“To me it’s no different that having pet hyenas and letting them run wild in the neighborhood.”
Concur.
I have a somewhat distant cousin (2nd or 3rd) who even though she is a conservative like me she rarely talks to me or puts a like my FB posts. I can’t really understand why, except she is a big Pit Bull owner and we had a disagreement about 5 years ago over another of the many Pit attacks on some kid.
I think she possibly is actually holding a 5 year grudge at me over her damn stinky dogs. Maybe all Pit owners are not like that but more than most others I’d bet.
Her injuries sound simply unspeakable! I cannot imagine them removing her esophagus but it sounds like that’s next.
Never fight fair.
In the bad old days, one or more of the neighbors would solve that menacing dog problem with extreme prejudice, if you take my meaning.
There is no way these dogs should exist around humans. So sad.
Prayers up for this lady, and also for Mr. Presley who could have saved her. It sounds like he did everything he could.
I saw some people selling pit pups out of the bed of a truck even today, here in my hometown.
Vicious dogs were actually foremost in my mind as I made the decision to carry a handgun.
Stories like this make it tempting to change to shot loads in some way or another. Maybe one of those derringers...
That’s awful.
It most certainly is the breed.
5 Principles of Responsible Dog Ownership
Contain, Control, Maintain, Train and Socialize
At the Norfolk, VA animal shelter it would appear at least 50% of the cats are part Pit Bull.
Note that there are untrained dogs that do not react to the sounds of gunfire.
Shooting into the air removed one round from his handgun. If the dogs had turned on him, he would have one less round to act with.
In other words, never. That's one bell that can't be unrung.
Yes. It’s some type of bragging rights kind of ego thing.
I have four dogs. Various breeds all considered the calm and friendly type and three of the four are small. They are animals. They are trained and socialized, but they are animals.
The hound does hound rings, the Aussie herds, the dachshund goes in holes and chases rodents.
Yes…breeds matter.
See my tagline...I agree it most certainly IS the breed.
Some breeds like people more prone I guess , and some people don’t train their dogs properly as well I suppose. Always tragic and often preventable. Very sad.
I figured that out after I posted. Sorry.
