Baby killed in bed by a dog called 'killer'.

That's horrendous, RIP to that poor girl.

I've never seen a story like this where the dog has seemingly hunted someone. It's bloody spine chilling.
 
There is already a list of prohibited dogs in this country. Add a couple more breeeds to it, ban future sales and muzzle those who are already in existance.

How is that for a start?

I personally think if you've got a baby, you shouldn't have a dog like that as a pet. Just my opinion, I know there's a lot of dog lovers. But pitbulls (and maybe not just pitbulls - rottweilers too), no matter how docile, still have the capacity to turn in an instant. You always hear the same thing after things like this - 'He's never done anything like this before' - exactly. It's only happens once, and then it's too late. There is no warning with these animals. The risk having an animal like that living in the same home as a small baby or child would be too great a risk for me to take.

R.I.P. that little girl. What a tragic, horrible waste of a little baby's life.
 
I think if you have a baby or a young child then you shouldn't have any kind of dog which is considered dangerous, let alone illegally.

What do you gain from having a dog like that? Does it make you feel tough? Why not get a rottweiler (not that keen on them myself) or a Great Dane or something? Not some dog which is designed to hurt, what with their locking jaws too.
 
Shouldn't have a dog like that around a kid that age.

Find the dog a new home before you start planning for a baby. If the baby's not planned you've got 9 months. Simple.

RIP poor girl.
 

PBT's are some what unpredictable, even around humans which is why they are banned. They were bred first and foremost for aggression. What's worse is that Staffies then get lumped into the same pot because they look similar. When I was looking to buy our staffer 7 years ago I had to screen for people offering dogs that were clearly pit bull stock.

I agree.
Health visitors/ midwives should report these dogs when they visit a new baby at home.
 
Shocking beyond belief.

For the life of me I cannot understand why anyone keeps dangerous dogs, period. Let alone in a house with small children in it.

RIP.

nothing to do with the breed, its more of the TYPE OF PERSON, that is attracted to these breed of dogs. Ive owned Rottweilers, Boxers, bullmastiffs and Dogue De Bordaux's and none have been a problem. People are bitten by other breeds everyday but due to the size/strength of these dogs it goes unheard off.

Ban the scally's and chavs wanting a tough looking dog these crimes will go down, but problem is backyard breeding look how cheap staffy pups are, bred often with bad temperaments due to that.

What attracts you to own Rotties and bull mastiffs just out of interest then ?
Genuine question.
