Parenting Forums - View Single Post - I recently read an article about some pit bulls killing a child.

I guess what I would really like to say is that I read about this happening more than I should and something should be done. I don't have the answer but it should probably be given more attention and I do agree that it has to start with parental responsibility.

If I were a pit bull owner or the owner of a dog that was deemed vicious based on breed then I probably would take up the banner to put an end to this problem.

I have however chosen a dog from a rescue center because of the fact that he has a docile temperament. He doesn't work as head of security he is just a couch buddy. It works for us and him. Even so my children aren't left alone with him or at all for longer then it takes me to pee. I usually find that he is oblivious to the fact that I even got off the couch.

Anyway I hope that this tragedy never happens again but I fear it wont be long before some unlucky child is mauled or even killed by another pit. Regardless of who's fault it is it just should not happen. Then people will say that pits are the sweetest dogs ever and others will say that they should all be euthanized. I don't believe in either statement. It's just sad all the way around.
