"She put her body on top of Lilly’s to try and protect her after the attack started," Bennard's uncle by marriage, Jeff Gibson told USA TODAY on Saturday. "Both (dogs) started attacking her while she lay on Lilly."The two children were pronounced dead when officials arrived at the home, the sheriff's office reported.
It was not immediately known what provoked the mauling.The mauling, Gibson said, lasted about 10 minutes.The dogs – two pit bulls that belonged to the family – were euthanized at Memphis Animal Services Thursday.
The family owned the pets, Cheech and Mia, for more than eight years without a violent incident, Kelsey Canfield, the mother's best friend, told Fox News.
"I can promise you those children were her world, and if there was any inkling of danger, she would have never had those dogs near her kids," Canfield told the outlet. "Those children were everything to them, and they just have a really long journey ahead."
How do you feel about PittBull's? I posted this because my wife shared this story with me and my son was just recently participating in a "read to sheltered dogs" event where you could adopt a dog (I know brilliant).
I've heard the arguments that PittBull's get a bad wrap, but it seems time and time again they are the focal point of dogs who do these horrible acts. [Reply]
I'm drunk at work, and I'm gonna say it. FCK all the dogs ever in the world.....ever. I hate those shiitting in your living room muther f'ers. If you let your dog lick your face you're a weirdo [Reply]

I gotta get out of the hood. A couple of these dudes could just hop my fence and kill copper in 30 seconds when he goes out for his night piss.
I've seen it almost happen before. Dipshit neighbor was breeding them in his basement and had two puppies, who were about halfway grown. They jumped out of his car and copper got into a screaming match with them at the front gate.
Scared the shit out of me. Full grown pits would have easily cleared the gate and ate him. I remember delivering mail and seeing one of them jump high enough it's head cleared a 6-8 foot fence. #chargedbythreepitsandlived [Reply]

I know you grew up on farms so you probably had outdoor cats, which makes a bit more sense, but any of these ****ers living in the city who just let their cats roam outside won’t get any sympathy from me when their little Boots gets mauled by a coyote or dog.
With as much time as you spend online, I’d expect you to be more informed.
You’re probably going to spend 10 hours today online, trolling random message boards and cooking up some Star Wars video that no one will give a shit about. You could have taken 20 seconds to Google this and learned something new without needing to be spoon fed some solid knowledge. There’s even an entire Wiki on it:
You’re a dipshit, dude, and your reading comprehension is garbage.
Click one of the links I just posted and try to put some wrinkles in your brain.
Insects were definitely a reach. I’m in Florida so cats typically impact the mammal, bird and reptile population here. I was trying to think of what types of animals a cat would kill in Missouri/Kansas and figured y’all probably don’t have reptiles like we do and decided to replace them with insects.
In general, though, yes, I think we should be a little worried about insects. Studies show that insect populations are declining 2% per year. Anyone who’s taken a biology course knows how important those organisms at the bottom of the food chain are.
But in regards to this conversation, you are right. Cats don’t really significantly impact the insect population and it was dumb of me to mention them.

Geez. I would rather have the birds than cats.
Free roaming cats should be banned.
Fun fact about the dark ages. As the plague started to spread, the simpleton populace thought it was a curse brought on by the devil and witches, and also believed that cats were agents of the devil and witches. So they killed as many cats as they could. Unfortunately, with the cat population devastated, rats flourished. And of course, it was the rats that carried the fleas that carried the plague.
Oops.
I will say this about cats, though. They are vicious predators. I'm sure I've told this story before, but many years ago I lived in an apartment in Chicago that was infested with mice. Traps and poison proved ineffective, so I convinced my roommates that we should get a cat. The next morning I walked out of my bedroom and saw a small, slick-looking gray thing on the carpet about the size of my thumb. It was the remnants of a mouse. The cat had chewed its legs off and somehow skinned it. She was sitting about three feet away from it, with a look on her face that said "you'll never see another one of those motherfuckers in here." And we never did.
Sure, cats kill birds, and all other sorts of things. But that's kind of their job. [Reply]
