Another child dead after mauling by a pit bull terrier

[chrishansenhome]

There's been another death at the jaws of a pet pit bull here in the UK. The BBC story has a link to St. Helens council's webpage (the place where the incident happened).

Yeah, I see a lot of pits in the projects. Oh, it just infuriates me to no end. What on earth are people thinking, with the dogfights and the keeping and cultivating violent dogs?

So what are the four breeds? Rottweilers, Pit bulls, Dobermans, and ???

My favorite are people who say they have American Bull Terriers. Right.

Go to http://www.defra.gov.uk/animalh/welfare/domestic/dogs.htm for more details. I've not heard of the other breeds but there are lots of details for the canophiles among us.

That is a very interesting piece of legislation. Those breeds are completely outside of my knowledge. We had some obscure African breed kill a nice gay lady here a few years ago. Sheesh. (The owners went to prison, hah.)

I can at least be sure that Penny Lane is probably not going to kill anyone, though despite my great efforts, her manners are not what I would like.
