My thoughts as well. I get so tired of this same story over and over.....and then the pitbull apologists coming in and saying “any dog can be made mean”...”the animal was probably provoked. When was the last time you read an article about a golden retriever killing/mauling a kid?
Another repetitive story I’m really tired of is the 40 year old guy who meets an underage girl on the internet and they set up a rendevouz....and, of course, the “girl” is an FBI agent. Don’t live next to pitbulls (especially if you have kids) and don’t set up meetings with underage girls on the internet...that way I won’t have to keep reading these same stories over and over again.
WHAT??? You mean that there aren't a bunch of horny 13 year old girls looking for sex on the internet? I'm totally disillusioned.
On a more serious note, if you don't want to move and a pit bull person moves in next door, there aren't many alternatives. arsenic, but then they'll know who did it. Same holds true for 12ga even more so. ice pick in the gut might work if you do it at night, but we're back to someone knowing what you did. The penalties in GA are much worse for killing a dog than for letting your dog attack someone.
