the Peace Rosa Trevino told The Monitor in McAllen for its Thursday editions that the condition of the child's body suggested there was no way emergency responders could have saved his life.

Sheriff's deputies were investigating at the home north of Weslaco late into the night on Wednesday. The sheriff said deputies must determine whether the dog had been confined and how the boy came into contact with the animal.

Sheriff Trevino declined to identify the boy pending notification of his mother, who lives and works in Washington state. The boy's father lives in Mexico.

The sheriff said the boy had been living with his aunt and uncle after Child Protective Services placed him with them. The circumstances of that placement were not immediately known.

Luis Palomo, 20, said he was down the street playing football with friends when the trouble began. He said the victim was at home with a baby sitter when one of two pit bulls at the house began running around the front yard, getting a second pit bull inside the home riled up.

He said that the baby sitter and boy were inside the house with the second dog and were scared, so he tried to intervene. While he managed to distract the dogs temporarily, the boy wandered out the back door and one of the dogs grabbed him by the torso and dragged him.

Palomo said that the dog locked its jaws around the boy's neck.

Its just the owners not knowing how to raise these dogs. They are usually sweet and peaceful. They never snap and attack anyone. :rolleyes

[peewee's lovechild]

Kid probably pissed off the pitt bull.

[Spuradicator]

Jeez, thats horrible.

[tlongII]

There is no such thing as a pit bull. It is a fictional breed.

[midgetonadonkey]

I'm really surprised that something like this would happen in Weslaco.

[peewee's lovechild]

I'm really surprised that something like this would happen in Weslaco.

I would think Weslaco would have rapid roosters looking for something to kill after a vicious cockfight.

Pit Roosters.

Pit Roosters.


What's a rapid rooster?

[peewee's lovechild]

What's a rapid rooster?

That would be a fast rooster.

But, I meant rabid.

[midgetonadonkey]

You are really good with the English language.

[peewee's lovechild]

You are really good with the English language.

I really am.

A rapid, rabid rooster.

It's a bit of a tongue twister.

Edgar Allen Poe would've gotten that one wrong.

I was pronouncing it the way the Indians do. It was an Indian chick I was talking to.

any one else from the valley?

[Heath Ledger]

this shit saddens me I have the sweetest most loveable female pit she's afraid of her own shadow I just don't get all of these mauling stories wtf are these owners doing to these damn dogs?

[RandomGuy]

Invariably the owners always say "it was the sweetest dog in the world."

The things have jaws like vices, whether the dog is sweet or not. ANY dog can get riled up, but I would rather have a chihuahua attached to my kid's ankle than one of these things attached to my kids throat.

They are like guns. By itself it isn't all that dangerous, but they do go off and kill people.

I would pay to live in a community where the things were banned.

lebomb and spurstalk getting sued now..

You daft... there is a lapse in their brain somewhere.. I don't know what to call it. No pit is immune from it. They all have some disorder where they could go off at any minute.

Your dog is a mixture of about 20 dogs man. I am sick and fucking tired of pit owners saying nooo my dog is special my dog is different. Please just can it. Pit bulls have a chemical disorder or something I don't know but they ALL have it. Just cause yours don't show it doesn't mean it can't happen.

[easjer]

EVERY dog has this ability to maim or injure. Are we going to be posting all the stories of Doberman attacks or Lab attacks or any other big dog attacks?

Please.

[tlongII]

Please.

Labs and Dobermans don't have the same capacity to injure/maim that Pits have.

[BacktoBasics]

We have a half pit half rott. Great dog I have no worries when my two years wrestles around with him. The dog and pig get along fine too. Some dogs might have the ability to be more aggressive or so forth I wouldn't argue that but upbringing plays a huge portion in whether that dog is tempted to attack.

LMAO......I read the attacks on those googled pages.......the other dogs Pinchers and Labs were running out in the open on the streets and attacked strangers. The pitbull attacks were PETS of the owners as well as ones on the streets.

:lol

what a joke

[BacktoBasics]

I see it all the time. Stupid ass mexicans love to showcase their angry mean dog like its a piece of jewelry. Having the pup walk around with leg weights on and smacking it silly, taunting it, so grows up to be some crazy ass guard dog. Then we wonder why it attacks on the drop of a dime. There is typically a huge difference between a lab owner and some dumbshit pit owner. Fucking dirties love making their animals angry.

[TheSanityAnnex]

You daft... there is a lapse in their brain somewhere.. I don't know what to call it. No pit is immune from it. They all have some disorder where they could go off at any minute.
The American Temperament Tests Society (www.atts.org) ranks the American pit bull terrier at 84.3 per cent and 84.3 per cent, respectively, in terms of percentage passes relating to their extensive temperament testing.
This is higher than German shepherds (83.5 per cent), Rottweilers (82.6 per cent),Doberman Pinschers (http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20080609/letters/letters5.html#) and toy poodles (81.6 per cent).

