A horrific spate of pit bull attacks which saw three kids and a mum mauled to death in just two weeks has triggered a nationwide petition calling to ban the breed.
The string of maulings in South Africa has led to revenge attacks with pit bulls feared to be dangerous being poisoned, stoned, stabbed and set alight.
As fury grows, over 132,000 people have signed a nationwide petition addressed to the Government to bring an end to the dogs used to protect homes in the country.
