Alright I just found out that this young child got his leg all chewed up by a Pitt Bull. The child had a disease that made him unable to feel his legs. The Pitty was only a few months old, still in that chewing stage. So, one day the family left the two alone and the Pitty got bored and saw the child's leg. He bit it and no reaction. So he continued, still no reaction. So, he had no idea he was doing any harm to the child. Until the child stopped what he was doing and looked at his bloody, torn leg. Of course he started to scream and cry even though it didn't hurt. Then, the young Pitt Bull was put to sleep.

I was incredibly ticked off by this.The dog had no idea what he was doing. No one told him to stop. He should NOT have been put to sleep. What are your opinions? Please be respectful.

Shouldn't of put him down why would they leave him with a child?And the child should've been paying attention he can hear, so wouldn't he be able to stop the pup before it started?

That's the stupidest reason to put a dog down that I've never heard. Puppies will chew anything in sight if you allow them too, those idiots shouldn't own a dog if there going to put it down for something as pathetic as that. They shouldn't allow a disabled kid [or ANY kid for that matter] to be alone with a dog anyway..

Yes, the dog was dangerous. Once an animal gets a taste for eggs or human blood, you'll never be able to break them of it.

If the Pitt Bull was at a young age, then there was no right for the people to put the dog down. It was just a puppy. It's young and probably at a teething stage.

Yeah 45 years ago he'd be fine but someone had to go and ruin it for everyone by breeding them to fight

Yeah, put him down. Sorry, there's a difference between gnawing on something and chewing a child's leg to smithereens. It wasn't that child's fault any more than it was the dogs. Now this child has to go through life physically maimed. Too bad for him, right?

And come on, Emily, there has to be more to it than what you say. I'm sure the "Pitty" wasn't just bored and decided to chew some kid's leg off. No dog I've ever seen has ever tried to chew on a human being. There has to be some sort of circumstances that we're missing here. Are the parents crackheads? Were they teaching the dog to fight? There's got to be something missing here.


Yeah, put the dog down. But also, those people should be banned from owning pets in the future. Then all the problems are solved.

Kay, now I am very mad.

That.is.NOT.NOT.NOT.the dog's fault! No, he shouldn't been put down. He's only a PUPPY, and puppies chew. The poor thing didn't know what it was doing. Is that the pup's fault? The parents should know better than to leave a bored dog/puppy alone with a child! That is just STUPID.






The dog was NOT dangerous. The poor PUPPY didn't even know that it was doing wrong. And that is not true. -___-;

Actually this can be the case. This is one reason, if you live on a farm, you never give your farm dog eggs. The animal will acquire a taste for eggs and go after them in a coop. (I live on a farm, I know)

Since it was a puppy, I really doubt the punishment should have been so severe. How old was this child? The parents should have NEVER left them alone.

I mean. The never part. I wouldn't let my dogs taste blood or farm eggs, since it's risky that I might not be able to break them out of it, but I know a few people who broke their dogs out of it. That's what I ment.

ok I mis understood

The dog was a puppy and still had yet to be taught what and what not to chew. Once he bit into the kids leg he probably thought it tasted like some sort of meat and kept chewing it. Even if the kid can't feel anything in his legs, he could have still seen the dog chewing on him and told him to stop. I have a feeling that this isn't the full story..

I've seen lots and lots of news about pitt bull hurting people recently. Is it the pet's fault or the owner's maybe it's both

Okay. That really ticks me off to no end. That puppy should NOT have been put down! The poor thing didn't know it was doing anything wrong! Puppy's chew on things when they are young. It's what they DO. No one told it to stop, so it didn't. Gah... This is another great reason why I hate humans. >.>

Dumb people.. I hope karma bites them in the butt.
