Six-year-old Isis Krieger of Anchorage, Alaska, was mauled by her parents’ pit bull on August 12, 2008. The girl and her 2-year-old sister were playing with the dog when it attacked. It bit her neck, breaking it and ultimately leaving her brain dead. She passed away on August 18, 2008, after life support was terminated. (Click here to read the article.)
Alaska is a one bite state. The authorities have been calling this an “accident” and announced there would be no prosecutions even before the girl died. The one bite rule was formulated for English villagers in the 1700s. There were no pit bulls in those days. Maybe it’s time for a change.
