i know all the defenses to why pit bulls always seem to be the bad guys. and i am sorry to all the defenders, but it is not a coincidence every damn time. i am a dog lover! i also have read hundreds of these stories. it IS THE BREED! i don't care what anyone says. they need regulating. in England they are not even allowed. everyone of this opinion is not just some ignorant fool who is bigoted against these dogs. oh and there is "it's always the owner's fault" theory too. in part, maybe.
no doubt the dog was jealous of new baby. that only explains this particular attack/mauling/death.

Newborn Attacked By Pit Bull Dies
Police: 3-Day-Old Baby Attacked In Jacksonville Home Sunday Night
Monday, October 25, 2010
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- A newborn baby has died after being attacked by a pit bull at a Jacksonville home Sunday night.
Channel 4 spoke with the baby's father on Monday night. He said he and his family are devastated by the loss of their 3-day-old baby boy.
Police said they were called to the dog attack about 10 p.m. Jacksonville Fire Rescue said the baby was rushed to Shands Jacksonville Medical Center.
The baby's father told Channel 4 news that he and his wife left their baby for just a few seconds to use the bathroom. The father said that is when the dog attacked the baby.
The father said he and his family are grieving over the tremendous loss of their child.
The father said the family raised the pit bull since it was a puppy and that the dog never showed any signs of aggression toward anyone in their family.
An Animal Control spokesman said animal workers euthanized the red, young pit bull that was brought in Sunday night after it attacked the baby. Police, animal control officials and the Department of Children and Families are all investigating.
In a separate case Monday night, Manatee County deputies fatally shot a pit bull that charged them after attacking a 5-year-old boy in Bradenton. Authorities said the boy tried to climb a tree to get away, but the dog bit into his arm and tried to pull him down.
