Pit Bull Fun!
A pit bull has attacked a seven year old girl in Oregon. Are you surprised? Why would you ever be? A pit bull is as close to a ‘wild’ animal as a domesticated pet can ever be.
Here are some details:
The girl was playing on a tire swing when she was attacked by a 90-pound pit bull.
Her father was inside when he heard his daughter screaming and ran out to find the pit bull clamped on to her leg, pulling her off the swing.
He pried open the jaws of the dog with his hands and got it off of her.
He put the dog in a headlock and eventually pinned it to the ground, but he was bitten on the leg and in the chest. The father, a Staff Sergeant with the Oregon National Guard who served one tour of duty in Iraq and one in Afghanistan, dislocated his shoulder during the struggle and was bitten on his hands, chest, legs and arms.
As he struggled to hold the pit bull down, two other men took turns trying to subdue and kill the animal using an aluminum bat.
The two men with a metal baseball bat were not enough to stop the dog, or even chase it off. Eventually a deputy arrived to shoot and kill the dog.
I wouldn’t keep a lion in my home, no matter how cute & friendly it was as a cub. Good Lord, even Siegfried (or was it Roy?) was mauled by his own ‘pet’ lion.
Well, a pit bull is the next best thing to a lion, just a bit smaller.
I won’t bore you with the whole litany against this animal….bred to kill, unrelenting, blah, blah, blah… Just suffice it to say, pit bulls should never be allowed where innocent humans might wander by.
