quote:

INDIANA (WITI) — A sad story out of Indiana: A pit bull mauled his owner to death on Christmas Day.

FOX6’s sister station WGN reports 40-year-old Eddie Cahill was at home on Thursday, December 25th with his two eight-year-old dogs “Fat Boy and Keylo.”

Cahill’s wife was spending the day with her family. When she returned home, WGN reports she found Fat Boy with blood on his mouth, and Cahill dead in the living room — covered in dog bites.

The dog was taken to the humane society, where officials had to use a taser to get the dog under control. The dog was euthanized on Friday, December 26th, at the request of the family.

WGN reports the family says they had given the dog bones for Christmas, and they call what happened a freak accident.

A police report shows Cahill’s wife told a responding officer she had warned her husband to have the dog euthanized because it was violent and unpredictable, but she now says that’s not true.

“They were playful dogs. One slept with the girls and the other slept with me and my husband. I don’t want people to think bad of pit bulls. It was a freak accident. He loved those dogs,” Cahill’s wife told WGN.

"It's very important that people not think bad of the family pet of 8 years that snapped and mauled my husband to death."

Euthanize all murder dogs.

I'm glad there's a special model of dog only dumb fuckers own, rather than dumb fuckers just owning whatever normal kind of dog and being slightly harder to identify and discriminate against.

Yeah there's definitely a certain "kind" of person that trains their dogs wrong and responsible for attacks.

what even is the appeal of pit bulls to these 'oh they aren't violent' type of people. they are among the ugliest dogs on the planet, why wouldn't you just get a loveable dopey mutt instead of paying a premium for an ugly breed that might snap and kill you for no reason, idgi.

pit bulls are generally free...

the staffordshire bull terrier and american staffordshire are AKC recognized breeds and cost a ton of money. 99% of dog attacks are "pit bulls" that are undefined mixtures.

breed standard staffordshires are renown for their affection toward humans. i just poopd

I've never met a pit bull who wasn't an absolute sweetheart. Maybe that's just me being fluent in doglish, but I just can't see them being a threat to anyone unless they're very poorly socialized.

Think they're taking a civil rights stand and also that random passersby might mistake them for a cool gangster if they stand next to one, it's like a lone black friend that you can buy outright

It'd be good if we could sell them on the idea that like skye terriers or something are super tuff hickass fightin dogs so we'd still have the red badge of idiot but not one that's able to get its jaws around an infant's skull.

they're OK dogs, all dog types are OK by default but pit owners are universally the last people you want responsible for socializing a living thing

my favorite is how breeds like pugs have health issues because of their ugly loving faces. people are intentionally breeding animals that go through their whole lives with breathing problems because they somehow think the ugly fuckers look better that way. i genuinely do not understand.

pugs and pit bulls are loving hideous, and i usually like most dogs. its a shame most animal shelters are swamped with "pit bull mutts" and chihuahua's because they also suck

Wrong, mutts are like $50, you gotta drop around four figgies if you want to be sure of getting one of the critters with the serious health problems.

You can get a psychotic pitmix 'rescued bait dog' that you can neglect until it eventually goes berserk and murders you family for just about nothin though

Everyone should own Wirehaired Pointing Griffons.

They are considered to be "4 wheel drive hunters", are super intelligent and loyal, and were bred from the outset for a loving, family oriented temperament
