Waukegan - Two leashed pit bulls were being walked past a fence-in yard and pulled a small dog named Gus through the fence and severely mauled him. Gus’ vertebra was cracked, he lost an eye, his jugular vein was cut. Gus’ owner saved Gus' life, but the veterinary costs are astronomical.

</tbody></table>
Presumably because in Waukegan dangerous dogs are put down, animal control and police refused to do their job and had the audacity to say that little Gus provoked the pit bulls by barking at them from inside his own yard. So Waukegan has put itself in the position of claiming that pit bulls that can’t be controlled even when they are leashed and still manage to pull a little dog out through a fence and inflict massive trauma and permanent damage aren’t dangerous.<br />
<br />
Not only that, Police Sergeant Dennis Rosch is claiming that a pit bull owner that can’t control his dog even when it is on a leash and separated by a fence from another dog was acting responsibly. That is the height of irresponsibility topped only by the fact that he chose to keep the pit bulls he is unable to control after the attack.<br />
<br />
Waukegan is going to review its dangerous dog ordinance. Waukegan dog laws were last revised in 2012 after a child was attacked by a pit bull in the 5th ward. Revisions were aimed at regulating back yard breeders. But, Waukegan chose not to implement breed specific laws for pit bulls, despite aldermen and animal control both stating that Waukegan’s dangerous dog problem is about pit bulls.<br />
From articles at the time:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"We deal with dangerous dogs. Waukegan is known for them. Unfortunately, we are a town for pit bulls." - AC officer Nicole Garza</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
‘This law was made specifically for people who are just plain irresponsible,” said 1st Ward Ald. Sam Cunningham. “The unfortunate part is people have really become fascinated with owning pit bulls. (Those) irresponsible owners are causing havoc in the city of Waukegan. ... This is a good ordinance for us.”’</blockquote>
<br />
And before that? Waukegan dangerous dog laws were reviewed in 2008 after pit bull attack in which 2 pit bulls seriously mauled a 19 year old woman after they broke free from their leashes, but the city leaders decided not to implement a pit bull ban. They decided to modify their breed neutral dangerous dog laws instead.<br />
<br />
From news report at the time:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“Unlike other nearby towns, Waukegan does not have any ordinances specific to pit bull ownership. Residents along the street say they will be at the city council meeting Monday to demand something be done.”</blockquote>
<br />
And before that? In October, 2006 waukegan city lawmakers resolved to strengthen Waukegan’s dangerous dog ordinance after two pit bulls escaped an apartment by forcing open a window, going to a park and severely mauling a little girl playing in the park by “playing tug-of war” with her little body. Still city lawmakers did not opt for restrictions on pit bulls. Instead, they crafted the dangerous dog law they have today, and which animal control and the police have failed in their responsibility to enforce.<br />
<br />
From reporting in 2006:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“…the attack has renewed aldermanic debate about dangerous dog legislation and pit bulls as pets.<br />‘I’ve seen that our officers have shot more than a handful of these dogs over the last year,’ Waukegan Police Department Commander Mark Stevenson said. ‘So it seems to be a pattern that obviously these dogs are dangerous.’”</blockquote>
<br />
And before that? In February 2006, just months before this girl’s attack in October 2006, Waukegan city lawmakers considered implementing a pit bull ban due to the great number of recent pit bulls attacks. They failed to follow through.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
2003 Aug - Waukegan Police officer was attacked by two stray pit bulls in August and required treatement for injuries to his hand. One of the dogs was later shot and killed by police when it attacked again as they attempted to seize it.<br />2005 Jul - A Waukegan police officer, responding to a report about a stray pit bull chasing a teenage boy on Winhaven Drive, was forced to fire a shot at the pit bull when it charged at him.<br />2005 Aug - 49-year-old Beach Park woman was attacked by a pit bull on the 2500 block of North McAree Road. The woman told police she was walking down the street when the dog ran from its yard, lunged at her and bit her on the right hand before being chased off by a bystander.<br />2005 Sep - Police seized a pit bull and a rottweiler that injured each other in a fight in a garage on Wadsworth Road. In that incident, the pit bull reportedly was on the loose and chased two girls to the roof of a car before attacking the chained rottweiler.</blockquote>
Despite there being persistent problems with dangerous pit bulls in Waukegan, city lawmakers, police and animal control have consistently chosen to stick their heads in the sand. They will once again attempt to modify dangerous dog laws and once again, it will not work, because they don’t have the courage to address the problem head on and regulate pit bulls.<br />

