LONG BEACH -- Police in Long Beach shot and killed a pit bull that attacked a man and his dog, and then a woman and her dog, before going after officers.
Police responded to a report of a dog fight in the 100 block of Ximeno Avenue about 11 p.m. Tuesday.
They found a man on the ground who had been bitten several times. He was holding his small dog that had also been attacked.
Officers determined a neighborhood pit bull was responsible.
They contacted the pit bull's owner and told him to put his dog on a leash and bring him outside so he could be turned over to Animal Control, said Nancy Pratt of the Long Beach Police Department.
The owner brought the pit bull out, but it was apparently on a loose collar and pulled away from the owner.
With police chasing him, the pit bull ran to a vehicle where a woman and her small dog were just getting out.
The dog charged them, then began jumping on the passenger side window as the woman tried to get back in the car with her dog.
Police tried to subdue the animal by hitting him several times with a baton, but the dog was unaffected, and then tried to attack the officers.
One officer fired his weapon, but the dog was not hit and fled.
Officers tracked the dog to a park near St. Joseph Avenue and Livingston Drive, where it again lunged at the officers.
Two officers fired their weapons, killing the animal.
Animal Control then took possession of the dog's body.
The man bitten by the dog was taken to a hospital where he was treated for his injuries. His dog wastaken to an animal hospital and is expected to recover.
Oh, bloody hell.
They’re onto me.
Chet 99, attempted censorship is the favorite tactic of family-hating victim feminists—some real perverts. People who cry for censorship against news of pit bull attacks are about as far left and neglectful of reality as anyone can be. They deny the consequences in front of them, until they’re severely punished for their own criminal behavior.
no surprise here is it that our resident what culture war types are also keen on breed specific legislation which btw covers a lot more than just pitbulls and staffies
I have no intention of owning only yuppie dogs that just dance around goofy chasing frisbees and panting and smiling all the time....likie some 70s Coke commercial
that’s what cats are for
or are these pussies (sic) here scared of anything besides ragdolls and burmese kitties too?
wickedly laughing...made my nite post Tom...well done
I'd like one of these little girls to come out to wardaddy's home and try to take my American Bulldog from me...
statist little babies
Eaker, that name sounds familiar from some nasty name calling religious threads. I your not the one, I apologize
Absolutely - same here. But it's damned near Communist to have an opinion and not allow an an opposing view, isn't it?
And as for as campaigns to eliminate certain breeds?!
No, I strongly disagree with that!
Which breed is next, Chihuahuas?!
Perro de Presa Canario - No particular reason for posting the pic other than I just like the breed and he scares the hell out of the effeminate dog haters.
“Nearly every clean cut, drug-free, truly conservative American is on your side in regards to the matter. “
Nice try at thinly veiled ad hominem via psychological black mail.
I’m all of the above, except for the hysterical “breed legislation” part.
[as are 99% of the show dog people I know who also fight against these irrational acts of clandestine social tyranny/conditioning]
“Yep—same kind. Some are trash from their beginnings. Others do something right early on then emulate cowardly, libertine, effeminate hippies later. The dead giveaway is their chicken____ perverted, cowardly desire to use their dogs to maul little neighborhood kids and old folks.”
Raised by strict, ultra-conservative middle class parents in a house my dad built with his own hands and no bank loans...just 18 hours of work a day with his regular job pay plus any odd jobs he could find.
Other than a speeding ticket I got whilst trying to make the deadline for a veteran’s hospital benefit run, I’ve never had *any* trouble with the law.
I’ve had Dobermanns for over 35 years and the neighborhood kids drove me crazy always asking for one particular dog to do his “tricks” for them.
[luckily, he was a ham and enjoyed having an audience]
The newest one is apparently following in his paw prints.
“Old folks”, such as my grandmother, would call me to come stay the night after my grandfather died...with the catch that the dog came along, too.
[and I have despised hippies from the age that I could understand what one was]
“Uncivil, unsociable dogs need to be put down, and there are plenty of ways to do that. Their owners are obviously incapable of analytical thought or logical arguments, so there’s no discussin’ the issue with them. They deserve to be flushed down the toilet of society, and that’s where they’re goin’.”
I excel at analytical thought and logical argument.
[high school debate team...people feared being pitted against me]
Amazingly, one of the most wonderfully useful things that my parents taught me was to *not* make broad, sweeping generalizations or judgments about people [or their possession] lest I wind up looking the fool.
Et tu?
Imagine the liberal Utopia:
No guns to defend yourself.
No knives to defend yourself.
No laws to defend yourself.
No right to defend yourself.
Not *even* a dog to defend yourself.
Utopia: Where you are utterly defenseless.
Sound like a fascist paradise, doesn’t it?
I dunno...being drowned in slobber spooks even me...a little bit....;]
Other liberals like you said the same thing about Obamacare.
That was a lie too.
blow it out yer ass....my vet owns Pits ... I own Bulldogs.....we sure ain't ghetto homeo...that comment was sorta degrading to black folks which is odd given your tendency to play the race card FOP
bttt.,..btw race baiter familyop now thinks we are GHETTO...lol...who knew Tom....hit the rock dog!
they are all Molasser is origin...and all in the gunsights of breed specific banning crybabies
Yes...we raise our guard dogs to be monsters just like we do our kids
we are horrible people
but we don’t apologize
Eaker as preacher?
did I miss something here?
A link would be nice as I stay away from the religion threads as unlike the dog haters here I don't post on subjects I don't know anything about.
It's getting late so I better get to beatin' my pit and sellin' crack rocks down at the grade school.
As I said if not you, I apologize...didn’t know you sold crack, its illegal you know and I never accused you of that...
