Neighbor Brian Kirby told Fox 8 News that he got home from work and “saw a woman in the middle of the street screaming.” After asking if she needed help, Kirby told the outlet that the woman ran towards the back of the home, and then he soon heard sirens approaching.
The press release said that the Tullahoma Police Department immediately arrived at the scene and “observed the pitbulls actively mauling the infant.”
The statement issued by Northcott’s office described the scene of the incident as “brutal.”


I don’t know that anyone who despises a breed of dog is going to have a productive conversation with me since the entire premise of the conversation is hatred vs opposition to hatred. Half of you people probably despise dogs in general.
You should read my clarification edit. I have two lovely dogs. A husky/ pit bull mix, spayed, and a malinois/ redbone coonhound, also spayed. These two foster failures came to me from Camp Pendleton, with major behavioral problems. After a year of fostering them, I got the behavioral problems in check, but they cannot be in anyone else’s care, unless they know how to properly train a dog. My girls haven’t, and won’t ever have puppies, but they love living with me, as I gave them the jobs they desperately needed.
We don’t need more pitbulls being bred.
Yeah I saw that. Sorry, it’s hard to know who is a despiser in these communities. There are a lot of sociopaths out there who would feed millions of dogs into a wood chipper if they could. Whoever created this community is almost certainly one of them.
Fair enough, I didn’t actually see the name of the community until after we started talking. It just showed up in my feed on /All.
I think its more of an awareness thing. An ER doc said there are more dog bites they see from other larger breeds, but the PitBill bites they see are by far more extremely damaging or deadly.
My aunt had two pitbills when we were kids, they were extremely affectionate towards us and would knock us over to lick our faces, but at night they had to be caged separately or they’d try to tear each other apart out of perceived jealously.
My daughter rescues pitbills now, some have been sweet, some are just reactive and can’t be trusted.
Its not the dogs fault, its breeders and losers who want a “tough” dog that perpetuate this viscious cycle of abuse
