WKRN EXCLUSIVE: Animal control says there will likely be “vicious dog” charges in connection with two pit bulls who attacked 80 year old Miriam Coes and her neighbor Patricia Martin.
“I fell on the ground and when I fell on the ground one dog went behind me and grabbed the back of my coat and I said I’ve got to get up from here because if I don’t get up these dogs are going to kill me. I got down, I grabbed my food and I threw it to the dog and said take this, take this. So the dog grabbed the food and he ran with the food and the other dog ran behind. That gave me enough time to get to my car and close my door before one of the dogs came back after me again,” Martin said.

Pit bulls should be banned in EVERY state. Since Animal Control refuses to come to our neighborhoods to pick these dangerous animals after we call saying they’re loose and not on leashes, the only right thing to do is ban the pit bulls.
The owners can cry all they want but if they’d keep their dogs in a secure fence or on leashes, nobody would be attacked by them and this wouldn’t be an issue. But since they’re too lazy to walk their dogs on a leash or buy a secure fence, they shouldn’t even have a say in the matter.
Pit bulls are NOT dangerous. The reason they’re incessantly killed is close-minded people like you.
The only way they’d become dangerous is if they were raised that way. Domesticated dogs are not bred to be dangerous.
Punish the deed, not the breed.
