Pittbulls kill 2 year old and 5 month old

[TripleThreat]

Two young children are dead and their mother suffered major injuries after two family dogs attacked a baby and toddler outside their West Tennessee home.Kirstie Bennard, 30, suffered critical injuries when she tried to intervene in the attack on her 5-month-old boy, Hollace Dean, and 2-year-old girl, Lilly Jane, family and police said.

"She put her body on top of Lilly’s to try and protect her after the attack started," Bennard's uncle by marriage, Jeff Gibson told USA TODAY on Saturday. "Both (dogs) started attacking her while she lay on Lilly."The two children were pronounced dead when officials arrived at the home, the sheriff's office reported.

It was not immediately known what provoked the mauling.The mauling, Gibson said, lasted about 10 minutes.The dogs – two pit bulls that belonged to the family – were euthanized at Memphis Animal Services Thursday.

The family owned the pets, Cheech and Mia, for more than eight years without a violent incident, Kelsey Canfield, the mother's best friend, told Fox News.

"I can promise you those children were her world, and if there was any inkling of danger, she would have never had those dogs near her kids," Canfield told the outlet. "Those children were everything to them, and they just have a really long journey ahead."

How do you feel about PittBull's? I posted this because my wife shared this story with me and my son was just recently participating in a "read to sheltered dogs" event where you could adopt a dog (I know brilliant).

I've heard the arguments that PittBull's get a bad wrap, but it seems time and time again they are the focal point of dogs who do these horrible acts.

As i approached the left side ohd of a 2 car garage (the right side was closed) a rot walked out of the garage. This sob had a head bigger than mine and if you've ever seen my head you've gone "damn, you got a big head". Anyway...i didn't even break stride. I walked past the dog and even turned around and snapped my fingers and called for it to come. Knocked on the door and the lady that answered looked past me at the dog and her eyes got real big. She walked straight past me without saying a word, grabbed the dog by the collar and walked it over to a chain link dog house that they had made between the two garage doors. Then she turned around and said, how did you get by the dog?

I just told her that i have plently of experience with animals and i've been doing stuff like that my whole life.

No bites, no growls, no drool. Just a confused look. From the dog, not her.

Dog smelled Bengal juice on you and decided your life was shitty enough without him taking a bite out of your ass. That wasn't a confused look it gave you, that was sympathy.

To be fair, space aliens abduct people for their vital organs and intelligence.

And I HAVE a big nasty dog. It's just the pits I have an issue with.

I grew up with a doberman FFS. Dude was a sweetie. Pits are evil.

I grew up with a doberman too, great dog. A lot of bark and no bite, which is what you want. Scared many people away that drove up to the house for whatever reason. Had two doberman's actually, sisters. But they chased our horses once and the horse killed one of them

They don't get a bad rap. Some animals are bred to be violent and Pitbulls are one of them. People purposely breed them and rottweilers and some other dog breeds TO fight and attack and be violent. Honestly I think they need to be driven into extinction. They shouldn't be around humans.
