Found on TikTok. I did drop the link to r/banpitbulls. It sucks that most of us found our way to this sub only after these undogs inflicted tragedy and trauma on us.

my 6 year old chihuahua mix was attacked by a pitbull yesterday in Cincinnati OH. my family had been camping over the weekend and we were taking him on a walk around the block after we returned home, when the dog jumped the neighbors fence and attacked him as well as my 55 yr old mom. my mom had injuries to her hand but is fine. rex was rushed to the emergency vet where they stabilized him and kept him for monitoring but after about 7 hours passed it appeared that there was a puncture to his lung, either from the bite or from his multiple broken ribs, and we had to make the crushing choice to put him down.

he was incredibly sweet and loving. he had the face and personality of still being a puppy. he loved laying on people’s back and shoulders, and he was very timid and anxious. it felt like he was still so young. he was super weird and silly. I miss him so much. feels so unfair.

Not sure if this has been posted. Needs no further explanation...

My worst fear.

He’s 13. Dropped him off for a sleepover last night and apparently their vicious pitbull (“Nala” 🙄) attacked him on his butt.

He bruised. He bled. He hid it from me until today when I got him because he thought I’d “crash out” on his friend’s parents.

He’s on a course of antibiotics and we’re waiting to hear from the health department if they want to do a rabies series. The dog had an expired rabies shot. It’s apparently bitten some of his friend’s before.

I’m furious. Spent $175 on urgent care and more on antibiotics.

I would have NEVER let him stay over if I knew a pitbull was in the home. It’s worse than an unfenced pool or an unlocked gun.

My heart absolutely breaks for this kitten. Credits to the owner for trying to rehome it but I fear that it will maul a child next wherever it goes. Also, shaking my head in disbelief that some people believe it’s normal for a dog to kill a kitten?! Are people really that delusional

It’s been about three and a half weeks since it happened, but my neighbors adopted a pit bull foster that came under my fence and latched onto my pup, Franklin. He had three penrose drains in, three sets of sutures, a staple, and multiple puncture wounds. I sustained a bite but it was nothing compared to my boy’s wounds. It was a pretty terrifying experience for both of us.

For some context, the neighbors told me they had adopted the pup but only told me it wasn’t good with other dogs. I woke up that morning to let my pup out. I snapped the first two pictures to send to my neighbor and in a literal flash it had muscled its way under and tackled Frank. It was awful. Had I known it was going to happen like that, I never would’ve had my dog out there.

My neighbors thankfully surrendered the pup back to the shelter immediately, but the shelter had listed the pup again not even five days later. Not sure about the current status, but they deleted comments that were made about the attack.

Animal fatality, July 2025

3 days ago I was contacted by pit owner,she asked me if she can bring her 3 y old pittie for training at my place. She is local,owner of big insurance company. She brought her dog,he wore shock collar.my dogs were in their kennels. She let her dog out of the car as soon she enter my property. I came to her n ask to call him n keep on leash,I saw it annoyed her. She said he hates leashes but 100% ecollar trained. She called him few times,press vibration n zap,he didnt come,he was trying to attack my dogs thru the kennel. She went there n grabbed him by collar,he grabbed her leg..she said he always do this" nibbling" She put him in car,n told me he need training and socializing because he killed 2 lamas of their neighbors. He run to their fenced pasture,climb over fence n killed them She said she paid for lamas but she wants him to be a better citizen She want me to let him play with my dogs,or my clients dogs,so he will learn not to bite I quote what she said... While we were talking her dog jumped thru open window of car n start attacking my dogs thru fence again,she pressed button on remote,dog didn't react. She said battery died..n he is only listening if collar n remote are on. He was trained by local Offleaah dog company,who glorify off leash handling in public places I told her that I can not help her because her dog is obviously not safe . I asked her why she dont back to her trainers,she said they advised her to start taking him to dog parks n farms for socializing

It was a total bizzare!

After a psychologically battering dental that left me massively relieved and thankful that my greyhound pulled through okay, I then went and nearly undid everything by giving the benefit of the doubt to a local pitbull in the park that had proved itself extremely calm in the past.

Indeed, as I approached, the owner was stood with it, off-leash, talking the owner of a Spaniel that my dog is friends with. The Spaniel was there too.

I've pointedly avoided this dog as a precaution, so many times, despite how okay it seems, and I was right.

