Parents in Ireland have expressed their concerns about the rise in pit bull attacks.
Parents have called for pit bulls and similar breeds to be banned in Ireland.
One tweeted,"It should be completely illegal to own a dangerous breed like a pit bull. There is no excuse for having those dangerous dogs in Ireland.""They are a controlled dog here in Ireland for a reason. I would never leave one near kids. There are still several deaths a year here in Ireland which is a small country."Another added,"Some people who own dogs need to get the message that dogs are unpredictable animals… even gentle family pets can turn.
Following the attack on 9-year-old Alejandro Miszan, one parent said pit bulls should be banned from places like parks and housing estates."Completely irresponsible dog owner. This dog attacked another child 4 days previous. It breaks my heart to see the little boy like this."
