A woman was killed in an apparent dog mauling in Las Vegas on Tuesday, the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department says.

Officers were called to the 4100 block of Penwood Avenue, in a residential neighborhood near Clark High School.

Police say the woman, whom they described as "an elderly female," was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Officers located the dog at a nearby residence and took it into custody without incident and turned over to animal control," Metro officials stated.

Patrol detectives are investigating.

This is a developing story.

Gods beautiful little creatures my ass.

Boy, you really have a lot of hate for these animals, don't you?

Don't blame the breed or the species, it's not their fault that humans have messed with their gene pool so much.

Blame the people who don't take the time to understand the needs and motivations of pit bulls. Blame the people, not the dog.

It's apparent that the grandson and main owner of the dog had no idea how to handle that type of canine properly. He would allow it to run around off leash and I guarantee that the training of the dog was severely lacking.

Jean Michel No I dont hate the animal. It's just that 95% of all the dog attack stories are from that of pit bulls. They apparently are not meant to be a domesticated species anymore than a lion or a jelly fish.

Blame the people who don't take the time to understand the needs and motivations of pit bulls. Blame the people, not the dog.

I GOT AN IDEA! Let's try that logic with great white sharks and salt water crocs.

Arcane Schema Not even close to a good comparison.

Jean Michel · 2022-08-10T22:15:00Z

Jean Michel What really needs to happen is that the breed needs to be better bred, it would not be difficult to breed out behavior that is unwanted.

Pit bulls were initially bred for fighting and until those fighting instincts are bred out they will generally not make good family dogs. Having said that, there are many out there who are working to breed out those negative personality traits.

Anybody who wants to own a pit should make sure that they are only acquiring them from conscientious breeders with a good line that has been bred for a number of generations.

There is a lot of ignorance about the proper way to choose a dog breed for your family. Until that ignorance is erased, these types of attacks will continue to occur.

I do find it interesting that they did not have to shoot the dog.

Jean Michel Maybe Elon Musk Neuralink can put a brain implanted computer chip in the pit bulls to calm them down and remove aggressive behavior.

Maybe the dog found out Grandma was a democrat...still not deserved, though. I would be more for rounding them up and putting liberals in the same place...like Australia...

You ever live with a person with severe dementia? Think about it

Baybars · 2022-08-10T20:04:16Z

cracker Every American, in fact every person in every nation under the U.S. dollar is living with one particular person suffering from severe dementia.

They don't allow dogs in the Oval Office??

cracker I cared for a family member with dementia. A little over three years of full time, 24/7 attention, care and love.

It changed me as a person.

I'm still an asshole but a much more patient, understanding one.

Forgive me if I came across as un-caring but your comment told me to think about it; an invitation to trouble if I ever heard one.

Baybars Yeah my last partner had frontal temperal lobe dementia took care of her 24/7 for a couple years and i hate to say it but what a relief when she died, You learn alot about the mind.

Baybars · 2022-08-11T21:54:48Z

cracker Sorry that you two had to go through that. I know what you mean about mixed emotions upon their passing.

cracker · 2022-08-15T19:25:22Z

[[cracker] Im not sorry for it and you need not be either it was a lesson I learned very much from.

Most people will never know what its like to help another person thru something like that. Taught me alot about human nature and how the mind is really a fucked up place. It helps me recognize how a person really thinks and how to not get angry with some of the people out there in this world.

Baybars Quote above was means for you not sure why it went back to me.

Sometimes I wonder if certain kinds of animals sense that it's time for someone to die, especially if it's someone they consider to be part of their 'pack.' Animals don't have the attitude about death that we do. What I'm wondering is if some animals that have an aggressive instinct might smell or otherwise sense that death is an impending reality, and instinctively take action to be its agent. It looks like aggression to us, but it might just be part of their equipment, and not an act of aggression at all.

As a matter of fact, wolves do behave in that manner. They will kill an aging alpha in order to declare dominance over the pack. The action has been observed to be a necessary aspect of the pack's survival.

That dog actually did that family a favor because if that guy on the video had just a 5 % understanding of what that lady was going thru he would have never left her side

Clearly, preservation of history is not what Israel is after. Which is ironic, if their goal was true.