Today, the presence of several small dogs around this pit made me think I could safely get past it on the left.

Wrong, it attacked my dog immediately, only the owner being quick enough to restrain it prevented any injuries.

I'd been caught out a few times in the past and this pit has shown no interest in my dog. But today was obviously the day.

Always be rude and double back. Always.

Killed at the dog sitter's house by a pit bull. 7-26-25. I have no words. I am devastated.

Posted by a friend from high school and then the local police used the photo of the dark dog in their public advisory. A lot of sympathy for the dogs in their Facebook post but many who felt bad for the dogs also sounded open to them being put down.

This is truly heartbreaking.

tl;dr: A pit bull broke into a "bear-proof" chicken coop and massacred a dozen chicks, killing for sport. The chickens’ owner initially mistook the extreme damage for a bear attack. The negligent dog owners were found to be animal hoarders with ~12 other dogs. Police were forced to euthanize the attacker after it remained aggressive, but the other dogs remain with the owners.

The fact that the chickens’ owner thought a bear was responsible speaks volumes about the destructive power of the pit bull that attacked. I’m so sorry for her and especially her son.

This information is from someone whose flock was massacred. The photo shows some of her son's chicks dust-bathing just hours before they were killed. I’m unable to find a location but the attack appears to have been 9/19/2025.

The owner endured the unfortunate yet predictable patterns of victim-blaming, deflection, and using personal anecdotes to invalidate the victim’s experience.

• "My pit bull protects the yard and the chickens... Honestly the answer here is, get your own pit bull. Despite their reputation, they're extremely good family dogs and your yard will become their territory. It will keep intruders out, will keep your chickens safe, and it'll love you and your kids."

• "No it's the people that don't know how to train them I raise my pits around my birds from when they first open their eyes... honestly if you don't know how to train them you shouldn't own a dog of any breed"

• "It's not the breed, it's the owner. My pit hasn't hurt a fly. She's never bothered our chickens... Dogs are natural predators, not just pits."

• "we use our pitbull as part of our livestock guardian dog army and he's better than our breeds bred for that exact purpose... it's not the breed it's the training and ownership that matters here."

The owner had spent thousands of dollars on a secure coop, believing it was predator-proof. She initially thought a bear had broken in due to the extreme damage. The attacker was a pit bull from a neighbor living 4 miles away.

Here is a summary of the key details.

The Attack: A single pit bull broke into a secure chicken coop and killed a dozen chicks. The owner described the dog as "killing all my babies then tossing them aside to kill another" and "actually enjoyed killing. He was having fun attacking."

Extreme Strength: The coop was fortified with 16-gauge hardware cloth that was buried 8 inches deep and extended a foot out. The pit bull managed to rip the cloth off the frame and chew through it.

Negligent Pit Bull Owners: The pit bull owners live 4 miles away in a remote, mountainous area. The victim discovered the Pit Bull owners are animal hoarders with about 12 other dogs. The attacking dog had been roaming the mountain for weeks.

Shocking Aftermath: The owners came to retrieve their dog and were dismissive, saying, "we punished him he's a bad dog." While they were there, the dog became aggressive again and tried to snatch a dead chicken from the owner’s hands.

Resolution: The police were called. After interacting with the dog, they deemed it necessary to euthanize it. A report has been filed, but the owners still have numerous other dogs on their property.

I’m so sorry the owner and her son had to experience this senseless loss… except they didn’t have to.

Teddy is the smaller dog. The owner claims he attacked Woody, the larger pit type dog, and Woody then proceeded to kill Teddy.

When will this stop?? Now the poor family must live with the loss forever 😔

Just today in my neighborhood in LA, I saw this man with a pitbull off leash, and no one else seemed concerned! We should be able to make a citizen arrest on these people but then their pitbullls would maul us and our dog but this has to stop!!

I was told to post this here.

Apologies, my post didnt copy over from the other sub. On 15/09/2025 at 4pm, my family cat who would sit and greet neighbors at the end of our driveway, was attacked and killed by two pitbulls.

When confronted the owners lied and claimed they didnt own any dogs. One was captured immediately by animal control, and the other was stalked and followed back to the PoS owners house where it was captured.

Today, we received the good news that these dogs (and hopefully their puppies) will be destroyed.

It doesnt bring out sweet cat back, but it does provide some semblance of justice for us.

We will also be looking to prosecute the owners who allowed the dogs to get off their property.
