A tragedy mourns residents of Villamaría, a municipality in the Caldas department, Colombia. In that area, on Tuesday, October 31, 2023, a Pit bull dog bites a girl to death only 28 months old.
The unexpected events took place in a replacement home of the Family Welfare Institute, located on the 11th floor of a building in the city of Villamaría.
The victim was with another six-month-old baby, who was unharmed.
In Villamaría, as in social networks, the question is why a pit bull dog was in a space – an apartment – where there are babies.
“How do they leave children with people who have dangerous pets,” network users wonder.
In Noticias Caracol, the report lamented that the attack was “very brutal.” What was presented was so serious that even though an ambulance was on the scene, the two-year-old and four-month-old girl could not be taken to a nursing home.
The pit bull attack was “immediate”
The mayor of the municipality of Villamaría, Jorge Orbay Marín, stated that on Tuesday afternoon, when many were celebrating Children’s Day, we received the tragic news.
“Everything happened immediately, the lady went to the kitchen and at that moment the unfortunate event took place. The woman couldn’t do anything because the dog wouldn’t let go of the little girl. “He dragged her all over the apartment and took the life of the girl Karen Dahiana. The matter is in the hands of Forensic Medicine to continue investigation,” the official said.
“The situation is very sad,” Orbay Marín explained, among other things, because the woman of this home and her family had already started the procedures to permanently adopt the girl,” El Tiempo published on Tuesday, October 31.

He also stated that they will wait for the “detailed report from the Family Welfare Institute on why the dog was living in that place. The information we have is that the dog had been there for four years and there was no aggression.”
The dog, named Achilles and about seven years old, was taken to the Municipal Shelter the same Tuesday for examination by veterinarians.

The Public Prosecution Service has received the case
On Tuesday afternoon, municipalities indicated that the process will now go to the Public Prosecution Service. There has been a complaint and the caretaker of the minors has come forward, according to the media mentioned above.
Veterinarian Julio Rubio recalled that pit bulls are a potentially dangerous breed.
It will be the Public Prosecutor’s Office that, according to the investigation, decides whether there will be murder charges, or whether other measures will be taken in this painful case, Tatiana Herrera from Villamaría’s Personería office told Noticias Caracol.
The other minor, 6 months old, was transferred to another foster home.

Reactions in networks
Rosalba Cardenas: “That dog is dangerous, how can they get him when there are children there?
User @anitasar15: “A pit bull? How do they get that? They are banned in many countries.”
Yerli Bravo: “I don’t understand how they allow a childminder to have one of these breeds, that should be banned; “These animals are naturally aggressive. Anything a baby does can be a provocation for them. They are animals… it’s the fault of the people who have them.” (JO)
