Oh no, not again
 

More bad news from the u.k.

Really sad story regarding a little boy and his granny being attacked by a dog. The granny was injured, but the little boy was mauled to death.
Very tragic.

BBC News - Dog that mauled boy to death was an illegal breed

They have confirmed it is a dog of "pitbull type", but the a.p.b.t name has not been mentioned.

mann why does this keep happening!?!?!?!?!

Irresponsible owners......

that is so sad to hear... :(
really unfortunate when things like this happen

I hate to hear about these things happening. Its so sad

This is an absolute tragedy and my thoughts go out to the family. The British media on the other hand will absolutely love this. Check out the 2007 BBC documentary Dog Fighting Undercover if you haven't already and be blown away by the anti pitbull bias.

BTW as far as I understand it, the UK's BSL includes Amstaffs and Irish Staffordshire Bull Terriers/Old Style Staffords under "pitbull types" and as such are banned breeds. Perhaps some UK members can correct me if I'm wrong.

This is terrible, tragic accident, poor little guy. And it's a shame for the family. But First, they shouldn't be relating the attack dog to a 'pit bull terrier' type with out confirming evidence & posting photos. Accidents happen, who's to say it wasn't some Ravid rabies bound sheep dog. Geese attack people over there, will geese soon to become illegal too? And what about native cannibals, I watched a documentary on them. They are still around in South America, you just can't ban a breed because a tragic accident happened. People die in car accidents every day, why haven't we banned cars yet?

I feel like that movie Equilibrium is slowly starting to happen, starting with our dogs.
