A pair of pit bulls, considered to be loving family pets, suddenly attack someone. Sounds familier somehow.

I am a complete animal lover of all kinds. However, I think all pit bulls should be neutered so they eventually become extinct. While I am sure they have their loving moments, any animal with the capacity to kill should not be a house pet. I don't know if it's nature or nurture, but there is something inherently wrong with this breed. FYI, I managed to stop an attack on a small poodle by two pit bulls by driving my car towards them all and laying on the horn non-stop and yelling scat out the window. I think the noise bothered them. Just a thought in case you ever need it.

I'm not an owner of a pit bull, nor will I ever be. However, the only reason this story is news is that the two dogs were pit bulls. I'm sure dogs are getting into fights all over Long Beach, but the press only reports pit bull fights/bites. If they only reported Chihuahua fights/bites, then everyone would think that Chihuahua were dangerous dogs.

"The most horrifying example of the lack of breed predictability is the October 2000 death of a 6-week-old baby, which was killed by her family's Pomeranian dog. The average weight of a Pomeranian is about 4 pounds, and they are not thought of as a dangerous breed. Note, however, that they were bred to be watchdogs! The baby's uncle left the infant and the dog on a bed while the uncle prepared her bottle in the kitchen. Upon his return, the dog was mauling the baby, who died shortly afterwards.("Baby Girl Killed by Family Dog," Los Angeles Times, Monday, October 9, 2000, Home Edition, Metro Section, Page B-5.)"

There goes a racist again. There are two families down the street from me with pit bulls (one of the family has two pit bulls) and they're WHITE. They also have kids too. So what is it with you racist that always have to come out with stupid comments about hispanics and blacks. Alot of white people have pit bulls too, IDIOT!!!!
I agree. He should have said "low-rent trash," since most pitbull owners are from the lower ranks of society.
Sure blacks and mexicans buy pitbulls to serve as hillbilly burglar alarms, but plenty of white trash buy them too for the same reason.

While I am a avid dog lover, I have two dogs myself, both male, I have never had to break up a fight between the two of them. Part of this is breeding and part is training. It appears that these two dogs were "outside" dogs" with little or no training except to protect the property. Pit Bulls and be very sweet dogs but they need alot of training. I firmly believe that the laws should be changed so that most dogs must be nutered and only those with special permits should be allowed to breed animals. Breeding is all about getting the correct temperment, size,attitude and intelligence from a breed. The question also goes to were these dogs licensed? Were they properly cared for? Did they have regular check-ups by a vet? These are the questions that should be asked not what was the race of the person who owned the dogs.

It is quite possible that the two pit bulls belonged to different gangs. Shortly before the dogs viciously attacked each other, one of them was overheard to ask the other one : "Where you from?' The other one immediately threw down and started flashing paw signs, and the fight was on. When the fight got really bad, the first dog pulled out a 9mm pistol, but it jammed. A typical day in the LBC.

She is probably one of those PB owners who say how sweet their dogs are and it's all a matter of training.

You made my day! As funny as that was, there is a message in what you wrote. Dogs only do what they are taught to do, 2 poodles would of did the same thing if they were raised like these dogs were raised.

The only difference is that the bites would of not been as bad and the story would not be newsworthy.

Irresponsible, ignorant pit bull owners is the real problem. It just so happens that ghetto-fabulous Long Beach is crawling with them. Ghetto comes in all colors, it just so happens..........

I was thinking the same thing! It makes me so happy when an abusive owner is attacked by their neurotic pit bulls because then I know a child won't be victimized, and the neurotic time bombs will be put to sleep.

This idiot has never heard of another ghetto dweller being attacked by 'they-own pibow'? I'm not one for government control, but this is a case where (pitbull owners) are too stupid to govern themselves. They need to be outlawed. I'm just glad in this case the owner was mauled and not someones kid. What do you bet she used to tell people they were 'good dogs'?

bullshit. if they attacked her, then clearly there would have had more bites on her body, not just her arms and hands. and if they were hers, then she should have known what they would have done if she interfered. its her fault. and why would she keep 2 dogs if they dont even like eachother?
pitbulls she only be kept to responsible people with much knowledge of the breed. thats why they have such a bad rep. the owners fucking suck! and i sick and tired of people judging and being so fucking into it. if it were any other breed, would it even make news? NO! it has to be the type of dogs thats already been tortured and shamed upon.