<br />
In the complaint, which was filed recently in Will County, Sarah Fazzini claims she was "viciously" attacked by the pit bull at the shelter in July of 2017 while she was dropping off dog food and other items, the report stated. The pit bull allegedly bit her right hand and injured it to the point that it still causes her pain and will continue to do so in the future, the report added.<br />
<br />
Fazzini alleges that she did not provoke the attack, and her lawsuit cites Illinois law that holds a dog owner responsible if the animal bites or attacks someone without provocation, the report stated. The shelter and Fazzini's lawyer did not return the Southtown's messages for comments.<br />

<br />
Police were alerted by a neighbor who saw the pit bull attacking while out walking his own dog. After police arrived, the pit bull continued acting aggressively and police shot and killed it. The police reported that the pit bull appeared well-fed and was well cared for. There were no previous complaints about the dog from neighbors to police or animal control.<br />
<br />
"It was pretty horrific," said Deputy Chief Shawn Schuldt of the Alsip Police Department. "If I go through the rest of my career without seeing something like this, that would be a good thing. I feel extremely bad for the family and we offer them our condolences."<br />
<br />
The most recent serious dog attack in Alsip previous to this was also perpetrated by a pit bull. Please read the reporting on that attack <a href="http://pitbullattacksinillinois.blogspot.com/2015/05/may-06-2015-alsip-pit-bull-seriously.html">HERE</a>. The Chicago Tribune treated the reporting as if the fate of the pit bull was more important than the welfare of the victim or the safety of the neighborhood.<br />

Theo was being walked on a leash by a mother and two girls aged 7 and 9 who saw their puppy mauled to death. <br />

</tbody></table>
Neighbors say that the pit bull has attacked before. The poor mother and former owner of Theo believes that DuPage animal control will work with her to get rid of the dangerous pit bull. They won't help her. They actively promote pit bulls and they are probably a big reason a pit bull was in the community in the first place.<br />
<br />
Wheaton was listed among the "top 25 highest earning towns" on CNNMoney in 2010. Today it has a median family income of $107,763. There are likely no backyard breeders or dogfighters in Wheaton. The pit bulls are likely coming from rescues and shelters that may even import fighting dogs from outside the county and sell them as great family pets to Wheaton residents.<br />
<br />
As the pit bull population rises, so will the number of serious attacks in even well-heeled areas of DuPage County.<br />

Illinois Pitbull Attackshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03008431142737111049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7929805882200272780.post-41530313721968464912017-11-12T21:57:00.001-06:002017-11-16T09:52:41.717-06:002017 Quincy Pit Bull Kills Family Member in FebruaryQuincy - On February 27th of this year 21 year-old Jamie Owsley was killed by a pit bull in his own home. The local and state news outlets reported virtually nothing on the fatal attack and did no follow-ups on the attack at all. They failed to confirm that the cause of death was the dog attack, calling it "an apparent dog attack." The local news outlets failed to report that the killer dog was a family pit bull that the victim routinely slept with in his bed. Local outlets also failed to report that the killer pit bull had at least 3 reported bites, including one attack on a child and one that required stitches. <br />
<br />
The only reason we know what happened is because DogsBite.org filed a Freedom of Information request, received a full police report on the attack, and reported on Jamie Owsley's death. No local or state news outlet bothered to do the bare minimum of reporting on the attack even after the killer pit bull's owner, KERRY D. TALBURT II, was subsequently arrested and charged with six felonies which included aggravated battery because he allegedly <a href="http://pitbullattacksinillinois.blogspot.com/2017/07/jul-10-2017-quincy-pit-bull-used-as.html">sicced another of his pit bulls on another man in July</a>.<br />