Pit bulls have a chemical disorder or something I don't know but they ALL have it. Just cause yours don't show it doesn't mean it can't happen.You are right, this is something you don't know. They have no such disorder and if you knew anything about the breed you'd realize how stupid your argument sounds. By the way, the pitbull is a cross between the English working Bulldog and the English working Terrier, hardly 20 dogs, man.

I'd like to know how many UKC American Pitbull Terriers are registered in Weslaco, Texas. I'm guessing very few. Wouldn't surprise me if this were not just another case of misidentification.


In the media the term is pitbull is vague and may include other breeds with similar physical characteristics, such as the Perro de Presa Canario (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perro_de_Presa_Canario), Cane Corso (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cane_Corso), Dogo Argentino (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogo_Argentino), Alano Espanol (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alano_Espanol), Japanese Tosa (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tosa_%28dog%29), Dogue de Bordeaux (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dogue_de_Bordeaux), Cordoba Fighting Dog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cordoba_Fighting_Dog), Bull Terrier (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull_Terrier), Antebellum Bulldog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antebellum_Bulldog), Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alapaha_Blue_Blood_Bulldog), American Bulldog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Bulldog), Boxer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxer_%28dog%29), Valley Bulldog (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valley_Bulldog), Olde English Bulldogge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olde_English_Bulldogge), Renascence Bulldogge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renascence_Bulldogge), and Banter Bulldogge (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Banter_Bulldogge&action=edit&redlink=1)

Excellent point. They call everything pit bulls.

[Extra Stout]

Any compact, stocky, muscular dog that injures or kills a human is by definition a pit bull.

Excellent point. They call everything pit bulls.


There are 20+ breeds that are commonly incorrectly identified as pit bulls http://www.pitbullsontheweb.com/petbull/findpit.html

Family Jack Russell Terrier kills infant

Police are investigating after a Lexington baby was killed by the family dog.
The attack happened at around 3:50, Friday afternoon, at a home on Seven Pines Drive.
Police say the family's Jack Russell Terrier mauled seven-week-old Justin Mozer while his mother
was in the bathroom, reportedly bathing another child.
The coroner says the baby was found unresponsive at the home and later died at the hospital.
Right now, the death is being ruled an accident and no charges have been filed.
There's no word on Mozer's funeral arrangements.
Funeral arrangments for Justin have not yet been set.

There are stats dating back I don't know how long where they put the dog down and the breed is recorded differently from the initial police report and the report from the pound. Its the number one misidetified breed and thats hard facts anyone who thinks differently is just plain dumb.

Every time I see a video on the news of a mauling.....they are dragging the same type of dog (visually) into the damn pound truck. The dog may differ slightly, but they are from the same family......medium height, very stocky, wide muzzle and head and very muscular, and they usually have their ears clipped. That isnt a Pitbull??? or very similar terrier??? If people cant see that, then they are ignorant. :rolleyes I damn sure can tell the difference from a doberman, lab, german shepard and a Pitbull or similar TERRIER. I have a family member that owns two AKC registered Pitbulls and they look EXACTLY like the dogs we are talking about. EXACTLY. Now that being said......he is about to get rid of one of them, because this dog has become increasingly aggressive and he doesnt understand why. He raised both from puppies......purchased them both at the same time.

[BacktoBasics]

If the media even gets a whiff of the word Pitbull their sending out the cameras. They get tons more publicity because the word pitbull is like the word sex and everyone stops and listens. Pitbulls are the Miami Heat of national broadcasts no matter how pointless it is you can't break free of them.


medium height, very stocky, wide muzzle and head and very muscular, and they usually have their ears clipped.

You just described probably 40 breeds. Ridgebacks, whippets, all terrier breeds, mastiffs and so on are commonly confused because the general public is about as smart as a box of rocks. Whats ignorant is too assume that despite the facts and despite the proof you refuse to believe the reality of what is true and base your entire opinion on news and media coverage. You must have derived from a breed of large headed medium height slightly stocky wide eyed portly dipshits that all look alike and base facts off what our media puts out. Again you're basing your beliefs on a source thats likely accurate 40 or so percent of the time.

You just skimmed over all the proof you could ever want to dispell your idiotic train of thought and blindly proceeded to keep coming strong with your tried and unproven belief in complete and utter bullshit because the news says so and we see it everywhere and blah blah blah.

You have to be the dumbest person ever to base fact on media coverage. I hope you're sterile or a lab mauls your penis.

