Hopefully it already happened. That should be one dead dog by now.

Any word as to what happened to the dog?

Annoy a Liberal, Read the Constitution

The City of Denver, Colorado has banned Pit Bull ownership. Other cities to follow.......

There have been a lot of defenders of pit bulls. The percentage of attacks by them breedwise on a percentage basis. Is undisputable. They are not a majority breed but inflict most of the damage. All dogs can bite.

I am highly aware of the temperament of my dogs. I test them frequently. Certain breeds I just will not own and they are just not pit bulls.

No offence to any potentially dangerous dog owners as there are many breeds that are. Their dogs seem to be kind and gentle and still sometimes turn at a moments notice.

It is too late then to discover your mistake. They never considered genetics perhaps. Delayed genetic behavioral effects are common in the animal kingdom as they are with humans.

Most owners after a serious attack claim their animals were gentle and the attack shocked them. In most these claims I believe the owners statement. Only problem is the damage is done.

I'd probably take it out on the owner. No excuse for keeping a dangerous, poorly trained dog around.

I have my suspicions on the story. I want to wait and see what comes out. Right now KFC is falling all over themselves giving this family a ton of money, and what proof do we actually have that anyone said that to the kid?

Reminds me of the waitress and the lie that happened recently.

Agree that pits are a tricky breed. Most owners I encounter have never even heard of a break stick or ammonia capsules. In the last 12 months a woman in CT had an arm torn off by her son's pit bull.

I read that the grandfather shot the two dogs with a shotgun too, and that the third was put down.

For some reason, I don't necessarily doubt the story. It's sad, but it's not beyond the realm of possibility someone actually said that.

"You know, times are changing. Ladies can do stuff now and you're going to have to learn how to deal with it."
"What? Were you saying something? Look, I don't speak Spanish."

Pit bull breeders have confessed to interbreeding i.e., breeding father to daughter and mother to son. This makes for an unstable, unpredictable animal. I know of a case involving a woman who lived next door to a pit bull owner; she had a seven year history with the dog, no problems at all. One summer the owner took a vacation and asked his neighbor to feed and water his dog.

She agreed, days one through three, she put the food down, pet the dog, the dog wagged his tail, ate the dog food, no problems. Day four she put the food down, pat the dog, dog wagged it's tail. She turned to walk away and go back to her home. She said she got about ten steps and then heard the dog coming for her. The attack came from her rear. When I saw her she had over 120 stitches in her leg from the attack. The doctors at the ER told her she was lucky she hadn't been killed by the vicious pit bull attack.

I dunno, I'm on the fence about whether the story is true or not. The grandparents are on probation AFAIC. Bringing a child that size around 10 pit bulls. Just whack.

It's a tough one. It's a stretch that the grandmother would make up such a tale but I have a hard time believing that people are going to complain about scars/wounds on a child's face. I'm hoping for the girl's sake that it's true. Would be a shame for a scandal to come out on this.

thats exactly where i am. i look at that poor kid and i feel terrible for her, as she was obviously terribly injured.
i dont feel revulsion or disgust, and her injuries are severe, but ive dealt with people on a daily basis that are just naturally uglier than that wound. the story would seem to imply that enough people in the kfc were disgusted that an employee asked them to leave, and i feel like thats unlikely.

we are talking kfc here, they are gonna feed some dude with urine running down his leg and no teeth, but they are gonna ask this poor little kid to leave? i dont buy it. i buy it didnt happen, or the family was asked to leave for some other reason

People can be really insensitive. Compound that with the level of some people working fast food outlets and things are possible. As a general rule they do not employ rocket scientists. It may have just been a kid. Of course the situation may have been well embellished too as that's what the media does.

The only thing I can think of is with the childs inability to eat normally. That portion may have been quite a spectacle if she got to that stage. With all kinds of abnormal noises etc. Asked to leave based only on appearances is wrong of course. Becoming cognizant of her appearance because of the event if it occured worried me from an authenticity perspective. Logically at her age this did not add up to me and sounds like something generated by the parent or media.

Then in litigation heaven being the United States. If it did not happen you would thing KFC would be really on to someone. They would rightly see it as an attack on them.
