2023 NY - A family living in public housing lost their beloved dog, Georgie, to a neighbor's illegal pit bull which invaded their apartment and tore poor Georgie apart. He had to be put down. Small dogs like Georgie are legal in public housing, but dogs over 23 lbs or any pit bull are illegal. The public housing authority did nothing about numerous complaints about the pit bull.
2021 FL - A woman kept her rescue cats in a screened in porch behind a privacy fence at the end of a dead end street. Two pit bulls invaded her yard, broke through her screens to kill one her cats. This is Florida, so nothing will be done thanks to the work of a lawyer named Fred Kray who worked assiduously to make sure all dangerous dogs can get three "kills" (his terminology) before anything will be done to stop the carnage and devastation.
2020 AL - A pit bull broke through a screen into a home to grab an elderly chihuahua, take him out of the house and kill him. Nothing was done.
2020 CA - Two pit bulls invaded the yard of two large, elderly mixed breed dogs and killed them is an horrific, outrageous, unacceptable attack. Animal control doesn't know that it is supposed to put dogs like this down immediately and thinks giving a warning (of what?) to the owners of the killer pit bulls is what they ought to do. Animals that invade a yard or home to attack and kill for fun are unacceptable as pets. This happens all the time, of course, this story got attention because the devastated family posted graphic photos on a community facebook page making it harder to ignore.

2017 MA - A pit bull invaded a woman's apartment and immediately killed her cat. The apartment complex had a ban on pit bulls so the entitled pit bull owner lied, saying the pit bull was an emotional support dog so the manager had to allow it to stay. If the pit bull owner had not decided the law doesn't apply to her, Gem the cat would be alive today.

2015 OH - A pit bull attacked an elderly woman's caregiver outside her home. When the 84 year old woman opened her door to help her caregiver, the pit bull invaded the house, attacked the elderly woman and killed her 2 year old pekingese. The women are traumatized. The pit bull owner gets to keep her disgusting mauler in the neighborhood even though it is known that if it gets loose, it will seek to kill people and pets. Ohio clearly values killer dogs and their owners over children, pets and the elderly.

2015 NS - The St. Mary’s University student was about to leave for work when a pit bull showed up and chased, Diamond, her pomeranian from their yard into the living room of her home on Fourth Street in Dartmouth. She tried desperately to save her little dog whom she regarded as her child, but the pit bull ran off with her baby's lifeless body. The pit bull owners feel their pit isn't aggressive because it didn't also try to kill the people in their own home and that their killer pit bull shouldn't be put down. The pit bull had been recently bought from Homeward Bound Rescue (yeah, it was homeward bound alright.) (This attack is also posted in the list of recently adopted pit bulls that seriously attack.)

Rastus, the dog, survived but will never be the same.
