too stupid to exist
You need to read this whole thing about the poor boy who was killed by his family's pit bull, but I'm just going to pull some quotes from the article for you:
"I used to say to Ella, just go ahead and let him do it," Faibish said. "Get it over with.'
But she insists, "I have no regrets about that day.."
"Even after the whole thing,' she said, "I'm not mad at my dogs. I just love them to death.' then..
"I told them I wanted him put down. I think of Rex as someone who molested my child, murdered my child.' [...] "He's the most loving and giving dog in the world,' she insisted. "There were no violent tendencies in him at all.'
12-year- old Nicholas Faibish had been told to stay in the basement separated from the dogs..."I put him down there, with a shovel on the door,'' said Faibish, who had left the boy alone with the dogs on June 3 to run some errands.
Faibish sent her 9-year-old son to the store to buy Nicholas a soda, bagel and chips. He also had video games to keep him busy. "Nicky was happy down there," she said.
"It's Nicky's time to go," she said. "When you're born you're destined to go and this was his time."
Ah, no. It wasn't his time. You stupid, crazy, batshit, selfish, brain dead, idiotic woman. You made it his time. It's not his fault for opening the basement door. It's not fate's fault for making this his "time" to go. It's not even the damn dog's fault. It's your fault. YOURS. And you are a freaking lunatic who should have your other children taken away from you. You do not know how to be a mother. Your son is DEAD because you are an IDIOT. You killed your child. Do you understand that, because I'll say it niiiiice and slooooow - YOU. KILLED. YOUR. CHILD.
Yea, yea. I know she can't hear me. But I feel a bit better now.
God damn, some people just don't deserve the life they get.

You want to really get frothing mad? read the Craigs List posts of people defending the dogs.Unbelievably sick and nasty. More people that want to hate all of humanity as much as they hate themselves.

Not for nothing, but the dogs are kind of blameless. The woman is a fucking idiot and shouldn't have dogs, let alone children. Dogs only do what their owners raise them to do. And if pit bulls are, by nature, dangerous (not that I'm saying they are because I've read articles that go either way), then it's the HUMAN who is stupid for brining the dogs into the house with children. The female was in heat. The male was being possessive. EIther get the kids out of the house or the dogs out of the house. The HUMAN is to blame.

Some people just don't need to breed. (And I'm not talking breed dogs.) 'Batshit' covers it nicely.

The HUMAN is to blame.
I'm with you 100% there. The woman has no right being a pet owner, much less a parent. Too bad you don't have to take a test to be either.

I'm all for a public flogging and some hard labor chain gang time for this woman. stupidity should be painfull.

Pit bulls are known to become more aggressive when they reach sexual maturity... males especially when a bitch in heat is in the vicinity.
Previously family-friendly dogs can become lethally aggressive.
Families with children in residence should not keep un-neutered pit bulls.
Other breeds bite, but pit bulls have been selected to be powerful, aggressive, and to have jaws capable of inflicting a great deal of tissue damage.

I especially liked where she said that she had no regrets of what happened that night. Stupid bitch! I think the wrong person was mauled that day!! She purposely left her child there knowing he was in danger. Unbelievable!

That jumped out at me, too, Angie. No regrets? Really? No possible regrets over the course of events that resulted in the death of your little boy? It's like words don't have any meaning anymore.

What I don't understand is why did the parents think that having a male and female dog of any breed, espesially pit bulls in the same house with children. Plus not having the pets fixed.
Posted by: Richard | June 12, 2005 05:35 PM
Opps, I forgot part of what I was trying to say in my last comment. I don't understand why the parents thought it was a good idea to have a male and female pit bulls with the children.

Richard, considering this woman's other statements, she probably thought it would be a wonderful opportunity for her son to see the miracle of canine sex.
There just aren't words for the contempt I feel for people like her. Too bad she can't have the image of her son's violent death replayed - no regrets, indeed.

That's a pretty good article on the pitt bull, its origins and why it is seen as violent. They aren't naturally agressive to people, they are naturally agressive to other dogs as they are bred to fight. But sometimes that agression is redirected to people. (Rarely, but of course this is what you hear about.) I work at a shelter and I spend lots of time with homeless pitt bulls, they are great, intelligent and fun dogs, but they require intelligent and aware owners. And all pets should be spayed or neutered.

What's obvoius here is that some HUMANS should be spayed or neutered before they breed...
Posted by: JoeB | June 13, 2005 08:54 AM
I COMPLETELY agree with that!

I chose this quote because it really defines what 'winners' these morons are:
"because the room, which also served as a playroom for the children, was filled with plastic bags in preparation of their move."

The dog needs to be put down. The pit bull, too.

And yet, if you actually did something like take her other children away or yell at her and hurt her feelings, you would be labelled a "persecutor" of innocent pit bull owners.
