Here is the news story.. Top Stories: Baby Killed By Dog | county, stray, animal - wtvc.com

It is amazing to me that people just cannot understand that NO dog should EVER be CHAINED up, NO MATTER WHAT, and children should NOT be UNATTENDED with any dog, REGARDLESS OF BREED! I just don't understand what is so confusing or difficult about that!?
It's ridiculous to me that they feel the need to throw in something about a so-called "pit bull" attack that has absolutely nothing to do with this story!

That is tragic!!! Has nothing to do with chaining at all. It has to do with a dog that has a poor temperament should be culled and worthless parents who let their kid unsupervised.
Its amazing how many kids are left alone. Parents want to cry when the kid is kidnapped, hit by a car, drowned in pools or whatever else. One 2yr old was mauled by a Pit Bull in CA and was several blocks away from his house. What kind of parent lets their 2yr old blocks away in an inner city?????? The owner was wrong for training the dog as a guard dog for his weed patch, however if the parent hadn't been negligent their kid would still be alive. They need to take some responsibility. If they care watch the kid. Both are at fault.
Many children are bitten, killed and attacked in their own home by a "trusted" family dog. I see this very frequently either mauled INSIDE by their own pet or their friends dog. In other cases kids have climbed into fences or even opened unlocked gates to backyards and been mauled, one 6yr old boy even climbed a 6ft kennel and was killed by a Rottweiler.
I think no dog should be neglected, and no idiots in an ideal world should own dogs. The same goes for children, they shouldn't be neglected, abused, unsupervised. People need to wake up and realize!! Why was this small 15 month old outside with the dog in the 1st place? Its obvious the dog couldn't be trusted with the child. Some people amaze me. All I can say is WHERE WERE THE PARENTS. So many deaths could have been prevented if the parents were around or new where there kids were.
I really hate that story about the lady who's 12yr old was mauled by the Pit Bull. Why on earth would you lock your 12yr old in the basement to protect him from the Pit Bull and then say the dog was never aggressive? So what was she trying to protect him for? Say the dog was acting aggressive (protective) about the female that they wanted him to breed and then say he wasn't aggressive. If you haven't read the story you can google it, that crazy lady makes Pit Bull owners look stupid and careless.
Although it does amaze me the myths about chaining and how people don't understand it. I'm sure soon enough all forms of containment will be outlawed and all dogs liberated. You know we are holding them captive and using them as slaves and they hate it. Like that ape that actually had a law suit in San Fransisco because they could sign that their civil liberties were being oppressed.
We had one hotel worker warn me that another customer had complained to the front desk about us and was going to call the police because our dogs were in crates and we transported them in the dog trailer and that was "abuse". We were like good, let them call then. It will be funny.
Unless of course we are supposed to keep them in kennel crates all the time? Thats a good idea for protection. Just have them around like an accessory. We can't have them free inside, chained outside, left in a fenced yard or placed in a kennel they might maul someone if they are free. Maybe that will be the new alternative to banning, but I doubt it, they will just want all dogs "Free".
There are myths about spay/neuter as well. There are so many good reason to spay/neuter pets. I'm ALL for it, but when people start making it seem like its going to make your dog a super great pet they are setting the pet owner up for possibly false expectations and that leads to trouble. The same with the Pit Bull people who believe its "all in how you raise them" so naive. People should just stick to the facts. Be knowledgeable, research, train, socialized and raise your animals right and not breed dogs of poor temperament!!
