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.

When I was in the Army we would play a lot of card/board game time wasters but there was one sergeant we learned the hard way not to play Risk with. Because when he would start losing, and he sucked at playing Risk so I do mean when not if, he would grab the edge of the board then flip it over and yell "NUKE! No one wins."

That’s pretty brilliant. I wish I had thought of that in 1983 when my roommates wanted to play Risk before heading to the bar at 11pm.

Calling in a battleship strike on an enemy position is a cool thing to have on your resume.

My father in law saw a helicopter once, and danged if a bunch of explosions didn't start occurring around him. He thought it odd.

These infant shredders should be shoot on sight, regardless if they're "under control" (no such thing unless they're caged or dead) or not.

My congratulations go to the Met Police for disposing of this beast.

I don't want to scare all you pussies but I just bought a new bulldog today out of the UK. Won't get her for 21 days. I guess I gotta turn in my man card.

Holy shit the cops are allowed to fire a gun over there? I imagine every British person that saw and heard the shots instantly wept and turned in their butter knives and tv remotes to feel safer.

I saw the Iowa fire her 16" guns once. Six years in the Navy, that was the absolute coolest thing I ever saw, and only a couple of others even come close. There were so many things I experienced back then that I didn't appreciate at the time. That was definitely NOT one of them.

Toured the Iowa 4 years go.

The thickness of armor inside the command area was insane.

Do you get any indication of where the shells are going? Is there any kind of smoke trail or contrails or anything? Or do you just see it fire and then 5 minutes later you see the coast blow up?

Be thankful you aren't mine. If you had one of these horrible mutts I would look for any excuse to euthanise it and not face any legal consequences.

Woble needs to be euthanized it sounds like. BTW, too bad the dog in the OP didn't chew off his dads hair. That is aweful.

Here's a picture of Kelce from the breeder. Clay, how could you be scared of such an innocent face?
