?It was an absolutely grisly mauling,? he said, according to WTVR. ?In my 40 years of law enforcement I've never seen anything quite like it. I hope I never see anything like it again.?


It took eight hours for deputies to collect over 60 pieces of evidence spread across the bloodied scene, including pieces of clothing, Richmond.com reported. And according to WIRC, it also took some time for animal control to tranquilize the two pit bulls, who weighed between 100 and 120 pounds.

For reference, Agnew said Stephens is ?petite? and weighed around 125 pounds. She had injuries to her throat and her face ? and her skull had puncture wounds, according to




Of course FDC and the like will tell you this poor girl was just a bad owner:0074

On the course!
These dogs aren't usually in a good environment when they do this. Thug assholes think they are a status symbol, or necessity in their shit part of the world.

Investigators discovered that the dogs belonged to Johnny Dale Lankford, who was being held in the Bell County Detention Center on charges of second-degree assault, domestic violence and second-degree unlawful imprisonment from December 22.

I have a few friends who own Pitt Bulls & they have no problem with them....& some of them have children & grand-children....

Like humans, dogs are the product of their environment....

And as the above blurb suggests, the Pitt Bull in question came from an environment where it's owner is an absolute thug!!

We are thinking of getting a dog in the near future & a Pitt Bull is on our list of candidates....

Why? I'm not looking to argue, I'm genuinely curious as to why people think the way they do regarding Pit Bulls. You said yourself they are a product of their environment, but more people own St Bernards and you don't hear about them mauling people on a regular basis.

Over 75 breeds are more owned in the US than Pit Bulls including German Shepherds (2nd most owned breed) and you just don't hear about them mauling people as often as Pit Bulls. Why do people continue to make excuses for this breed that aren't backed up by the numbers.

I mean, it's an odd coincidence that Pit Bulls keep getting bad owners, isn't it?

If Pit Bull is on your list of "candidates" then that means you are considering others, so why not go a safer route for the sake of everyone in your family as well as your neighbors/visitors?

I don't understand the thought process on this one.

70% of dog bite fatalities in 2016 were from Pit Bulls. From year to year that number doesn't change much.

Don't you think it odd that year after year that breed just can't get a break and continues to get poor owners while other breeds, much more highly owned giving them a much larger pool of owners to get a sample from, only account for 30% of the fatalities.

At some point the math does make sense and coincidences no longer apply.

I don't know enough about dogs to get in a discussion about it so I won't....

When the time comes for us to get a dog we will speak to a friend who is a Vet....

My wife wants a German Shepard & we have close friends who own a white German Shepard so that is probably what we will get....

I've had a pitbull with an old roommate about 5 years ago. That dog was the most calm and loving thing ever. Treat a pet good, raise it right, and that's what you get. I've been around many different pitbulls and some were friends who raised them to be aggressive. The only ones that were ever sketchy were pitbulls that were raised to be aggressive.

Well it's just not a genetic thing. There isn't an allele floating around in dogs that a scientist can point to and say that's the aggressive gene. There isn't a submissive gene, or a "great at fetch" gene, or a "goes nuts for a ball" gene. There isn't.
It doesn't matter though, some people will always be scared of them because they have a genetic disposition to be scared of them.

Like Gibbet is.

No they will be afraid of them because of the "coincidence" that 77% of mauling deaths happen by Pit Bulls.

77%, and we are supposed to think it isn't the breed? That's just being in denial.