</tbody></table>
The police report states that Jamie Owsley died as a result of "penetrating and crushing injuries to the neck, due to dog attack." The day previous to the attack Owsley reportedly had suffered a seizure. The attack occurred at 3:26am, Sunday February 26. Owsley's roommate, relative, and the owner of Hercules, the killer pit bull, KERRY TALBURT II, woke up when he heard the attack, got Hercules the pit bull off Owsley and called his grandfather who came and took Jamie and Kerry to the hospital where Jamie was pronounced dead.<br />
<br />
The coroner's report states that there were no defensive injuries suggesting that Owsley was alive but incapacitated at the time of the attack, suggesting that he may have been seizing at the time. Owsley regularly slept with Hercules and was well known to the pit bull. Hercules the killer pit bull latched onto Jamie's neck and crushed his "larynx and hyoid bone."<br />
<br />
According to police, Talburt said he owned three pit bulls. He said that Hercules, a 4-year-old male pit bull did not get along with the other two pit bulls, Java (2 yrs) and Hoss (1.5 yrs) so when Hercules was out of his cage, the other two had to be caged. The typical sleeping arrangement was for the other two pit bulls to sleep in their cages in the bedroom with Talburt while Hercules slept in the living room on a bed with Owsley.<br />

West Peoria - Two men saw a pit bull attacking a dachshund that was being walked on a leash by a 70 year old woman. The pit bull climbed over a 5 foot gate to get out of its yard and went after the woman who was walking two dachshunds. The woman fell to the ground trying to get the pit bull off her dog. Two neighbors came out to help and both were bitten, one reportedly was bitten badly.</div>

<br />The dachshund had at least 20 puncture wounds, some of them very large. The victim's daughter says that the pit bull had attacked a German shepherd in May of this year. The victim's daughter also reports that the pit bull owner never even asked if she could help the victim.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<br />The owner of the pit bull said that Thursday marked the first time she let the dog outside without a leash. The owner was inside when she heard commotion, then came outside to retrieve the dog, according to the report. Then she called police.<br /><br />Deputies said the smaller dog had a “U-shaped cut” on its right side. It was taken to a vet by its owner, but the severity of its injury was not specified by police.<br /><br />Peoria County Animal Protection Services took the pit bull for quarantine. Further information was not immediately available about the dog’s fate.<div>

UPDATE: Luke is back home with two family pit bulls who slept with him on his first night back from the hospital. His mother believes it is how you raise them and is not worried about his safety around their own family pit bulls despite well-raised family pit bulls killing and mauling so many family children.<br />

"Luke Drees-Segundo is a 10 year old student in my 5th grade class. Luke was attacked by two dogs last Friday, October 13, 2017 as he walked to school in Aurora, IL. He suffered multiple severe wounds to his head, face, and legs. Luke is undergoing treatment for these wounds. He has had two surgeries since admitted and will most likely have to face more. His injuries are very serious, but not life-threatening. Luke is a very brave little boy with a long road ahead of him. <br />
I would like to help out his mom, Denise Drees, with the financial burden. Please help Denise in any way you can. All donations are appreciated and will help her out tremendously. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">The dogs stopped and ran away when a 31 year old Aurora woman saw the boy being attacked, drove up to the scene, and opened her vehicle door to help him. She then called 911.</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
The boy received initial treatment at an Aurora hospital and was then transferred to a suburban hospital. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
We have identified the owner of the dogs who lives in unincorporated Aurora and is known to Aurora Animal Care and Control. The missing dog is white with brown patches, has a chubby build and is named “Cash”. Its owner says the dog has been known to run toward Phillips Park in the 1000 block of Ray Moses Drive.</div>
<div style="font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
If you see the dog, do not approach it. Instead, call 911 immediately.</div>
<div style="display: inline; font-family: inherit; margin-top: 6px;">
The impounded dog, which was captured soon after the attack in the 800 block of Watson, will be observed for rabies before any decision is made about its future. Several citations are pending against the owner from Aurora Animal Care and Control. Since the owner lives in unincorporated Aurora, Kane County Animal Control was also notified of the incident.<br />

And Julian is such a gentle soul I know he did nothing to the dog for this to happen. Makes you wonder what's going on in that dog's life."<br />

