"LA gets a taste of pit bull hysteria..."
The article clearly states that the man was attacked by three bull mastiffs and an English bulldog. Don't add to the pit bull witch hunting by misreporting the facts.
Not Just any bull mastiffs, but fila brasileiros. Lets get our breeds straight when talking about this sort of topics.
Although the word "bull" appears in the name of these breeds, it doesn't meant they're pit bulls. guest 1 is right.
I'm tired of all this negative press about pit bulls. My darling pitties only killed two kids this year, and in both cases, the kids were looking at them funny.
i said that he was killed by "pooches," guest #1. hungry pooches!
the fallout, though, will be like SF's pit bull hysteria of years ago, which is unfortunate. i love pit bulls; they're wonderful dogs.
