Pit bull ownership comes with huge responsibility - and owning more than one pit bull comes with even more responsibility, warned the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA).

The warning comes after three dogs attacked a 28-year-old woman in Woodlands on Friday.
Police spokesperson Colonel Robert Netshiunda said the woman was found dead lying on the side of the road at the corner of Atherstone and Norwich Crescent.

According to police reports, the victim was attacked by dogs and later succumbed to the injuries sustained.

That must have been grim, the victim was mauled so badly she died on the spot.
What an a-hole dog owner.
"Caroline Smith, general manager of the Durban and Coast SPCA, stated that three pit bulls were involved in the incident, adding that the dogs were initially at large or loose on the street and not confined to their property.

An SPCA Inspector, Sabelo Ngcobo, was called to the scene during the early hours of Friday.

“Upon arrival, the woman was already deceased, and one pit bull had been shot by a security guard. "

A 57-year-old man has lost feeling in his arm after he was viciously mauled by two pit bulls while on his way to work on Wednesday.

A machinist by trade, Perumal Naidoo, had just left his Arena Park home on the way to work when he noticed two pit bulls approaching him.

Naidoo said that as the two medium-sized, light brown, pit bulls approached him, he recognised that the dogs looked to have been well taken care of, with one even sporting a brown collar.

Naidoo’s daughter explained that without provocation, they then ran up to him and both violently attacked him.

Nooit.
They were probably just hungry after saving children all day and the dumb assh*le who got bitten tempted them by making biltong sounds. Also, muh owners.

A 68-year-old Brackenhurst woman, Jean Grieves, was attacked by two pit bulls while trying to protect her dog, Winston, during their morning walk on July 17.

Jean said she and Winston left their home in Kalkoentjie Road for their regular walk through the neighbourhood.

They walked along Lilly Road, Vermooten Street, and then Lotus Street, where Winston always enjoyed visiting the rabbits, before continuing through Harlequin Street, Felicia Street and Columbine Avenue.

They would usually stop at Adelicious Coffee and Treat so Winston could greet the people he had come to know over the years. However, on that morning Winston led Jean into Candlewood Street near the corner of Vermooten Street instead.

“I noticed a white vehicle parked on the left-hand side of the road and an open gate at a nearby property. I was watching the gate when I suddenly saw a black pit bull rushing towards us. I picked Winston up in my arms, but the dog jumped at me and attacked us.
