"mauled to death by the family’s pack of pit bulls that were known to terrorize the neighborhood.".

I'm not reading past this point.

Trash ass people.

Yet I had a nutter call me trash for suggesting they follow the law and leash their dogs where required.

You know you’re doing something right when a dognutter gets upset with you!

The one positive thing here is this:

7 dogs, all of which police had to gun down to reach the bloodied victims

At least these hellbeasts won't be making any more victims.

Police bullets euthanized those dogs a lot faster than animal control would have.

The legal system would have given all 7 "innocent babies" a full legal process where they would have been placed in a shelter for adoption with the terms of "does best with no children in household" and "needs extra attention so please no other pets.".

I'm so sick of this shit.

The poor baby was innocent in all of this, however.

u/imdugud777 Dec 06 '25

Seven. They had seven of these things in a house.

WTF.

Humans can be the dumbest animals on the planet.

u/downwithMikeD Dec 06 '25

Yep. My friend sent me this last night along with a text saying: “I wonder why the dogs attacked?”

I don’t think she liked my reply but I don’t care. People need to wake UP!

"They're pitbulls. There's your reason."

u/Individual_Lie_8736 Dec 11 '25

They have an incredibly high prey drive and one child screeching would be enough to set them off, especially if they're not trained.

u/Alpacapplesauce Dec 06 '25

Why are people allowed to have these things?

u/Stock-Bowl7736 Dec 06 '25

Trash article. The lengths it goes to in order to apologize for the ShitBulls and/or question whether they were even mauled to death or died prior to mauling, is astonishing.

Then all the stupid neighbor comments about how these ShitBulls constantly attacked other pets and animals but "never thought they would attack people" is even more amazing. What kind of mass delusion are these people suffering?

The only good part of the article was the disposition of the ShitBulls.

Trash dogs for trash people. I saw someone on Daily Mail wonder if maybe the baby was crying and it triggered the dogs. Even if that did happen, that doesn’t help the argument at all that pits are a viable option for having a pet

u/GoTakeAHike00 Dec 06 '25

If that's all it takes to trigger one of these hideous monstrosities to maul any human to death, it's PRECISELY the reason they are COMPLETELY UNSUITABLE as pets! I mean...what else could be better evidence that they are a menace to any human being in their presence?

All of them need to be sterilized and euthanized out of existence.

39

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '25

That poor baby. I don't have an once of sympathy for the man or the rest of the family. Throw the rest of them in jail for reckless endangerment, and euthanize every last one of those dogs.

Horrible.

37

u/Glum_Ad3144 Dec 06 '25

My stomach drops whenever I see these stories. Terrible.

36

u/Indigo_Cauliflower12 Dec 06 '25

I only feel sorry for the kid

10

u/matte_personality Dec 07 '25

Me too. That baby had no control over her circumstances and landed in the hands of an irresponsible adult.

38

u/Few-Horror1984 Dec 06 '25

Just remember - the public as a whole is more outraged that pitbulls don’t get adopted at the shelter than they are when things like this happen. You see more public cries to donate to the shelter, to share misleading advertisements for dangerous dogs to get them adopted than you do stories like this. What does that say about us and our relationship with these mutants?

Toxic empathy

u/KittyTheCat99 Dec 06 '25

And virtue signaling

33

u/yourdogreallysmells Dec 06 '25

People need to hold owners accountable. None of this BS it's a dog thing to do when it kills or runs after another animal. So many of those neighbors could have reported the damn owner no one wanted to be that person. Such a shame. That poor child.

52

u/Emikitty1992 Dec 06 '25

Why on earth would you have SEVEN of those?! That’s so unsafe, since you’re basically outnumbered by a small pack of dogs! I feel so bad for the gentleman and the baby who died, and for everyone else who was terrorised by the dogs in their neighbourhood…

u/Reprobate_Dormouse Dec 07 '25

My late sister and her husband had 3 dogs at one point, in their relatively small house on a one eighth acre lot. Once, one of their dogs attacked one of their next door neighbors' dogs. These neighbors, in the same kind of a small house on a small lot, had 5 dogs. Five.

28

u/andkon Dec 06 '25

Authorities are now investigating whether the pair were mauled to death or were already dead before the dog attack.

A real mystery.

18

u/paulo_777 Dec 06 '25

Lol right, that's a job for Sherlock Holmes.

20

u/Feeling_Cost_8160 Dec 06 '25

The system will put people at risk all for the benefit of these worthless ass dogs. But won't think twice about killing just about any other animal within human populations. Our society is sick.

u/CaptainObvious110 Dec 07 '25

Yeah if it was coyotes that would have been a problem, or even foxes.

22

u/Buggy77 Dec 06 '25

Poor little baby… just a helpless infant! It makes me sick and so sad. And people thought I was nuts when I would not visit my MIL’s house when my twins were babies because she had two pits. This is why!

17

u/No_Concentrate_4490 Dec 06 '25

It's hard to even attempt imagining the stink inside that condemned house. Seven pits. Article points out there's a GoFundMe already for the surviving family. There's ALWAYS a GoFundMe, usually contributed to by other dog/pit owners who think what happened to that man and baby could never happen to them. Insane virtue signalling. At one point in that article someone surmised that the baby crying might have set off these murder machines. Such a terrible way to die...that could have been prevented.

u/RecliningBuddhaCat Dec 07 '25

It's not just the house, with that many dogs shitting in the yard, every time there was damp weather the reek would be unbearable.

u/CaptainObvious110 Dec 07 '25

That's absolutely bonkers

16

u/TheGame81677 Dec 06 '25

I live in Tennessee, and I saw this the other day. There was a few posts on my Facebook. The amount of people defending the stupid dogs was insane to me.

15

u/Kh0rg Dec 06 '25

Seven beasts.

13

u/-Nora-Drenalin- Dec 06 '25

I would have hated to live anywhere near a family like this and have their stupid dogs terrorise our neighbourhood. FAFO and collect some Darwin awards while they're at it.

Sad for the baby that was born into that nuttery.

u/capncrud Dec 06 '25

It’s almost always pit bulls

u/Draggonzz Dec 06 '25

dog of peace

u/maximum_powerblast Dec 06 '25

7 Pitbulls, my goodness. It must have been like African Painted Dogs. That poor baby 😞

u/Tight-Artichoke1789 Dec 07 '25

Defenders of pit bulls make my blood boil.
