Family pit bull mauls 18 month old toddler, causing brain damage and later death after a few days in the ICU.

The pit bull is currently in municipal custody where they will determine whether it will be put down, reintegrated into the family, or given up for adoption.

On Friday, February 16, a pit bull dog attacked a one and a half year old child who was inside his house trying to defend another pet in Arjona (Bolvar). The first versions indicate that the aggressor dog belonged to the owners of the house and for that reason it was without a muzzle.

After the attack, the child was transferred to the Napolen Franco Pareja Hospital, where he arrived with injuries to his neck and other vital parts that caused brain damage and later his death.

For his part, the director of the Casa del Nio recommended that the community be careful with these types of breeds classified as dangerous, which could cause incidents like the one that occurred in Arjona.

We want to make some very specific recommendations to the community of Cartagena and Bolvar, it has to do with the care of these dogs, which are so aggressive, like the pit bull breed, for example; these dogs must have muzzles; In the house, if there is still no control over the dog, there are children, babies and there are other animals, they should also be in the same way, why? because they are very, very aggressive animals and every day we have more cases of attacks by these dogs on different people with fatal outcomes, said the doctor.

Is having a child and pit bull in the same household a safe decision?

I saw countless pitbull attacks against kids in my clinical years

Almost (not quite) every single one of them--Owner said dog had never done "anything" before.

People don't realize killing machines don't kill...until they do. You can have that dog 2 days, 2 months, 2 years or more and one day it'll just rip some kid's face off.

Or, maybe it won't. Either way the animal is banned in my household and my kids will never have one.

Not until we as a society decide to stop breeding them.

So when do pit bulls start being registered as dangerous weapons?

Never. I'd even go as far to say that a pit bull is similar to domesticating a lion or other wild cat.

Were most of them family-owned pit bulls?

Pit bulls need to be banned as pets tbh... Akin to wild predatory animals, since that's what they are: predatory animals.

If you really need a dog for protection, get a German Sheppard, a Collie, even a Labrador.

These are dogs that can chase off an adult, but also known for obedience and kindness to their human family.

Whenever I see "dog bite" in the ER triage notes at work, I always wonder what kind of dog it is. Sometimes the nurses will straight up add "pit bull" in parentheses as if to shame it.

What percentage is dangerous? Last I looked, it seemed to be sub-1%. If your threshold for banning something is that low, we'd have literally nothing.

Yes. "random dog attacks" are much, much less common than the dog the child is around 90% of the time.

I don't have actual statistics. I only have my own personal experience with dog bites. Maybe what I see is more or less common. Whatever it is, it's always sad, especially when a child is involved.

You will them post a story about a pitbull who saved its family from a fire on this board (Yes it happened) because such a story doesn't fit the narrative they want to push.

Trying to demonize a classification of dogs based on the actions of a few of them is no different then when racists do the same thing with human races they don't like. Yet I'm sure none of the "Pitt bulls are always violent" people believe that about any race of man.

There were 73 lethal dog attacks in the 2023 and yes most of them 57 were by pitts. However 89.7 million dogs in the US and 4.5 million pitts. So even though they are more violent then other breeds, which I never once denied its still unfair to demonize millions of dogs for what less then one percent of them have done.

Which should scare you since 4chan already takes the next step and applies that to human racism as well.

Where did you look? Because its extremely unlikely that all the countries with pit bull bans and restrictions did so on a whim.
