8-month-old boy killed by family pit bull in Maryland1

An 8-month-old boy was killed Thursday in Maryland when the familys
pit bull attacked him, authorities said.

Officers responded about 1 p.m. to Prancer Court in Lusby, Maryland, for the report of a dog attack, the Calvert County Sheriffs Office said in a statement.

The deputies, who arrived within a minute of the call, saw the familys pit bull attacking the boy €“ who was in the care of a family friend €“ and shot the animal to stop the attack. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.

At a news conference Friday, Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans said that the pit bull was 6 to 8 years old and that the family had had it since it was a puppy. The dog attacked the baby €œout of the blue,€� he said.

€œOur hearts are heavy after this tragic event,€� Evans said. €œOur thoughts and prayers are with the family and everyone involved. No one should have to endure this type of traumatic event.€�

The dog, which weighed about 65 pounds, had no history of being aggressive and would be tested for rabies, the sheriff said. The family friend, a female neighbor who unsuccessfully tried to stop the attack, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, the sheriff said.

Evans said that no charges would be filed and that the victims name would not be released at the familys request.

At the news conference, Tom Hejl, president of Calvert Countys Board of County Commissioners, said he favors pit bull restrictions in the county. The dogs have been outlawed in neighboring Prince Georges County for more than two decades.

€œI would hope that it would actually spur some conversation,€� he said.

Evans said the last fatal dog attack in Calvert County was in 2006 when a group of pit bulls killed their owner.

No dog is born with that "nature", it's trained into them. Pit bulls
just happen to be of a size that makes that kind of training produce a
dangerous animal. Some of the meekest dogs around are pit bulls that
have been raised in a normal fashion. Treat any large dog the way that
one undoubtedly was and you'll have a similarly dangerous animal.

jack russles combined.

Pit bulls have a very bad reputation for things like this, perhaps the
worst of any dog breed. Whether that reputation is just or not, it
definitely exists. So the question is, why does anybody want to own a
pit bull?

Reputation aside, they can be a great dog. They can be trained, they
can behave well.

Unfortunately, many have been bread to fight. In some neighborhoods is
is a status symbol to be seen walking a nasty pit bull, like brandishing
a weapon. They ruined the breed, or at least a good portion of it.

I own four of them. They are a very loyal dog, good family dog, too.
Issues you read/hear about concerning this breed and others similiar
to it almost always involve some asshole human abusing the dog from
an early age. I've been around dogs like this since I was a kiddo
myself, and, I've *never* had an issue with ANY of them. Including
the ones we've rescued from asshole humans. One of my favorite very
protective hounds passed away last summer. I found him outside, with
no food, no water, no shelter, tied to a huge logging chain, wrapped
around an ancient rusting pile of **** dozer. I walked right up to
him, let him growl, etc, and attached my leash to his collar. And
then disconnected the logging chain. I towed him to my vehicle and
took him straight to a vet I've used for a very long time now to have
him checked out. Then, I took him home. I had him for nearly ten
years before he passed way. Didn't even try biting me, not one single
time.

His growl was for show, and, he knew I knew it too. heh. Like I said,
it's the asshole humans that give them a bad name.

That's a somewhat broad generalization but does serve to underline the
fact that aggressive pits are usually the result of being raised by
people classed as undesirables who intentionally mistreat them in order
to get an aggressive dog.

Diesel brought next idea :
His growl was for show, and, he knew I knew it too. heh. Like I said,

That's 99% true.
My Father had a pit that would swing from a old tire on a rope slung
from a tree with great joy. This same pit let my Fathers grandkids
crawl all over her and she would lick them as the kids fell off her
back. Only issue was she hated other dogs and would tear them apart
when she would escape the chainlink fence keeping her in the backyard.

The 'gangsters' from Compton would walk their pit bulls with a spyked
collar and fight their other pits till they bled to death. Many pits
were turned over to the animal control and put down because of how they
were trained to kill. The punk gangsters got away from being
prosicuted, or given a lite fine for keeping a dangerous animal.

Some hounds, regardless of breed don't always play well with other
hounds. Or cats for that matter. *shrug*. It is what it is.

I wouldn't put too much faith in what btj posts, David. The arse

and, that's NOT the case. Not only do you need specialized equipment
to retrieve the old pump, you also need to be licensed to even touch
the well it's inside of. I posted that yesterday, but, I'll go ahead
and copy/paste it from my sent folder for your amusement.

Not really any normal joe can replace his own well pump,

Oh really?

http://www.tn.gov/environment/article/wr-wq-well-water

Well Water

The Well Driller Supervision Program licenses well drillers, pump
setters, and water treatment device installers in the State.
Licensed individuals must develop wells and install equipment
according to standards, which are designed to protect the resource
and insure consumers of a safe and reliable structure.

