Pit Bull Kills Baby Sea Lion

A pit bull belonging to a stepdaughter of former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords broke away from its owner after knocking her down at a beach on Saturday afternoon around 1:42 p.m. PST. The woman was not able to regain control of the dog until after it had attacked a baby sea lion resting on the shore line.Witnesses tried to help the baby sea lion, but it died from its injuries.No charges will be filed in this incident because it was an “accident,” said Police Sgt. Eric Lee of the Laguna Beach Police Department.I have owned Pit Bulls. It doesn't matter how you train them, they have a high prey drive. Just like when a big cat sees something run, its prey drive takes over and it automatically takes chase. My lil brother was attacked by one of our pits for no damn reason when he was about 7yo playing in the sandbox. It ran up behind him, knocked him over and bit his shoulder and face, drawing blood. A local area family had to put their pit down because it latched onto their 6yo daughters arm and would not release until they strangled it.Pits are a breed purposefully created for dog fighting. They would not exist on this planet if it werent for the breeders trying to create an optimal fighting dog. A pool of blood from the sea lion is left on the shoreline as Kelly and the dog walk off. The sea lion, which isn't moving by that point, later died, according to The Los Angeles Times. It was removed from the area where it had beached itself, which may have been an indication that it was sick before the brutal encounter.The dog lives with Giffords' stepdaughter in Houston, according to the paper. No citations were issued because "it was legal for her to have the dog on the beach this time of year, and she did have it leashed. It was so strong that it pulled free of her when it saw the [sea lion]," Kravetz told The L.A. Times.
