We were talking about it on the Morning Show today, but do you think pit bulls are a dangerous breed? The conversation stemmed from reports of a baby in Las Cruces dying after being mauled by a pit bull on Tuesday.

KVIA reported that the 16-month-old child was in the back yard with her grandmother when the pit bull turned on them and began attacking. Police said a neighbor heard the attack and came over and shot at the dog, hitting it 5 or 6 times and accidentally shooting the grandmother in the leg. The dog was killed.

The baby was taken to the hospital, where she later died. The debate got heated on the Morning Show today, but what do you think? Are pit bulls a dangerous breed? Vote below and leave your comment below or over on our Facebook page, where the comments are rolling in.