The duties of the Commissioner are given in TCA, Section 69-11-106
and include, among other things, the authority to:

License drillers, pump installers, and water treatment device
installers Inspect well construction
Investigate complaints
Promulgate Rules relative to well construction

Background

The Tennessee Water Well Act of 1963 requires all persons drilling a
water well to be licensed.

A water well is any well for the production of water for beneficial
use such as: domestic use, irrigation, livestock watering, etc.

A person installing a pump or water treatment device on a water well
must also be licensed.

Installing a Pump

Pumps must be installed by a licensed installer. Selection of the
correct pump is based in part upon the diameter of the well casing,
well depth, static water level, well yield, friction loss, vertical
lift, drawdown, and number of water fixtures or residents in the
home. The installer will use these figures to determine the
appropriate size and type pump for your water well.

[snip] more details at the link above. Suffice to say, normal joe
won't be doing well work, atleast, not legally.

but wall water may be harder.

That was a typo, asshat.

You certainly ****ed up here. Normal joe cannot drill his own well,
cannot install said pump, cannot replace said ****ing pump; aside
from licensing issues, normal joe can't even get to the old damn pump
in most cases.

BTJ is a ****ing moron, David. When will you learn that?

A tragedy no doubt, but I've yet to see documented evidence of how that
animal was raised and trained. Until then I believe any conclusions of
general pit bull behavior based on this case is premature.

No dog is born with that "nature", it's trained into them. Pit
bulls just happen to be of a size that makes that kind of
training produce a dangerous animal. Some of the meekest dogs
around are pit bulls that have been raised in a normal
fashion. Treat any large dog the way that one undoubtedly was

Nice but there are way more killings by pit bulls than
chihuahuas and jack russles combined.

I don't doubt that but you should factor in that those looking to
raise a vicious animal are more likely to pick a pit than a
chihuahua.


You are right not many drug dealers/gun runners/other assorted
scum get a chicuahua or jack russel.

Agreed. They prefer dogs they can train to be aggressive.

chihuahuas usually go to girlie men and jack russels to farmers.

That's a somewhat broad generalization but does serve to underline
the fact that aggressive pits are usually the result of being
raised by people classed as undesirables who intentionally
mistreat them in order to get an aggressive dog.


yet with no signs of abuse or past aggressiveness an 8 month old
baby is dead.

A tragedy no doubt, but I've yet to see documented evidence of how
that animal was raised and trained. Until then I believe any
conclusions of general pit bull behavior based on this case is
premature.


Until I see documented evidence they trained it to be aggressive or
violent I will believe the story as published.

"The dog attacked the baby €œout of the blue,€� he said."


"The dog, which weighed about 65 pounds, had no history of being
aggressive and would be tested for rabies, the sheriff said. The family
friend, a female neighbor who unsuccessfully tried to stop the attack,
was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, the sheriff said."

I wouldn't put too much faith in what btj posts, David. The arse
licking toadie thought any old joe could install a well pump in TN,
and, that's NOT the case. Not only do you need specialized equipment
to retrieve the old pump, you also need to be licensed to even touch
the well it's inside of. I posted that yesterday, but, I'll go ahead
and copy/paste it from my sent folder for your amusement.

I'm not all that impressed with the wall water situation. I've

Not really any normal joe can replace his own well pump,

Oh really?

http://www.tn.gov/environment/article/wr-wq-well-water

Well Water

The Well Driller Supervision Program licenses well drillers, pump
setters, and water treatment device installers in the State.
Licensed individuals must develop wells and install equipment
according to standards, which are designed to protect the resource
and insure consumers of a safe and reliable structure.

The duties of the Commissioner are given in TCA, Section 69-11-106
and include, among other things, the authority to:

License drillers, pump installers, and water treatment device
installers Inspect well construction
Investigate complaints
Promulgate Rules relative to well construction

Background

The Tennessee Water Well Act of 1963 requires all persons drilling a
water well to be licensed.

A water well is any well for the production of water for beneficial
use such as: domestic use, irrigation, livestock watering, etc.

A person installing a pump or water treatment device on a water well
must also be licensed.

Installing a Pump

Pumps must be installed by a licensed installer. Selection of the
correct pump is based in part upon the diameter of the well casing,
well depth, static water level, well yield, friction loss, vertical
lift, drawdown, and number of water fixtures or residents in the
home. The installer will use these figures to determine the
appropriate size and type pump for your water well.

[snip] more details at the link above. Suffice to say, normal joe
won't be doing well work, atleast, not legally.

but wall water may be harder.

That was a typo, asshat.

You certainly ****ed up here. Normal joe cannot drill his own well,
cannot install said pump, cannot replace said ****ing pump; aside
from licensing issues, normal joe can't even get to the old damn pump
in most cases.

BTJ is a ****ing moron, David. When will you learn that?

As you were told, you are nothing special
Anyone can go to any tractor supply store and buy a well pump
and remove/replace an old one or installed it in a new
drilled/dug well.

