Five-week-old baby killed by staffy after the dog snatched boy from his mother's arms
A mother who woke to find her five-week-old son had been snatched from her arms and killed by the family's American Staffordshire terrier cried out to her husband: 'The dog's got the baby.'

Disgusting. Yet, according to some in here, I’m the immoral one … f**king outrageous
The dog had been microchipped and registered as an American Staffordshire terrier but the court heard there were suggestions it was at least part American pit bull.
In June 2021, five weeks before the infant boy was killed, the dog was responsible for the death of a cocker spaniel on a neighouring property.
There were no witnesses to that incident but Dr Kell said a ranger who responded to the attack suspected the staffy had pulled the cocker spaniel through a hole in a fence and killed it in the backyard.
The ranger also believed the staffy might have been a pit bull, or pit bull-cross, based on its yellow eyes, liver-coloured nose and white tips on its paws.
I googled the first five words of this post and this was the shocking first result. From the AKC:A staffy is a pitbull from what I've read
Of course you're not . . . because you know full well it's true. Guns aren't the problem.This is the same mental gymnastics as guns don t kill people. Not really interested in that conversation.
And what are these breed-neutral laws? They'll put your dog down after it crushes the neighbour kid's skull? Very effective, no doubt.I didn't realize so many US states had already banned BSL statewide. Even the ones that haven't yet have repealed it in many different counties & cities. These antiquated laws have been replaced by breed neutral laws. Dangerous dog laws generally continue to exist they just don't single out specific breeds anymore. According to the ASPCA these are already working.
BSL Continues to Crumble
So you're not even familiar with them and you're already judging their efficacy? Did you not read what the ASPCA, Humane Society, CDC, White House (Obama Administration), Department of Transportation (DOT), American Bar Association (ABA), American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), et al. said? The antiquated breed specific laws of the past were not effective. Hence them being repealed and replaced by more modern laws actually backed by science and not speculation and junk science. Research them.And what are these breed-neutral laws? They'll put your dog down after it crushes the neighbour kid's skull? Very effective, no doubt.
How many babies has a pit bull that age eaten you reckon?I didn't realize so many US states had already banned BSL statewide.

I'm not biting on this. No pun intended.How many babies has a pit bull that age eaten you reckon?
Well playedI'm not biting on this. No pun intended.
I don't need to research them. I'm not the one asserting they're effective*. You are. Let's see some proof of that, hm?So you're not even familiar with them and you're already judging their efficacy?

Dog attack: Woman's arm severed, says pet 'went berserk'
"I couldn’t get him off of me. He just was on me."www.fox6now.com
This woman's Cane Corso chewed her arm off while she was changing the battery on the smoke detector. Apparently the chirping noise set the dog off.
I'm not really where I stand on the issue of banning pits and for I'm getting the breed die out. That's a pretty drastic move to implement, IMO. Though if pit enthusiasts would at least be willing to acknowledge that breeds commonly referred to as "pits" are overrepresented in maulings\deaths, that might at least allow real dialogue on the issue.
Guns are more functional than pit bulls. You can't be this dumb.What a weird superstition. This is the same Kantian mindset that says we should ban guns because they are bad. Way to rationalize your way to stupidity.
