Young Dog Owner Shares Story of Pet Attacked by Two Pit Bulls
"Bred to Kill" DogsBite.org - In one of the most compelling YouTube videos we have seen to date regarding a personal experience of a pit bull attack upon a dog, young "Nightshroud99" describes how his pet pug Mickey was severely mauled by two loose pit bulls. It is important to note that Nightshroud99's description of a "freak accident" is hardly freakish, as pit bulls were selectively bred to attack dogs for purposes of dogfighting. The term "freak accident" is also commonly used by pit bull owners after their dog launches an "unpredictable" deadly attack upon a person.

It is ok for pit bulls to be mauling and destroying innocent pets at huge numbers.
They mislead the public and say that pit bulls are loving pets with no problems who love other pets.
Even though pit bull BREEDERS admit that pit bulls have a high prey drive and attack other pets. They are INTENTIONALLY BRED TO HAVE THIS HIGH PREY DRIVE.
There is no one breeeding "pet" pit bulls. Pit bulls are all bred to have high prey drives and fight and attack.
Some of the pit bull "rescue" groups and advocacy groups are placing pit bulls that have attacked or killed pets, or have tried. The pit bulls attack again.
Places like Best Friends and Bad Rap need to be held accountable for their words.
If I owned a dog attacked by a pit bull, I would not hesitate to sue them for misinforming the public and implying warrantees for pit bull behavior.
I would also find out specifically where that pit bull came from and see them in court as well.
It is time to get these issues in the open air.