You cant be serious??? You absolutely cant be serious. A ridgeback and whippet looks nothing like a pitbull terrier. Please tell me you are joking. A whippet is thin as hell, long legs and is a race dog. You would never race a fucking terrier......LMAO. A ridgeback is fucking HUGE. That dog is more closely related to a shepard than a fucking pitbull!!!


Also, did you just read that I KNOW personally someone that raised two AKC registered pitbulls?? Look at what the hell you skimmed over......living proof. He stated one of his pits has begun to be very aggressive, and he doesnt even know why. FUCK IT......I give up. Keep you pitbulls everyone......they make great pets for your children. :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

We just had a fucking ridgeback confused for a rabid pitbull here a few week ago. Thats why I tossed it out there.

The news rep who did our commercial got a call about a loose pitbull and one of the neighbors was out side with a shootgun stalking the animal. They rush over and the driver identified the dogs breed as a ridgeback, the owner lived a block over and dog had up to date tags with a phone number and address. My father in law lives two streets over. Dog was returned after the kid admitted taunting the animal and breaking the dog free of his chain. The police blotter on the inside of the first page read as if they cornered a rabid dog on the loose and the pound came out to the rescue. Total garbage. The kid didn't even have broken bones and the dog was never impounded.

http://www.caller.com/news/2008/jun/06/pit-bull-attacks-young-boy/


A 9-year-old boy was attacked by a pit bull about 7 p.m. Thursday in the 2200 block of Talisman Street, police said.

The gray pit bull, previously tied in front of a residence, broke free and clamped onto the boy’s left forearm, breaking both bones in two places, according to a police brief released Friday.

The owner of the dog was not at home at the time of the attack, and the dog was impounded by the city’s animal control officers.

Just so you understand I can tell the difference between most breeds but most people can't. The news will report whatever the news wants without reprocussions.

When the dog bites somebody, it transsubstantiates into a pit bull, even while retaining the accidents of another breed. This is dog-ma.

I've owned my pit for 8 years now she gets along with cats kids babies c hiuahahs and big dogs
I have absolutely no Doubt in my mind that she would absolutely never just randomly attack someone or another animal in fact if someone were attacking me she would either run away or lick tv attacker in the face

Pit bulls have a chemical disorder or something I don't know but they ALL have it.

The American Temperament Tests Society (www.atts.org) ranks the American pit bull terrier at 84.3 per cent and 84.3 per cent, respectively, in terms of percentage passes relating to their extensive temperament testing.
This is higher than German shepherds (83.5 per cent), Rottweilers (82.6 per cent),Doberman Pinschers (http://www.jamaica-gleaner.com/gleaner/20080609/letters/letters5.html#) and toy poodles (81.6 per cent).

You are right, this is something you don't know. They have no such disorder and if you knew anything about the breed you'd realize how stupid your argument sounds. By the way, the pitbull is a cross between the English working Bulldog and the English working Terrier, hardly 20 dogs, man.

What argument? I already won dude.. get over yourself.

If those stats are true, why are there more PB deaths and attacks than any other pooch?

Seriously, there is no comeback to that. Your little stats got served.

The fundamental flaw found when using breed and/or statistics to define canine behavior is that it gives no recognition to natural canine behaviors and ignores dangerous ownership practices. Or, in other words, the behaviors which directly played a role in an individual case of fatal canine aggression are ignored, while breed history, image and statistics are discussed.
Recently, some organizations and politicians are now found keeping "track" of Pit bull related fatalities as found reported in the media. These running logs or tabulations on the breeds involved in attacks are then used as evidence of "breed aggression".
The most obvious flaw with this "method" of addressing canine aggression is that these individuals / organizations have predetermined aggression to be the result of breed. When evidence is found (i.e., a dog involved in an attack and identified in the media to be a "Pit bull") that supports their predetermined belief, no future investigation is done on these incidents.
This approach at addressing canine aggression can be dangerous, because it either ignores or refuses to acknowledge the very real canine and human behaviors that have played a direct role in cases of canine aggression and teaches us nothing about the prevention of dog attacks.





In the decade between 1966-1975, less than 2% of all dogs involved in fatal attacks in the United States were of the breeds which today are targeted so frequently as the solution to canine aggression, (Pit Bull or Rottweiler).

Wonder if we feel differently today because of the media :rolleyes

I got it on the 2nd try. It wasnt hard at all if you ask me. Almost all of those dogs dont even look like Pitbulls. I know what an actual Pitbull breed looks like. The dogs that people confuse with Pitbulls are actually close too the Pitbull breed.....not bull mastiffs and ridgebacks. :rolleyes

The mauling/death dogs are cousins to Pitbulls minimum. :lmao
