Pit Fighters

A 18-year-old in Woodbine, New Jersey was mauled by the pit bulls he was trying to teach how to fight. (One can assume these dogs were a little more menacing than the pups in the photo.)

The 18-year-old was upstairs with his dogs, “teaching them the ways of a fighting pit bull.” Ahh, yes, the ancient art of pit bull fighting. I think Buddhist monks teach that, too. I wonder if he was trained by them?

Anyway, the 18-year-old’s family got the pit bulls off the boy, and barricaded themselves inside the bathroom. They called police, who had to rescue them from the bathroom window because the pit bulls were gnawing through the bathroom door. Action News continues:

The 18-year-old is in bad shape. He was airlifted to the Atlantic City Medical Center, and is in serious condition. Stop reading if you don’t care for the more gruesome details on his injuries…Authorities say the teen was bitten multiple times, and some of his bite wounds are down to the bone. There is no word on the fate of the dogs.

Wait. Did we just get a warning for a description of injuries? And how is there is no word on the fate of the dogs? Are they still gnawing at the bathroom door? Are they roaming the streets, attacking whoever they see? Probably best to stay out of Woodbine for a while.
