A five-week-old boy was killed by the family's pet American Staffordshire terrier in the early hours of this morning at Kariong, west of Gosford.

Police attended the incident about 2:20am and performed CPR on the child.
Paramedics assisted a short time later, but the newborn could not be revived and died at the scene.

Superintendent Jobson said the dog had been involved in a separate incident about four weeks ago.
"A neighbouring dog apparently got into the rear yard and was mauled by this dog, unfortunately."

RIP

Would you let your newborn baby near a Retriever with 'bad' owners, or a Pitbull with 'good' ones?

American Staffordshire Terriers are similar to American Pit Bull Terriers, though the American Pit Bull Terrier is not recognized by the American Kennel Club.

Chihuahuas are more aggressive than pitbulls.
Blame the owners, not the breed.

Can we blame the owners for getting the breed?

It's a Staffy, not a pitbull. This is just another asshole who hates a breed for no reason.

They all fall under the pitbull umbrella - the American Pitbull Terrier, the American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier and Bully are all pitbull breeds

Even the most pissed off chihuahua in the world can't kill anyone. A pit bull can easily kill people

Pit bull isn't a breed, they're terriers.

I'm hearing a lot of stories about dogs killing babies recently. I guess don't own pets when you have babies.

According to the American Kennel Club, these dogs are "smart, confident, good-natured companions. Their courage is proverbial. A responsibly bred, well-socialized AmStaff is a loyal, trustworthy friend to the end."[2]

Yup, sound dangerous alright. Fuck off with all this fear mongering. All larger dogs are capable of hurting people if raised poorly or feral.

its not fear mongering. they were literally bred to be aggressive. the reality is its just their instinctual behavior if they are triggered, regardless of how it was raised. Just like you can domesticate a monkey, but it can and will still instinctively rip your face off if it gets triggered.

Wait, I'm curious how this went down. Did the pitbull just like walk into the baby's room and then just randomly kill it?

what are we supposed to say? Its a shame the baby died, but its important to discuss what led to it. If a baby dies because the parents refused to feed it should we just talk about the baby or discuss how the parents were terrible people and what punishments they deserve?

Maybe the baby was crying unattended and the pitbull just snapped from a lack of sleep. That could very well be the case. Otherwise, it's almost unthinkable to me that the creature would randomly kill a baby like that.

I'm more concerned about everyone rushing in to try and explain why this doesn't count as a pitbull kill count

They are basically the same breed. AST are bred to meet dog show requirements.

well i'd say that adds to it. if they were right we'd have to look at alternative issues...unfortunately they're all wrong.

Read your own source next time. Pit bull is not a breed. Pit bulls and Staffies originate from bull and terriers stock.

That's tragic. I love my pits, but that one needs to be put down unfortunately.

I do wonder what led to the attack though.

So Bull Terriers are pit bulls? What about Boston Terriers? They all come from the same stock?

I do know what he means and it's blatantly false. If you're going to argue something, be accurate, don't use your feelings as your facts.
