Absolutely freaking terrible. If it weren't for low IQ and trashy people, the pit bull breed wouldn't exist.

MEMPHIS, Tenn.– Two children were killed, and their mother was seriously injured after they were attacked by their family dogs Wednesday afternoon.

The Shelby County Sheriff’s Office said the attack happened inside a home in the 700 block of Sylvan Road near Shelby Forest State Park around 3:30 p.m.

Deputies say two dogs attacked a 2-year-old girl, a 5-month-old boy, and their mother.

Shelby County Sheriff Public Information Officer John Morris said both dogs appeared to be Pitbulls and were taken by animal control.

Both children were pronounced dead at the scene. The mother was transported to Regional One in critical condition.

We asked if charges would be filed but were told this is still an ongoing investigation.

But I was told that this breed was very loving and protective of its family, especially children.

Seriously, when can we start eradicating this menace?

Why anybody has pits around women and children is beyond me. They can be great dogs if a man establishes and asserts himself early on…but otherwise they are generally a disaster waiting to happen.

What is the reason for this?
They should have gotten a .40 to the head right there on the spot.

Just because yalls city is filled with trashy people doesn't mean that all pit bulls suck. Like do the grown up thing and move out of that filth .

Pathetic

CNN: it was mostly peaceful but bloody interaction with dogs.

I have miniature schnauzers, they are a-holes, if they were as big and strong as a pit, no way would I own one.

If you have small children, never ever adopt dogs.