He got off of the leash and ran away. We've been searching the area looking for him with no luck. His name is Benito. He is a small dark brown chihuahua/terrier mix. He might be bleeding from the nape of his neck. He isn't wearing a collar as he got out of it and he isn't chipped. If you see him, please call 7734247022 or 7083281791. He's friendly but a bit skittish. Thanks in advance. UPDATE: He's been found and is at the vet. He's got some open wounds that need to be taken care of but should be ok otherwise."<div>

Jasper the Shiba Inu's injuries were severe and so his owner is asking for help paying the bills with a GoFundMe page.<br />

<br />
"This Labor day my small Shiba Inu was on the leash outside in our front yard a family with a pregnant Pit walked by and when Jasper barked at them that pregnant girl attacked. The dog came onto my property because a child was holding the leash. Jasper's leash was a 3 + feet from the sidewalk. I was told she had to be forced to let him go. He has 1 hole in his neck, 5 on his chest and 4 on his leg. Chest muscle had to be sewed together before closing the wounds and a drain tube was left in through the biggest wound. Being a holiday the Vet was closed but thankfully met me at the clinic. He was examined and sewed back together and is not going to be healed for quite some time.... So more Vet bills are coming. I am a single mother and as you can imagine the cost is overwhelming. He is lucky to be alive as he is only 20 lbs (and 12 years old) compared to her huge mass. Your change will quickly add up and help my baby during this painful healing process. Much love and thanks to any kind soul who can donate a few dollars."<br />

"The boxes stacked in the living room held all the things Joshua Dixon thought he would need in a dormitory. Bedsheets and a matching comforter. Bluetooth speakers, a computer printer and, most important, photos of his younger self.<br />
<br />
When the 18-year-old is thousands of miles away at Maine College of Art in Portland, he'll use the pictures to remember — and to explain to new friends — exactly how far he's come.<br />
<br />
Ten years ago, Dixon was mauled by his family's two pit bulls in his backyard when he returned home from school. The dogs tore off most of Dixon's face — his nose, ears, layers of skin and muscle — all gone in the seconds before his parents made the gruesome discovery and frantically called 911."</div>

The Chicago Tribune used to report on pit bull attacks in the past, but presently ignores the problem for the most part. Two days ago, while not reporting on current pit bull attacks, the Tribune posted a eulogy to a pit bull with a facebook following.</div>

Jakubowski housed several of Cuellar’s pit bulls for him on several occassions from 2011 to 2016. He gave Cuellar expired antibiotics that were the property of the city shelter. And he gave the dogfighte two pit bulls without paperwork knowing that that the dogfighter intended to transfer the pit bulls to other people. Jakubowski was involved in a “roll” dog fight in 2004.<br />

“A “roll” is a dog fight staged for the purpose of assessing the fighting characteristics of a dog or dogs, rather than for wagering purposes, and is generally stopped by the handlers before serious injuries result.”<br />

The pit bulls inflicted 82 lacerations with over 52 to just her face.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNm0Ny8o7itQgdtiBzCbJJbOEF3I00oM1LelXYQ8hf1OpYjE93mOOM_bqLJP4S2Lcqk2CwK1v4qY2Br3j5E0OGGiCjYBxo07AiexOrwTsy2HM1SA-duk0JpiD6BFRZfrHVokPbCQiETFQ/s1600/Springfield-IL-pit-bull-attack.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqNm0Ny8o7itQgdtiBzCbJJbOEF3I00oM1LelXYQ8hf1OpYjE93mOOM_bqLJP4S2Lcqk2CwK1v4qY2Br3j5E0OGGiCjYBxo07AiexOrwTsy2HM1SA-duk0JpiD6BFRZfrHVokPbCQiETFQ/s320/Springfield-IL-pit-bull-attack.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
The pit bulls have been put down. They were owned by a long-time friend of Mirra’s father. A facebook page was set up for her where her parents admonished commenters to not put down pit bulls. <br />
<br />
At least this attack was reported. That is a big thing in Illinois where the media usually won’t even report pit bull attacks. A fatal attack, probably committed by a pit bull, in Quincy this year has been completely swept under the rug. This is an extreme disservice to the citizens of Illinois.<br />

The pit bull grabbed the man’s hand but did not bite down. The pit bull's owner is Ramon Rosas-Vazquez.<br />
<br />
Apparently, Joliet is attempting to name and shame irresponsible pit bull owners in a vain attempt to curb their massive pit bull attack problem instead of doing the right thing, which is to ban pit bulls in Joliet.<br />

