According to the " Daily Mail " on October 7 local time, a tragedy occurred in Millington, Shelby County, Tennessee, USA. Lilly Jane Bennard, a 52-year-old girl, and Hollace Dean Bennard, a 55-month-old boy, were attacked by two pit bulls raised at home. After the police arrived, they announced that the siblings died on the spot.
This is the pets raised by the two poor children, Cheech and Mia, who have been living in their family for 8 years and have been given the title of "house lions", but now they have become tragedy makers.
reported that it is not clear why the two pit bulls suddenly became aggressive. According to the mother's best friend, the two dogs have never attacked people before. "Even if there is only a little bit of violence, the mother of the child will not let them get close to their children." As for how the two dogs will be dealt with in the future, it is impossible to determine now, but they have been taken away by the local animal management department. Kirstie Jane Bennard, 30, is also injured in the accident. It is reported that Christine fought with her dog for more than 10 minutes and tried to save her child, but she did not succeed .
According to the family's story, Korsty's "whole body, including her face, has countless bite marks and wounds", and "her arms and legs are now completely entangled with bandages." However, the family also revealed that although Costie is still in the hospital and is "critical", she should not suffer from disability, "but her heartbreak will never heal again."
It is reported that Kosti has learned the news of the death of her two children, and she is trying to accept this reality. "She is a hero and has never given up on her efforts to save her children," Kosti's friend said.
This is where Bennard's family lives. A single-family villa worth US$360,000 (about RMB 2.56 million) near Memphis is relatively far away from other residences. This is also the reason why they can raise more ferocious pit bulls and will not invade others. But unexpectedly, the two "evil dogs" who could have guarded the house and guarded the house actually bit their little owner to death.
The father of two children, Colby Bennard is safe and sound. He seemed to be at home as the head of the electrical distributor at the time of the incident.
It is reported that the domestic pit bull attacks the owner is still under investigation, and the police have also refused to make further comments.
Many people are deeply saddened by the tragedy that happened in the Bennard family. The two cute children ended their young lives like this, which is really sad and regretful.
At the same time, there has been heated discussion on social media about whether it is possible to raise pit bulls in families. Most people do not support raising such extremely aggressive dogs. American columnist Bethany Mandel wrote an article hoping that relevant departments can legislate to prohibit raising pit bulls, especially families with children.
"How many sad things should we witness before we realize the danger of this dog?", "Every breed has its characteristics, and some characteristics will not be eliminated due to the passage of time and human breeding. Pitbulls are born aggressive and fierce."
Bethany also cites a data to illustrate the harm of keeping pit bulls. "Of all domestic dogs in the United States, pit bulls account for only 6%, but they have caused the vast majority of deaths, including attacks on humans and attacks on similar people. In the 16 years since it was counted (2005 to 2020), 568 people in the United States died of dog attacks, 67% of which were caused by pit bulls."
