This dog bit a 2-year-old girl on Monday.
Buena Vista Township, MI - A family dog mauled a 2-year-old girl on Monday, which marks the second time the dog had attacked the toddler.
The girl’s family members said the dog belonged to someone who no longer lived in the home, but that they kept it because “I didn’t want to put her on the street, because I would get in trouble for that,” said the girl’s father, Mitchell Nicholas.
The dog had bitten the girl before, and the girl’s parents claim they wanted the dog removed from their home, but – they couldn’t cough up the $135 animal removal fee that local animal control authorities charge to come and take away the animal.
“The first time he attacked her, we called Animal Control four times, they said they need $135 just to come and get her,” said Mr. Nicholas.
$135 – oh boo hoo, that’s a f*cking fortune. Apparently a child’s life is worth less than that paltry amount to the idiotic parents.
Guess what, parents? You could have advertised the stupid mutt for FREE on Craigslist and given it to some double-digit IQ’ed mouth-breather like yourselves. Or you could have – and should have – taken the damn thing out back and shot it the first time it attacked your daughter.
But Theresa Marshall, manager of the Saginaw Community Villas where the attack took place, said she’s never heard of such a removal fee, and that Saginaw County Animal Control officers drive through the complex to remove strays for free all the time.
This is why I have no sympathy for parents who lose children to family dog attacks. Because they know what they’re exposing their children to, and they don’t care.
The dog’s breed has not been determined – some people are calling it a “pit bull mix,” others say it’s a Rhodesian Ridgeback. It looks pit bullish to me. What do you think?
The dog bit the girl’s head several times. Her father says she is doing “OK.”
The dog is being held in quarantine at Saginaw County Animal Control.

Why didn’t they just chop its head off or feed it anti-freeze. They live near one of the great lakes, just row out a ways, chain some cement blocks to the neck and dump overboard. At least they didn’t just turn it loose to be yet another stray.
In addition to a handgun (I live in Florida), I also carry a short-handled axe in my car. I keep hoping I’ll come across a pit bull attacking someone one day and will have the opportunity to chop that monster to pieces — bit, by bit!
I’ve been told that a fire extinguisher is good protection against pits. I need to get one for my car.
The child should be removed from the home — by CPS.
If you can’t afford to dispose of the dog properly, just slip it some xylitol-sweetened dark chocolate-covered raisins. Problem solved. Don’t just whine about how you “can’t” protect your child! Losers.
Also, I would think $135 to get rid of a dog would be quickly made up for in savings on food for the dog and medical care for the child.
One more comment, and then I’ll stop.
What they should have done was start circulating a message online that the dog will be put down unless the owners can come up with money to find it a new home. Be sure to mention that it’s a pit or pit mix (it looks it to me). They’d rake in more donations than they know what to do with from pit nutters wanting to save the sweet, misunderstood child-mauler.
The dog’s breed is USELESS. It is under the breed called USELESS. Take it out back and have it shot, then the dog’s breed would change and be classified as DEAD.
Certainly looks like a ridgeback, could have some pit in it too. Or a mix-talk about an unholy alliance. Rhodesian Ridgebacks were bred to kill…lions. Yeah, great dog to house with a toddler. When the person who owned the dog left they should have told him/her to take the hellhound with them or dispose of it then.
What a lousy excuse for a parent. I would have taken my Louisville slugger and done away with that four legged piece of crap in a nano second. There would have been no second incident.
All the father had to do was, take the dog to the backdoor of the nearest Chinese Diner with a large bottle of soy sauce and “POOF”, problem solved.
Looks like a black mouth cur too kind of. I’m not a dog breed expert by any means though. It’s most likely a mutt.
If that were my child that dog will die a slow and painful death!
Amen, Rat Lover! If that dog had attacked one of my children, I would have strangled it with my bare hands.
I’d fire up the backyard grill and let my child do to the dog what the dog did to the child — bite. Bon apetit!
rat poison works perfectly too thats the kind of death I am searching for! >:) although I like S’s idea better.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
>:)
I agree with you…..slow and painful is what it deserves….
on another note, the parents are negligent for allowing this to happen to the child TWICE….child protective services needs to take that little girl away from the family for good…
This is happened in Saginaw County, Michigan, where Kevin Wilken, affirmed pit nutter, is in charge of Animal Control. Here’s what those commenting had to say about Mr. Wilken:
CarlisleHall: Sounds like Animal Control is playing a game of CYA. The grandmother would not have lied about something like that. Animal Control in Saginaw, like Animal Control everywhere else, is a totally worthless department primarily comprised of dog freaks whose only interest is protecting dogs. Cities/counties need to get rid of “animal control” and hire old-fashioned dog catchers, people who are more concerned about the safety of human beings than they are about DOGS!
MarkTower (reporter who wrote article): On what are you basing this opinion that Saginaw County’s animal control department is “worthless”?
CarlisleHall: I am basing it on the fact that I have never known anyone in charge of an animal control department who was worth two hoots in Hades. Instead of hiring people whose concern is for the safety of the public, counties/cities inevitably end up with dog freaks and pit nutters whose only concern is saving dogs. A case in point is Pam Peebles, director of Animal Control in Springfield, Mass., and, unfortunately, Peebles isn’t the exception, she is the norm. Here’s the link:

… how can you, Mr. Tower, or anyone else, expect someone like Kevin Wilken to take action when a pit bull is involved when every time there is a pit bull attack in the area, we see Wilken’s photo holding his precious pit bull and saying, “It’s one of the sweetest dogs I have ever come across. A lot of pit bulls are like that.” A person who thinks pit bulls are the “sweetest dogs” he’s ever come across has no business in animal control!
For some reason, the link above about Pam Peebles doesn’t work, so try the one below. In this case, some savvy readers caught Peebles telling outright lies. At one point, she claimed a golden retriever put a woman in the hospital for THREE days, then was forced to backtrack and say the woman only required an ER visit. Dog haters should unite to get people like Pam Peebles and Kevin Wilken out of animal control jobs. The operative word in Animal Control is “CONTROL,” as in “pest CONTROL.” The job of an animal control officer is to protect people from dangerous animals, primarily dogs, not rescue and place dogs for adoption.

Yes, pit-wits often work as Animal No-Control Officers.
In November 2012, upstate N.Y. ACO Jessica Ebbs-Stankaitis was mauled by one of her sweet, misunderstood pittie-witties:
