| The American Pit Bull (Banned In The UK) |
An American Pit Bull Dog has been destroyed by the Police in Davaentry,
Northamptonshire, United Kingdom for mauling a six month-old baby girl, who
later died a result of the gruesome injuries she sustained during
the attack.
Under the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act
of Britain, ownership of any breed listed for fear of public safety, such as
the one that attacked the little girl was prohibited from being brought to into
the country.
The Daily
Mail reports that the animal was destroyed last Friday after attacking
the baby girl while her grandmother was caring for her; and despite frantic
attempts to pry the baby from the dog's jaws, she died as a result of gruesome
injuries.
“We can today reveal the outcome
of that post mortem has shown the dog was an American pit bull, a prohibited
breed under the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act.
“This continues to be a complex
and highly unusual investigation which has required significant resource within
Force and drawn on national expertise in the area of dangerous dogs.
“But at the heart of it is a baby
girl whose life has tragically been taken away in the most horrific of
circumstances,' said Chief Inspector Tom Thompson of Northamptonshire.
An inquest into the infant's death
will be held next week.
