Pregnant woman killed by one of her pitbulls

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A pregnant San Francisco area woman was killed by one of her pit bulls,
her mauled body found by her husband, police said on Friday.

The 32-year-old woman was pronounced dead on Thursday afternoon at the couple's home in the
seaside village of Pacifica, south of San Francisco, Pacifica Police Capt. Dave Bertini said. Authorities
withheld the names of the victim and her husband.Bertini said the woman's husband told police he
came home from work at around noon on Thursday to find one of the couple's pit bulls standing,
bloodied, over his wife's mauled body.

First responders to the scene found the woman unresponsive in a front room of the home with
massive trauma to her upper body, Bertini said.A second pit bull was found cowering in the corner.
Bertini said the man told authorities that the attacking dog, a two-year-old male named Gunner,
was confined in a back room. But when the dog managed to escape and enter the front yard,
officers shot it three times, Bertini said. Both pets were taken to Peninsula Humane Society,
which performs animal control services for San Mateo County under contract.

The society's spokesperson Scott Delucchi said a necropsy scheduled for Friday would seek to
retrieve the bullets as well as examine stomach contents and tissue samples to establish whether
the dog was correctly implicated in the attack. Tissue samples will be taken from the second dog
to determine if it could be returned to the victim's husband.

"This person has lost everything; this dog is all he has left," Delucchi said. "Right now we are
assuming that one dog was involved and one was not. We investigate hundreds of dog attacks
every year but I've never seen anything like this in 13 years," Delucchi said.

I just figured I'd post this because this is so rare and can you believe that a pitbull did this! I'm shocked!


There are several things we can take from this:

This breed (and a few others) is unpredictable
The owners of this breed generally tend to be abusive people.
The owners of this breed generally are stupid people.
Both the dog and the owner are generally aggressive



Most people won't read this story because it happens every fucking week nowadays. The good thing about this is if it is the owners who are abusive we are losing them on a regular basis.

Pitbulls have always been the dog of choice for people who would otherwise never own a dog. They're great for guarding meth labs; drug dens; etc. Also great for tearing each other to bits for brothas to bet on.

actually there shite guard dogs in general, most would make friends with the local burglar if he offered a pat. they just look the part and have an extremely high prey drive. meaning they love to fight and hunt.
and that has nothing to do with human aggression.
it's like taking a baby at birth from an aristocratic family and letting the local crips gang raise him. there will be blood!
there are not too many better companion dogs than a well bred top bloodline apbt.
i prefer staffordshires myself.

I respect all breeds of dogs but would never own a dog that has been breed for fighting, especially with children around.

These dogs should be running free on the plains of Africa in the wild where they belong.

Are you 'for real?' There are countless incidents involving pitbull attacks...some fatal...this isn't news anymore...unfortunately...

I'm sure most are mate but I would never take a chance even if I had the dog from a small puppy.

I had to get rid of an aggressive golden retriever that kept on biting people and they must be (normally) the best family friendly dog on the planet.

These other dogs are breed to kill and they are good at it.

Agreed...i have had staffs for most of my life and you want get any better dogs with kids..did have a Pitbull here in Thailand couldn't do nothing with him fcking killing machine if he seen any other dog he would want to fight it ..some blame the owner and not the dog..i did not bring this pitbull up any different than all my other dogs..think they all have a nasty streak in them and when some one pulls there trigger you can look out..!!!

My parents have had a couple of English Bulls, and more friendly (with humans) dog you couldn't wish for.
Problem with Pitbulls seems to be that there is no pedigree requirement (?), and they are a dog that just seems to appeal to the criminal type.

Got it, SS...

^ I had to read it twice

All these pit bulls should have been wiped out by now, weren't they banned in the US as well as the UK ?

Any dog has the potential to be nasty, if its been abused,

pit bulls are naturally vicious, with something sinister inside

I agree about staffordshire and english bull terriers being good with kids, but I wouldnt go out and buy one if I had a baby in the house, and vice versa, they can get jealous of the baby getting all the attention

When you overbreed and interbreed something too much they go nuts, just look at Welsh people

No brothers here.

My female pug even gets all "Itchar" when my wife dots on my young daughter.

Not that she could bite anyone, probably have a heart attack doing so but she does get jealous and makes everyone aware of the fact.

There is an American program, "the dog whisperer" that should be compulsory viewing for dog owners. Despite its some what "over" classic american style, it is pretty much spot on. In almost every single case, it is the owner whose behaviour is leading to the dogs misbehaviour. One of the take home messages is that dogs should NEVER be dominant in a household - and this especially concerns kids. Even kids need to be seen by the dog as a "pack leader".

To many people "humanize" their dogs. They are not 'small human", but animals that largely go by instinct. In any "pack" -and this means in any setting such as a family - there must be a leader (or leaders) and if there are not - watch out - because the dog WILL take that role.

If your dog is constantly biting people, it means that the dog does not see you as the leader, and as you are not providing protection for the pack - it does.

If your dog is constantly biting people, and it is not a guard dog doing its job, then put the fucker down.

.

very true especially in the case of strong willed dogs like bull terriers and pitbulls.
they need a strong hand or they will take over.
i have owned bull terriers all my life. my friends think that they are stupid, simply because they will not readily respond to commands-
truth is they can actually work out if you are serious or not, and will try their luck unless they are properly controlled.

worst dog i ever owned was a spaniel... now that thing was really stupid, but was very protective of me.
i had to get rid of her because she would go for the kids if they came near me.
difference is that if she had attacked anybody, the damage would probably have been minimal, whereas a bull terrier or pitbull can easily kill if it sets it's mind to it.

still, i can't argue with the statistics previously posted.
looked for bull terriers and staffies in there, but they seem to have been left out.

According to residents of the neighborhood, the dog did NOT maul Darla Napora, “just found out that the woman fell off a ladder and hit her head...husband came home found the dog standing over her...he put the dog out side....it got loose and cops shot the dog...thinking that it had mauled the lady. The dog had blood on it's body because he was trying to nudge her to make her move....”


Now that the media has stirred up world wide hatred of pitbulls, causing untold suffering for these dogs, think they will CORRECT the story?? NOT

My brothers beloved American bull terrier, Boxhead[*], was humanely put down last week. Cancer. A desexed female, Boxhead would not harm a hair on your head. It was sad news for the sabang family, we loved that dog.
* real name Kelly, but everyone called her Boxhead- she had a head like a box, innit?

It is understandable when you hear about an incident of this nature to blame the breed- although it is closer to the mark to blame the owner. Look further however, and you will find the aggressive pitbulls are male, and generally not desexed. And they are brought up to be aggressive by the sort of scumbags you describe.

Theres a big diiference between pitbull terriers and other bull terriers IMO

The Amerkin bull terrier aka pitbull is merely a cross between the English and Staffordshire bull terrier.
The term 'pitbull' came about because of dogfighting of course. Genetically, pitbulls bred with this in mind may differ some from the traditional breed, but not much.