The pit bull owner’s was identified and his name and photo were published online in an apparent attempt to deter the massive number of Joliet residents with pit bulls from letting their pit bulls attack innocents. So far, it is not working. Joliet needs a ban and it needs a ban more than most places.<br />

<br />
Animal control has told the neighbor several times to control his dogs and he won't. Lee County states attorney told us that we need to hire a lawyer to handle the neighbor!<br />
<br />
Seriously!!! He and his dogs are the problem here and WE nee to spend money on an attorney to try and get protection!<br />
<br />
The sheriff says call animal control - animal control says there is't anything on the books in Illinois that helps us with this situation - and - there aren't ANY ordinances regarding dogs in this county!!<br />
<br />
What a joke! So we have to live in fear of his wandering pits and no one will help us!"<br />

The first attack was on a husky which left two puncture wounds and a terrified husky.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Idiot pit bull owner doing what they always do with their pit bull attacks<br />
nothing</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The second attack was on a corgi which got picked up by the neck and shaken like a ragdoll. Photos show the pit bull owner stood there like a stuffed nitwit doing nothing. The corgi owner couldn't help either. It was a brave third woman who actually saved the corgi from the pit bull's grip. She punched the pit bull in the ribs three times and then quickly removed the corgi from the dog park. She must have known that pit bulls ALWAYS go back to the attack after they are initially unlocked from their prey.<br />
<br />
The corgi's owner, hampered by an unbelievable degree of political correctness, didn't leave the dog park after witnessing the first attack to protect his dog; he didn't tell the stupid young woman to leave to protect his dog; nope, he approached her and began talking to her and when he heard screaming, he knew it was his dog (because he'd led the poor corgi to the pit bull).<br />
<br />
Mr. Unbelievably-Bad-Judgment doesn't want the pit bull "to get into trouble," but he offered a $500 reward for anyone who can lead him to the pit bull's owner who must have skipped off. He doesn't want her to pay the $1,000 vet bill or to have her vicious pit bull put down. He just wants to raise her awareness and perhaps convince her to get the pit bull "rehabilitated" (that isn't a real thing) and to perhaps not go to the dog park with her mauler if that's ok with her. (I want to know how someone with poor judgment to that incredible degree is able to have that much money to throw away.)<br />
<br />
What should happen is that pit bull should be deemed dangerous after two attacks and the pit bull should be put down and the pit bull owner fined. That would be a service to the community Mr. Unbelievably-Bad-Judgment because if you don't report the bite, the next victim will be at square one, and will not be able to get that mauler out of the neighborhood.<br />

Diamond (or as we call her poochie) lost a lot of blood and was wounded severely, she has two deep wounds in the stomach and a fractured spinal cord. <br /><br />She requires medication and daily visits to the vet to clean her incisions. As you may know the Vet bills are extremely high and only keep getting higher.<br /><br />If you find it in your heart to help us with what ever you can we really appreciate it. It hurts us so much to see her suffer the way she is <div style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.52400016784668px; text-align: center;">

Talburt II, 21, was charged Monday in Adams County Circuit Court with home invasion, aggravated battery, reckless conduct, criminal trespass of a residence and two counts of obstructing justice.<br /><div style="text-align: center;">

Charging documents say Talburt struck the other man by putting his thumb in one of his eyes and allowed the pit bull to bite him. They also allege he provided false information to police.<br /><br />The Quincy Police Department said officers were called to 1005 Jersey on a report of a 30-year-old who was bitten by a dog in the face. Police said Talburt got into an altercation with his downstairs neighbor and his dog got loose and bit the man in the face.<br /><br />The man who was bitten was taken to Blessing Hospital for treatment. The dog was taken to the city's animal shelter for quarantine.<br /><br />Judge Amy Lannerd advised Talburt that he faces six to 30 years in prison if he is convicted of home invasion, a Class X felony. He also faces the possibility of consecutive sentences if convicted of the other charges.<br /><br />Talburt will return to court July 24.<br /><br />He is being held in the Adams County Jail on $20,000 bond.<div>
