Over the years, there are many cannibalism reports from dogs in 20th and 21st century. The most notable cannibalism report in 2005 is the boy being mauled to death by pit bulls. Well, think dogs are not dangerous? Well, think again.
Either good or sad news. Well, for me it is good, because, well, we don't want anymore cannibalism reports from many countries because if there are many reports on that, it really makes me shiver and forces me to grab a revolver.
And to sum it all up, pit bulls must be banned in order to stop cannibalism on people from happening. You may say that Im harsh but hey, you read the news article on the top. Im just worrying for safety sake.
Pit Bulls To Be Destroyed

A Sebastian County judge on Monday granted a motion by prosecutors for the destruction of an adult female pit bull dog and her six puppies.
At a five-minute hearing in Sebastian County Circuit Court, Prosecuting Attorney Steve Tabor asked Judge James Marschewski to order the dogs destroyed for the protection of the public. The dog’s owners, Dustin McKinney, 22, and Shannon Nicole Selig, 22, told the judge they did not object.
The adult dog has attacked and bitten at least three people, and it was trained by McKinney to be aggressive, Tabor said. He also said witnesses for the state were prepared to testify that the mother’s behavior has likely been imprinted on the puppies, and therefore they are likely to grow up to be aggressive as well.
The puppies are about 6 weeks old, according to information their owners provided to police. Kate Myers, executive director of the Sebastian County Humane Society, said previously that she would estimate the puppies’ age at 8-10 months.
The dogs were placed in the care of the Sebastian County Humane Society after the most recent attack. According to a police report, the adult dog bit Sharon Sicard, 45, of Fort Smith on the left leg on April 8, after getting out of its owners’ yard in the 500 block of North 20th Street by jumping over a small chain-link fence.
Doctors at St. Edward Mercy Medical Center packed Sicard’s wound with gauze and referred her to a plastic surgeon.
The adult dog also bit people on March 10 and Sept. 19, the report states. In one of the incidents, it got out of its yard by jumping over the fence, and in the other incident it pushed open a gate in the fence.
McKinney has been seen training the dog to be aggressive, and he “has responded with hostility to individuals challenging his actions,” Tabor’s motion states.
McKinney and Selig also “made remarks to personnel at the Humane Society that they had trained the dog to be aggressive and made light of that fact,” according to the motion.
Marschewski ordered the dogs to be destroyed “in the most humane way possible.”
McKinney and Selig were on suspended sentences for theft convictions when the most recent attack occurred. Tabor has filed petitions for revocation of their suspended sentences, alleging they committed second-degree battery by means of a deadly weapon. A hearing on the petitions has not yet been held.
McKinney and Selig were represented at Monday’s hearing by Paul Hughes of the Sebastian County Public Defender’s Office
