Baby girl mauled by family pit bull in Santa Barbara

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - A baby girl will need extensive surgery after being mauled by her family's pit bull in Santa Barbara. Police Lieutenant Paul McCaffrey says the dog attacked the eleven-month-old yesterday afternoon inside their apartment.

The infant suffered bite wounds to her face, forehead, and scalp. She was taken to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital where she is listed in stable condition.

At the familys request, the dog was taken into custody by Santa Barbara Animal Control and euthanized.

McCaffrey says the eight-year old pit bull mix had no prior history of biting people. He says the child's mother kept the dog at the girl's grandmother's house in Santa Barbara. McCaffrey says yesterday was the first time the pit bull had been introduced to the infant.

There was more information on cnn.com so I'll be talking about some of the details I got from there.

Ok so you have a dog for 8 years. Then when you have a baby you ship the dog off to grandmother's house for 11 months. Then you reunite mom, dad, Pepe (the dog) and the baby (because wife thinks that the baby is "old enough") so they are on the couch and Pepe attacks.

Again this raises my question of how do stupid people get to be say 40, 50 or 60 years old? They are stupid so shouldn't they die sooner? And especially not be able to spawn because obviously their offspring will be stupid too.

So who didn't see this coming? Raise your hand. >>>>No hands raised.

Exactly. If prior to being abandoned these people treated Pepe like we treat Luda, Jade and Bruno & Cody then of course the dog was probably sad and lonely. I'll bet during the 11 months they didn't visit much if at all. Then all of a sudden they come with a baby. Then they were probably playing with the baby and ignoring Pepe. Pepe's excited to see them but then they are ignoring him and he gets jealous. Duh. It has nothing to do with the fact that he's a pitbull. Jade gets jealous when we play with Luda or even with Blue the stuffed animal if she gets ignored. Bruno & Cody got jealous too. Dogs have feelings too whether people want to admit it or not.

Then these idiots murder the dog!!! That's what makes me the angriest. They are at fault and that child needs to be in protective services. This is why not everyone should be allowed to breed. (especially Britney Spears but that's another story)
