Marauding pit bulls attack six

[Lazymeatball]

haha, bulldogs jaw are completely screwed up. They are an orthodontist's dream, as they usually have incredible underbites or their teeth just stick straight out. I woouldn't worry to much about getting bit by one of them as their teeth usually don't line up. I'm referring to modern day English bulldogs. Their middle age predecessors were pretty dangerous though , as they used to fight bulls and bears (hence the name).

I seem to have heard before that some dogs have some sort of anatomy that lets their jaws "lock," so that even when they're dead they can still be hanging on.

Pit bulls do NOT have locking jaws. No dog of any breed has ever been found to possess a mechanism in their jaw which would allow them to "lock" their top and bottom jaw together. There is no such thing as a locking jaw!

Taken from here. Not a very credible site, but I highly doubt that pitbulls can lock their jaws. I think they just have extremely strong jaws.

How long has the pitbull breed been around? Maybe they research it's evolution and prevent them from being breeded further. Maybe require that all pitbulls be neutered and/or being given some type of mellowing drugs. I'm sure all of this has been brought up after an attack.

Well, they are being made illegal in some communities. And people with pit bulls that go on rampages are being prosecuted good and hard in some localities, and their claims of self defense or whatever being looked at with much greater scrutiny.

This happened a couple miles from my house. A couple days later there was another attack in nearby Carpentersville. An epidemic.
