Owner Says They Were Fighting Over A Bone
SE Portland -- Two pitbulls were shot and killed by Portland Police officers after an apparent attack Saturday afternoon. Witnesses reported seeing three pitbulls fighting in the back yard of a home in the 2200 block of SE 101st Avenue and called 911.
The dog's owner says they were fighting over a bone, and when she tried to intervene one bit her on the arm. Her seven year old daughter was also in the yard at the time. That's when officers fired, killing two of the dogs.
The third was tazered and ran off into the woods. Officers searched for the dog, but were unable to locate it.
No humans were seriously injured in the incident.
I like German shepherds, Irish setters, Labrador retrievers, and English springer spaniels. I've had them all. I don't like Berrettas (they jam), I do like Sigs. Get it?
May as well join in.
I'm not much of a dog person, but I'm fond of most cats (except for those ones that have funny looking ears or tails). And I did (just yesterday) buy my wife a miniature schnauzer puppy, which I shall at least pretend to like, and to which nobody will be allowed to be mean.
As for guns, I like most of them, so any of the aforementioned brands (or any other for that matter) you don't like, just give them to me.
Not a chance buddy. I sorta like Sigs, Rugers and Kimbers. I don't like cats, but my wife loves 'em. Our daughter has two, and my sister has three....
I would partially agree with that...
I think owning certain breeds should require the same type of permit it takes to own a lion or a bear.
What I won't do is make the straw man argument and say we should outlaw all kinds of things to knock down your argument.
I think that particular breed as well as one or two others should require the same permit it requires to have a lion or a bear...
I cannot own a lion and keep the animal in a residential neighborhood without tons of insurance and permits. If I could, I would get one just to go around killing pit bulls for the shock and awe... A lion is the king of beasts...
There is a reason people aren't allowed to keep a lion without permits and insurance up the a-hole...
Why don't some of the genius types that run our municipal jurisdictions use their heads. Oh, I forgot, they work for the government... never mind...
My wife would have an issue with the lion concert. She was in South Africa for a few months and worked with lions. Karen came back whole, and had a teeerific time with the cats. BTW, she was on vacation time from the eeeevil Texaco oil company. R&D and all that nasty liberal stuff that business personnel have to do away from home.
Why? A full grown male lion can kill anything... a pit bull would be just a little snack...
Got it...
Why was this important enough to warrant an article like this, and why did you feel this story was important enough to post on FR?
