That is awful. Who is responsible for those animals? Maybe they should replace the horse, and the vet care, food, etc for the year. I am sorry about the horse, but thank goodness the dad was okay.

Pit bulls are nasty, nasty animals. That breed should be wiped off the earth.

Whaaaat?

Pitbulls are awesome dogs in the right hands. I have been around many of theses animals and there temperament is always great.

All I'm saying is that you don't hear stories of golden retrievers randomly attacking little kids. Though, I suppose you are right about the actual raising of pit bulls.

A lack of media coverage of dogs other than pit bulls attacking people doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Heck, it's not too hard to find stories where the animal was CALLED a pit bull even when it clearly was not!

There have been many dog breeds that have maimed or killed people and animals, you just dont hear about them as much. These include, Rottweilers, German Sheppards, Dobermans, Chows, Akitas and even Retrievers. Its all in how they are raised, I have a female Pit Bull that we raised from a puppy and is the nicest dog you will ever see. I am more of a cat person and she even gets along with them. I feel bad for this little boy, as his wish has been crushed. I think maybe Michael Vick should throw in some bucks toward making this lil guys wish come true. I will donate some myself, hope some of the people that read this will too.

Don't forget Dalmations. A TERRIBLE dog for children (as we found out too late).

A friend of my father's was killed by his two rots and one german shep. Ate 'im. *chomp*

Of course he beat them and trained them to be attack dogs. ...

yeah. just not a good idea in general.

(super nasty scary post pic btw)

Isn't that surprising, when you consider that Pit Bulls scored slightly higher in temperament tests last year than Goldens? The Pit Bull scored 84.1%, and the Golden Retriever scored 83.8%.

What a tragic story for that family. I hope someone can get them another mini horse, and the owner of the dogs is held accountable.

I used to work for one of the largest insurerers of homes in the nation and they had very strict rules on even insuring homes with certain dogs. For example no Rottweilers or Pit Bulls and you can have only one Doberman Pincer, German Shepherd, or Chow. They have a large risk of attacking children. Your home was unisurable with these risks.

Well, that's interesting.

I just wanted to contradict the post pic of the vicious deathbeast with this:







That would be my pit bull, Kenya, who most certainly does not deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth. Now, I will be honest: if she were to be set free without supervision, a few neighborhood cats might find themselves in minor peril...but that's why we keep her inside at all times or keep an eye on her when she's in the yard. The fault of the pit breed lies almost entirely within negligent owners who want a big scury dog but aren't responsible enough to train and care for them. Those are the creatures that deserve to be wiped off the face of the earth.

I fixed your tags for you. Your picture now works.

Upvote this, people. This is a good comment. I approve.

Thank you...I gave up due to my slow internet connection and attention deficit disorder.

Thank you sir, I approve of your approval.
