sounds like a neglagence suit on the part of the pit bull's owners. Maybe we can toss in accessory to murder in with it. Good thought, but doubtful.
..
As the parent of a just-turned-6 yaar old daughter, I cannot imagine the horror of this event.
I really don't think I could go on living, unless it was purely for the purpose of dedicating my life to making the dogs' owner's life a misery.
Any pack of medium to large dogs that's permitted to roam and kill is more than ready and willing to attack and kill a child.
These animals are the muslims of the pet world.
That is SO approprate. This breed should be removed from the face of the earth. And how can those neighbors allow these dogs to roam free. If it was Texas we would have used .38 cal animal control.
Suggest you move this story to news/activism. There was a young girl viciously killed and the owners have been arrested for second-degree murder.
The fear and terror of that poor little girl..these dog owners should be locked up for life. And I wouldn't mind if something bad happened to them in prison. There was a case like this in San Francisco and the dog owners did very little time, if I recall.
But, the risk of having these dogs in a neighborhood is simply too great. Animal control should be allowed to seize pit bulls, and the civil liabilities against vicious dogs should be increased to the point where insurance companies will deny homeowners' coverage to those who possess them.
Past time for this breed to go!
No whining!
So the psycho owner of the dogs made a veiled threat to the kids that saved this woman's Lab. The owner ought to be put down along with her dogs.
According to Clark, Caulkins has been breeding the dogs – “litter after litter” – at times there were as many as six dogs in the home. Members of the Caulkins family declined an opportunity to discuss the matter on Tuesday but reportedly the owner of the dog told television news reporters that Annilee must have done something to provoke the attack."
This underscores the point that the overwhelming majority of people who breed these dogs for profit are criminals selling or trading these time bombs to gang bangers and drug dealers for drugs or money.
In some urban settings, possession of such a dog is considered a masculine status symbol.
A good friend of mine, who lives in West Philly has seen a wild pack of pit bulls roaming around his neighborhood, killing peoples pets. He will not walk his dogs outside unless he is packing.
A none-too-bright young man I work with is expecting a child with his wife (this relationship is a Jerry Springer show in the making but that is for another time). Anyways, he just purchased a pitbull/rottweiler puppy. I told him straight up that dog is going to eat his baby.
He told me they are great dogs if raised right and he should know because he used to raise them. I asked him what he arised them for. "Fighting, of course" was his answer.
I give their newborn 6 months tops.
