Holy crap, all of those stories are dated within the last couple of days.
MikeQ:
I'm sure tommy is familiar with the Clifton dog bite report. It actually proves that statistically Pit Bulls and Rottweilers have a much higher propensity to attack and a far higher likelyhood to kill their victim.
It also covers that owner/training issue. Most attacks were not in character with animal normal behavior and are almost always on a family member. The attacks are often by dogs who have never shown aggression and lived with a caring family for many years.
I read up on this matter when my municipality was challenging a state statute the prohibits banning of certain breeds. It is how I learned about the current legislation that is being drafted to reverse Statute 767.14 and allowing the banning of certain breeds.
Anyway, I didn't mean for my post to derail this thread into a "Pitbulls are a spawn of the devil". I was simply posting to show Sharidan that while this incident was unfortunate, it could have ended in an even more unfortunate situation. No dogs life is worth more than a child's.

Yes, I agree. In the wrong hands a gun can be very dangerous.
MikeQ:
Well, the report disputes that. It shows that even responsibly owned pit bulls just "snap". One of the real issues here is that the breed is a well designed killing machine. They can kill very effectively. When a Labrador has a bad day and bites you, you get a puncture wound in your hand. When a pit bull has a bad day, they instinctively go for the face or throat. If your lucky you live.
Sometimes they do worse:
