Sounds like you have some trashy family members. It's always been common sense to put the animal down after an incident.
how the fuck is that common sense? what are you guys talking about? It's not like the pit bull ate teh fucking kid in a fit of rage and madness. Pit bulls arent commonly around infants (Gee, I wonder why) so they can be easily confused/disgruntled, and as high energy dogs who are not cared for properly (probably the case) they can easily can easily bite by reflex, since after all it is a massive fucking animal that has developed over millions of years the massive fucking jaw and teeth it has that allows it slaughter infants effortlessly. OP, why the fuck are you leaving your 1 year old son close enough to a pit bull to get beaten in the face?
i can't believe the shit i'm reading in this thread
