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.

Round up all the Pit Bulls, even Mr. 305 and release them on the southern side of the US Border.

Oh they'd be ****ing dead if that were my son. Someone had one of those bastards up at the golf course walking it yesterday and it wanted to attack anything that moved. They could barely control the thing. I was just waiting for it to get loose and come after me. It was about to get a hybrid smashed across its face.

It would probably keep going. I've seen too many videos where blunt force trauma does nothing to these dogs.

You have to penetrate it with something.

I honestly don't think ONE dog could kill me. But it could definitely scar and hurt me pretty bad.
