Tennessee infant, toddler killed by family pitbull dogs, sheriff says SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. - A sheriff's office in Tennessee said an infant and toddler were killed by their family dogs. A five-month-old baby and a two-year-old child have been killed by family pet pit bulls at a home outside Memphis, Tennessee. The children were pronounced dead at the scene following an attack on Wednesday in Shelby County at around 3.30pm. The mother was also injured in the attack and was taken to hospital in critical condition, according to WMC. On Wednesday night, the Shelby County Sheriff tweeted that “detectives are on scene at the 700 block of Sylvan Road near Shelby Forest State Park, where at about 3:30 pm two family dogs attacked a 2-year-old girl, a 5-month-old boy, and their mother in the home. The children were pronounced deceased on the scene.” “Shelby County Fire paramedics transported the mother in critical condition to Regional One Health. This remains an active investigation,” the office added. The dogs are now in the care of animal control, according to ABC 24. The public information officer at the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office told The Independent that they have no further information on the attack “at this time” other “than from our original tweets”. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) states on its website that “some pit bulls were selected and bred for their fighting ability. That means that they may be more likely than other breeds to fight with dogs” but that “it doesn’t mean that they can’t be around other dogs or that they’re unpredictably aggressive”. The organisation went on to note that “other pit bulls were specifically bred for work and companionship. These dogs have long been popular family pets, noted for their gentleness, affection and loyalty. And even those pit bulls bred to fight other animals were not prone to aggressiveness toward people. Dogs used for fighting needed to be routinely handled by people; therefore aggression toward people was not tolerated”. #pitbull #pitbulls #pitbullattack https://www.instagram.com/p/CjZM94VLlhx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m not ready to thank you for making me stronger by experiencing you letting your dog free when it was clearly barking viciously at me! I told you I was afraid, I told you Not to let go of your arm, I told you I would wait in the Jeep for you instead, but you ignored my fear and let the dog loose and it attacked me viciously! Why did you do it? Why did you let it loose? Why are you saying you were indoors the whole time ? Your lies make no difference, you couldn’t control your dog, even when you jumped on him trying to take him off my leg, it got away from you three more times biting me in three different areas of my body, tearing my clothes and my shoes! I loved you once as my friend, No more! I saw your madness that night, your retorts and your blame! You were never a friend to me, my kids told me so, perhaps they sensed your true vibes. Im not interested in convincing anyone of anything, I’m just telling it like it went down! I will rise again and I will never forget! Betrayal is worse than the Bites! #sisepuede #betrayal #dogattack #pitbullattack #friendbetrayal #fighter (at Indianapolis, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4uo_XhgEG1/?igshid=xw7vskwuxvwm

You can’t really see it but my right arm is all bruised up and it hurts. I’m so glad I wore my leather jacket that night. My right arm and my creative hand, have defensive wounds from blocking the dog from biting my face. This is the third violent physical contract. I thought E wouldn’t be able to get it off me after the third attack, once it let go of my right foot, his teeth went directly through my shoes, he rippled the shoe in shreds. I got up and it came for my face as soon as I shook it off me, E took control of it finally, and I ran towards my Jeep. #dogbite #pitbullattack @lagreenrisa @phoenixtothevoid (at Indianapolis, Indiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4tyl1rg7A7/?igshid=1o1npyh1vxn
