Never bring a knife to a dogfight.

Maybe the pit bull’s owner should be made to take the shots himself- so he learns just how very painful those things are!!

This is why you shouldn’t let your health insurance lapse. A dog may run into your kitchen and bite you. And then you’d have to buy rabies shots out of pocket.

The socialized-medicine crew would want the Feds(and by extension, US) to pay for those shots.

.... It sounds too bizarre to be true, but a local woman fended off a four-legged intruder's attack with a butcher knife.

Actually, it doesn't for this forum tonight.

This is the 3rd report of pit bull attacks in the last 2 hours. All 3 dead.

Kill 'em all, let Lassie sort them out.

Vaccinate your dogs. Most places have a free rabies clinic yearly.

I own dogs, but I believe pit bulls should be outlawed. It killed that woman’s little terrier, think what it could do to a toddler. Pit bulls have killed adults or severely injured them numerous times. All this stuff about “if you raise them right they’re not violent” may be true, or may not, but it seems people who choose pit bulls as pets are the very same types not inclined to raise them right or keep them restrained. Therefore for the public safety, a breed that is proven to be dangerous should be illegal.

Wonder if the pit bull was named “Islam”? So many parallels there.

Wonder what’s going on lately, it seems there’s been a spate of pit bull stories posted lately. So far in this series, one good, all the rest bad.

“Wake up people”. You’ve got to take care of your dogs, you cannot let dogs run loose, train them.

If you appreciate your pet, socialise your pet, I mean let your pet know his or her limits. I love all animals from a tame rat, all the way to the dolhin.

If you got a pit, a Rot, or a bullish type, best to let them know you’re safe around a Rat type Terrier, or a kitty. The consequence for non compliance is devestating. I’ve never even heard of a German Shepard or other lesser agressives, being put down for that sort of stuff.

If You have an agressive (by nature) animal, then you must train it. Any dog, when properly trained obeys its master.

Best dog IMHO, a Lab, most intelligent and loyal. plenty of others fit this bill, but a lab or half lab, is the best.
Best kitty, anything that rids yer place of vermin.

Ok, so what, I like kittys. BTW my kitty loves me, LOL...

Pit bull attacks are crimes. And it is big enough news, that quite a few articles about it are appearing in publications around the country every day.

Pit Bull medicine = 12 ga. Damn all this knife nonsense.

I keep one loaded under the bed. It is the remote control for any problem that might wake me up.

Are they saying the Pitt Bull had rabies? If they have the dog they would know if it did and that should be the only reason to give her rabies shots.

He should pay for the costs associated with the loss of her dog as well.
I’ll tell you my story. I have a little black cat. On 16 Augustm08 our neighbors 2 meanie weenies across the street and 3 doors down ,got out of their yard and came into mine and attacked my cat in my garage!!!! My cat spent two days at the pet ER and the next day at my vet and that bill came to more than 1100.00.
We hoped the antibiotics would prevent the abscesses from developing. It didn’t work. Ebonie had some painful tests and then surgery to put into place 2 drains. It took until the end of Sept before the meds and drains were taken out.
The whole bill came to 2007.00. These people paid the first 1000.00 after animal control called and told them to get with it or they could face going to court. They did not want to pay the remainder claiming they were strapped.
We were not going to go along with that but were willing to spread the payments out. In the end their household ins paid up all but the 200.00 we forgave. If the ins had not paid we would have gone to court.
Since then those dogs have been out twice more and in my yard.
This is not the end of the story either. My cat has become very fearful of everything and now is licking her tummy to the point of baldness. She was pretty chewed up..but now I have to figure out what to do next. I would like to pass this next set of bills onto the dog owners too but don’t now if it would stick.

What’s obvious to most people, is that the profile of a typical pit bull owner is one who lies to get welfare, evades taxes for “child care” credits, is addicted to crystal meth and weighs over 250 pounds.

The pit bull's owner promised to cover Verzone's rabies vaccination bill.

She needs to sue.
