[KFC911]

Babysitter's PB mix...sitter briefly goes to car to clear out the back seat...dead baby .

Utter stupidity...

[rfuerst911sc]

Gee a PB mix ......... who could have seen that coming RIP to that baby very sad .

[Por_sha911]

but somehow, some folks refuse to look at the statistical proof that some breeds are more dangerous than others.

Yes, the adults are to blame.
Yes, the dog may have been improperly trained although it is highly unlikely that a baby sitter has a dog trained to attack.
YES, the SAME BREED keeps coming up in attacks. Lets regulate the breed just like we regulate chemicals, guns, dangerous animals like lions, tigers....

A 4-year-old Utah boy lost his right hand after it was bitten off by a neighbor’s husky Sunday afternoon.

In an attempt to play with the dog, the young child, whose name has not been released, put a sock over his arm and stuck it underneath the fence that separates his backyard from the neighbor’s yard where two huskies live, Layton City Police PIO Jason Cook tells PEOPLE.

The child’s entire hand and 2 to 3 inches of his forearm were missing, Cook explained.

Police believe the dog may have “ingested” the limb, Cook said.

Leaving any dog alone with access to a 6mo baby is foolish.

Any dog that can get to a baby could conceivably do something bad, even a chihuahua. Dogs and babies seem to be a volatile mix. Also, young kids and dogs can also be a volatile mix because the kids don't always know how to play with a dog and dogs don't always understand dealing with a small child. Dogs and children should be supervised when they are together.

Wow, my heart goes out to the parents and the babysitter. The parents have a loss that they'll likely never recover from, and the babysitter isn't probably in much better shape.

[berettafan]

Horrible. For all involved really.

A women in my office came in and told me she was bitten by a dog on her leg.

What kind? A pit.

Who dog was it? My daughter's.

Has it bitten before? Yes 8 times?

Why is the dog still in the house? Well they love him.

Redneck mentality.

We had a Siberian Husky when I was growing up. I guess he was about sixty pounds, strong as hell. He was the sweetest most loving dog you would ever want to meet. But, he killed everything. No one's dog or cat was safe when Zeke got out.

Wow, people are stupid, it sounds like she set the baby on the floor and went outside to clean her car, can't imagine doing that with any dog or even a cat.

From the news report, there must've been someone still in the house (probably another female...mebbe?). Loud screams though...allerted the sitter.

Utterly stupidity all around...mom & sitter...regardless of breed imo.

A baby raised with a dawg....some dogs I WOULD trust...it's their pack . They truly are individuals, but do have traits...

There is a reason that 75% of the dogs currently in kill shelters are PB mixes, they just can't be trusted. The breeders keep breeding, and charge big $$, because so many young people veiw them a tough status symbol, along with multiple tattoos, and peircings they have (sounds like i'm profiling here, but the truth hurts).

In related (darwin) news:

A man has been killed by the pet lion he kept in his family home for breeding purposes, having gotten locked in the big cat’s cage.

Michal Prasek, who lived in the eastern Czech town of Zdechov, was found dead by his father at around 7 a.m. Tuesday. His father told local media the door was locked from the inside, the BBC reported.

Prasek, 34, was the owner of the nine-year-old lion as well as a lioness, which was kept in a separate cage. Prasek used the animals for breeding and his business had reportedly drawn numerous complaints from neighbors. According to Radio Praha, Prasek did not have the required permits to keep the animals.

Both lions were shot dead by police when they arrived on the scene to investigate. A police spokesperson told local media that killing the two animals was “absolutely necessary for them to get to the man,” the BBC noted. According to local news website Novinky.cz, the lioness was pregnant.

A spokesperson added explained that the “fatal incident” resulted in the man being “right in the lion’s pen.” Pasek’s body has now been recovered and sent for an autopsy to confirm the cause of death.

Prasek bought the male lion in 2016 and the lioness in 2018. He kept both predators in self-made cages in his backyard in Zdechov, close to the border with Slovakia. In the past, he has been handed fines because he did not secure planning permission before building the enclosures.

In response, Prasek reportedly refused to allow anyone representing the local authorities onto his property, leaving the two sides at an impasse. The BBC explained that authorities were unable to forcibly remove the animals because keeping them was not illegal, there is a lack of alternative facilities in the Czech Republic and there was no evidence of cruelty towards the animals.

Zdechov Mayor Tomas Kocourek told local media that Prasek would often walk his lions around the local area on a leash, prompting regular complaints from other local residents.

Prasek was in the news in June 2018 when a cyclist crashed into his lioness while Prasek was taking her for a walk. The cyclist was eventually able to fight the animal off using his bike, but still required hospital treatment. The incident was eventually classed as a traffic accident after local police were called to investigate.

“Today's incident will perhaps finally help to resolve this long-term problem,” Kocourek said.

Private ownership of big cats is surprisingly common in the Czech Republic, allowing the country to become a hub of illegal wildlife smuggling. According to the Deutsche Presse-Agentur, there are more than 250 big cats kept by private owners in the country.

After last year’s collision between the cyclist and Prasek’s lion, Kocourek told the agency that because it is not illegal to keep such animals, “I can't do anything, apart from appealing to the owners' conscience.”

While many are kept as pets, DPA explained that others are killed for their meat and bones which are subsequently sold on the black market.