No wire puller/errand boi needed....LOL

No dog is born with that "nature", it's trained into
them. Pit bulls just happen to be of a size that makes
that kind of training produce a dangerous animal. Some
of the meekest dogs around are pit bulls that have been
raised in a normal fashion. Treat any large dog the way
that one undoubtedly was and you'll have a similarly
dangerous animal.

Nice but there are way more killings by pit bulls than
chihuahuas and jack russles combined.

I don't doubt that but you should factor in that those
looking to raise a vicious animal are more likely to pick a
pit than a chihuahua.


You are right not many drug dealers/gun runners/other
assorted scum get a chicuahua or jack russel.

Agreed. They prefer dogs they can train to be aggressive.

chihuahuas usually go to girlie men and jack russels to
farmers.

That's a somewhat broad generalization but does serve to
underline the fact that aggressive pits are usually the
result of being raised by people classed as undesirables who
intentionally mistreat them in order to get an aggressive
dog.


yet with no signs of abuse or past aggressiveness an 8 month
old baby is dead.

A tragedy no doubt, but I've yet to see documented evidence of
how that animal was raised and trained. Until then I believe
any conclusions of general pit bull behavior based on this
case is premature.


Until I see documented evidence they trained it to be aggressive
or violent I will believe the story as published.

"The dog attacked the baby €œout of the blue,€� he said."


"The dog, which weighed about 65 pounds, had no history of being
aggressive and would be tested for rabies, the sheriff said. The
family friend, a female neighbor who unsuccessfully tried to
stop the attack, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries,
the sheriff said."

Wasn't the dog in question a Jack Russell, not a pit bull?


Really, now you are just being, you know ****ing....

Being what? This discussion started off with:
"8-month-old boy killed by family pit bull in Maryland"

and reading the article I see:

"THE grieving family of a newborn baby killed by their pet Jack
Russell said last night: €œWe have no words to describe the loss we
have suffered.€�"

To be honest, I didn't realize the dog in question was a Jack
Russell, I saw the line that included "family pit bull" and spaced
on the fact that it actually wasn't a pit bull.

I still believe any dog can be raised to be vicious and any pit
bull can be raised to be a good family pet.

The deputies, who arrived within a minute of the call, saw the
familys pit bull attacking the boy €“ who was in the care of a
family friend €“ and shot the animal to stop the attack. The boy was
pronounced dead at the scene.

I don't know where that came from but I read:
€œThe dog in question was a family pet €“ a Jack Russell €“ and this
animal has been put down.€œ

We seem to have a disparity of understanding.



Read the op. Damn! No ****ing jack dog. They can't reach 60+ pounds.
Your effort to change the subject is getting boring.


8-month-old boy killed by family pit bull in Maryland1

An 8-month-old boy was killed Thursday in Maryland when the familys
pit bull attacked him, authorities said.

Officers responded about 1 p.m. to Prancer Court in Lusby, Maryland, for the report of a dog attack, the Calvert County Sheriffs Office said in a statement.

The deputies, who arrived within a minute of the call, saw the familys pit bull attacking the boy €“ who was in the care of a family friend €“ and shot the animal to stop the attack. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.

At a news conference Friday, Calvert County Sheriff Mike Evans said that the pit bull was 6 to 8 years old and that the family had had it since it was a puppy. The dog attacked the baby €œout of the blue,€� he said.

€œOur hearts are heavy after this tragic event,€� Evans said. €œOur thoughts and prayers are with the family and everyone involved. No one should have to endure this type of traumatic event.€�

The dog, which weighed about 65 pounds, had no history of being aggressive and would be tested for rabies, the sheriff said. The family friend, a female neighbor who unsuccessfully tried to stop the attack, was taken to a hospital with minor injuries, the sheriff said.

Evans said that no charges would be filed and that the victims name would not be released at the familys request.

At the news conference, Tom Hejl, president of Calvert Countys Board of County Commissioners, said he favors pit bull restrictions in the county. The dogs have been outlawed in neighboring Prince Georges County for more than two decades.

€œI would hope that it would actually spur some conversation,€� he said.

Evans said the last fatal dog attack in Calvert County was in 2006 when
a group of pit bulls killed their owner.

[snip]

Yes, yes, you're right, somehow I latched onto a link introduced by
rbowman earlier in the thread, my bad. No need to get apoplectic over
it, the original story was indeed about a pit bull. I still believe the
onus for bad dog behavior rests with the owner, not the animal itself.
For every pit bull raised to be vicious there's likely thousands that
were treated decently and are great family pets.

Did you have a bad experience with a pit bull earlier in life? I was
bitten by a German Shepard when I was a kid and I still get nervous
around them despite the fact that they are a great and loyal family pet
in most cases.

Nope, none got close enough to bite and they
still don't.

DRT!

Exactly my experience. I was maybe 8 years old when I got bit by a
German Shepherd. I still avoid them but my grandson's pit bull can
crawl under the covers when I'm sleeping and I don't care.
