Can you stop by and feed my dogs?Katherine Atkins
25-years old | Kernersville, NC
Katherine Atkins, 25-years old, was brutally struck down by her boyfriend's two pit bulls. Her body was discovered about 6:25 pm on Stable Hill Trail off Pumpkin Ridge Road by her boyfriend's roommate. At the time of the attack,
Atkins had stopped by to feed the male and female pit bulls when they attacked her
. No one witnessed the attack. The two dogs were housed in a fenced-in area behind the home. When deputies arrived on scene, they found Katherine lying dead in the backyard near the dogs' outdoor enclosure. Investigators said the dogs were running loose in the area when authorities arrived.
Officials said that Atkins had been around the pit bulls since they were puppies and there was "no history of problems or aggression" with the animals.
Albert Jacobs, the woman's boyfriend and owner of the dogs, surrendered them to Forsyth County Animal Control, which euthanized the animals. The sheriff's office called the young woman's death a "terrible tragedy" and do not expect to file criminal charges. [source citations]

He is chained up.. Everythings Ok ??
SALT LAKE CITY — A 6-year-old boy has been hospitalized after an attack by a neighbor's pit bull.
April Hancock said she was watching out a window Wednesday evening as her son, Wyatt Abraham, was playing soccer in a neighbor's yard and the dog snapped its chain. The dog's owner wrestled the animal off, but released it as Wyatt began to run away, and the dog attacked again, Hancock said.
Wyatt was severely bitten on his face, requiring hours of reconstructive surgery, and another surgery is scheduled for deep puncture wounds to his arm.
"I figured, 'The owner's outside. He'll be OK,'" Hancock said. "His whole lip was torn off. You could see his gums and his teeth, and it was in pieces. His cheek was hanging off. He was missing a little piece of his arm.“ (ref 3)Slide17

My Beliefs In Conclusion
By
outlawing or banning
just
pitbulls we can solve a nationwide problem and protect ourselves as well as also eliminating animal abuse of this breed.It has been proven in my opinion that the dangers far outweigh the positives of existence
Lets protect our community and children from these vicious and violent predators. If you wouldn’t own a tiger then for those same reasons you shouldn’t be able to
own a Pitbull.No one should ever be scared to go for a walk because of what lurks in people’s yards.Slide26
Think about it……If we can’t ban idiots from society then the least we can do and are obligated to do as a society is to take away the tools they use(i.e.
pitbulls
) to inflict harm on society in the same way we take away the ability of felons to own weapons.
If you can eliminate one thing from society each year and prevent harm and death to hundreds isn’t it only the common sense thing to do?Slide27
