Pitbull Kills 2-Year-Old Boy in California

Edited on Thu Jul-22-10 04:03 PM by RamboLiberal
A 2-year-old Concord, Calif. boy is dead after he was attacked by his family's pitbulls at home.

Police say the child walked into the garage where the three pitbulls are kept around 8:45 a.m. Thursday when the animals attacked.

The child was severely injured and later pronounced dead at a hospital. Police say two adult relatives and a young sibling were home at the time. The Contra Costa County Animal Services department is assisting in the investigation.

The child's death comes amid a recent series of pitbull attacks that have renewed calls to put restrictions on owning the breed, which was developed for fighting.

One person was killed and three others hurt in a pit bull attack in Memphis, CBS affiliate WREG reported Tuesday.

I've watched too much Dog Whisperer to condemn the breed those as Cesar says these are a gladiator breed. Unfortunately I do think we have some fools for owners who want these dogs for fighting & macho image & the innocent pay.
