Ban PitBulls

OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA (KOKH) — Oklahoma City police have released body camera footage from the night a 2-year-old girl, Locklynn Rose McGuire, was killed by a pit bull on Nov. 18.

Dog attacks involving powerful breeds like pit bulls are particularly dangerous because of their strength and ability to cause significant harm. Community education, combined with enforcement of leash laws and responsible rehoming practices, is essential to reduce the risk of similar tragedies.

Hernandez said overall dog bite reports in the area have declined in recent months, and he credits a series of harsher penalties approved by the City Council last year.

The pit bull was one of several that the parents kept in both their house and the shelter they run directly across the street.

Ohio lawmakers are advocating for tougher penalties on negligent dog owners following a series of vicious dog attacks, including one in the Tri-State.

Neighbor Brian Kirby told Fox 8 News that he got home from work and "saw a woman in the middle of the street screaming." After asking if she needed help, Kirby told the outlet that the woman ran towards the back of the home, and then he soon heard sirens approaching.

The press release said that the Tullahoma Police Department immediately arrived at the scene and "observed the pitbulls actively mauling the infant."

The statement issued by Northcott's office described the scene of the incident as "brutal."

A video of the incident shows the dog grabbing the boy by the ears and even dragging him along the ground.

A pitbull dog, which was taken out in Istanbul without a muzzle, attacked its owner and bit his arms.

A pitbull dog, taken outside without a muzzle in Istanbul, attacked its owner. The moments when the dog suddenly launched the attack were recorded by a citizen with a mobile phone camera. In the footage shared on Asayiş Berkemal, the dog is seen biting the owner's arm, and the young man is heard desperately shouting, "Help! Someone help."

TRIED TO INTERVENE WITH WATER

The footage recorded second by second with a mobile phone shows the dog biting the young man's arms. During this time, a person nearby attempted to intervene by throwing water at the dog, which caught attention.

TRIED TO GET INTO A CAR

In the moments of horror, the injured young man tried to save himself by getting into a car waiting on the street. However, the moments when the vehicle was moving at that time were also captured on camera.

IT IS ILLEGAL TO WALK WITHOUT A MUZZLE

According to Article 3 of the Temporary Provisions of the Animal Protection Law No. 5199; it is prohibited to walk dangerous dog breeds such as Pitbulls and Terriers without a muzzle and leash. It is also forbidden to bring these dogs into crowded places, such as parks and children's playgrounds, and fines are imposed for violations.

MARION, Ohio (WSYX) — A Marion man has pleaded guilty in the mauling death of his infant son by the family's pit bull last year.

The Marion County prosecutor's office announced in a statement Thursday that Blake Bates had pleaded guilty to several charges, including involuntary manslaughter.

Bates' dog "Kilo" mauled 6-month-old Royal Bates at their home in Marion in April of last year. The boy died at a hospital a short time later.

The boy's mother, Alyssa Smith, has pleaded guilty to child endangering and awaits sentencing.

Prosecutors revealed that Bates had ignored warnings about the dog's aggression after a previous attack on a child from the neighborhood months earlier.

"This guilty plea holds Bates accountable for a preventable horror that stole an innocent baby's life," Marion County Prosecutor Raymond Grogan said.

On the day that Kilo killed Bates' son, Bates and Smith had "left the infant unattended with only a young child nearby," according to the statement. The other child was Smith's child, and, the statement said, "was incapable of proper supervision."

The dog was later euthanized.

Bates faces up to three years in prison for manslaughter and additional sentencing for prior crimes, including strangulation and attempted escape.
