Pit Bull Mauls and Kills Pregnant California Woman, Darla Napora
A pregnant woman was killed on August 11, 2011, in her Pacifica home, by one of her own pit bulls, police reported. Pacifica is a seaside village south of San Francisco, CA.
"We investigate hundreds of dog attacks every year but I've never seen anything like this in 13 years," said Scott Delucchi, spokesman for Peninsula Humane Society, which serves San Mateo County.
Pacifica police officers reported that they found 32-year-old Darla Napora lying on the floor in the front room, not breathing and totally unresponsive, when they arrived at the home on Reina Del Mar Avenue at approximately 12:15 p.m. Pacifica police officers performed CPR before San Mateo County paramedics and the Pacifica Fire Department arrived and pronounced her dead at the scene.
The pregnant-woman’s husband said that he came home from work and found the couple’s two-year-old male pit bull covered in blood and hovering over his wife's mauled body. Reuters reports that Naporo had massive trauma to her upper body, according to Police Capt. Dave Bertini.
When police arrived, Napora's husband told them the dog was secured in a back room of the residence, but the pit bull broke free and approached the officers and first responders while they were attempting to revive the victim. Officers shot the dog three times, killing it.
According to Reuters, a second pit bull was found cowering in a corner and may be returned to the owner by Peninsula Humane Society if it is determined by an examination of stomach contents that it was not implicated in the attack.
The dogs were not spayed or neutered and KCTV reports dog behaviorist Beverly Ulbrich said that the two-year-old male might have been trying to protect the couple’s other dog, a younger female pit bull. http://www.kctv5.com/story/15255135/pit-bull-kills-pregnant-woman

I say let the sorry excuses for dogs kill their owners. If these people are stupid enough to ignore the facts, then they deserve to die because of their ignorance. One less moron and one less pit bull on this planet.
The one thing these nutters don't grasp is that if they are killed by their pit bull, they will be thrown under the bus by their fellow "advocates". Their deaths will be discounted as tough s**t like the one, J-Jammer, on another article who says you stand a better chance of dying by jellyfish or lightning.
When there is a pitocide, it isn't just one person, their family, their friends, their community is affected. Every pitocide brings BSL or bans closer to their beloved breed. And what do they do to stop it? Absolutely nothing. They can only think of making excuses so the pit doesn't get blamed. Look at what they did to this woman, Darla, they claimed she fell off a ladder and her pit was only trying to help her. And the nutters fell for it!! No wonder they are used as pawns by the dogmen and pit bull breeders.
...Every animal has the potential to harm a human being. That is why i choose not to have any pets around my children...
You are right, Steve, every animal has the potential to harm. It doesn't even have to be an attack, it can be carrying disease, etc. I recommended to parents that they forego having a pet until their child is older and can understand instructions concerning how to handle a pet. Usually that is the age of 5-7. With the correct instructions from a parent and the willingness of a child to learn, pets can be a wonderful opportunity to teach children about compassion, responsibility, and all kinds of things. I do hope that you would consider having a pet when your children are older. Just make sure that the pet is appropriate for your family, do research and don't pick a pit bull or any gripping type dogs.
I agree. My mother's side of the family grew up on a farm. When any animal became agressive it was served for dinner the next day.

statistically, you are more likely to be taken out by your diet. what's your stupid point?
Since you wish to call me a "pit nutter" I will PROUDLY take that name. Because YES, I am "nuts" about the breed and my baby girl.
What happened to adopting mutts? They are the ones truly in need.
