"So the officer did shoot the dog."

If your going to shoot, shoot to kill. The officer should have killed the dog, not wounded it. What the heck were they thinking?

[Terriergal]

No mention on whether the brain will be tested for rabies? Attacked the owner, after being shot once?

Yikes.

Good thing it's dead. There's a guy, Cesar Millan, who can rehabilitate most throwaway dogs, but man... that's bad. I don't know if he could even fix that one.

Ever try to hit a moving target when there are innocent people around?

Is this near you, Hair?

[Blowtorch]

But it's all about how you raise the dog, not about the breed dontcha know!

Someone should have shot that dog much earlier.

This is another reason why it is good to have a gun.

Ever try to hit a moving target when there are innocent people around?

Yes, I have. The officer shot the dog when it tried to attack him, if he can hit it once, he shouldn't have much problem hitting it twice.

Will someone please ban these dogs in neighborhoods. Or, can I keep a cougar at my house?

Too bad only the idiot "my dog is nice and would never do that" pittbull owners still believe that.

Whoops, I think there is a policy against personal attacks on here and I should not have called pittbull owner idiots. But, I can not think of another word for them...

Rabies is less common in this part of the country than nutty pitbulls are. I wouldn't suspect rabies necessarily.

tuffy - not real close to me... this is a suburb of the Seattle area.

Answer: The kind of person most likely to be be an irresponsible dog owner.

Parallel In many states the legislature refuses to enact tough mandatory car insurance, despite the fact that people who drive without auto insurance are precisely the people most likely to cause serious accidents.

I'm not sure sure about that... but they definately are the people most likely to not be able to ~afford~ an accident.

You can't "Switch Off" a Pit-Bull once he,or she goes into Attack Mode. Voice commands have no effect. owners can kick them beat them with sticks,hose them down with garden hoses. The attack will continue until either the dog,or the maulee stops moving. I have seen one of these attacks in my life time.

Don't tell me that Pit-Bulls are just like any other dog you just have to know how to handle them. BullShit.

Here in the San Francisco bay area one sometimes reads about pit bulls kept by gang members. These young men keep their un-neutered pit bulls on a very tight leash, literally. These young men seem strong enough to control said dog. I used to see them at Fort Funston (off-leash hilly, sandy, beach area, one of God's more beautiful parks) every once in a while. There was usually two or three mean lookin' men and one VERY mean lookin' pit bull. Very tight leash. Beautiful, well-kept dogs.

They use the dogs for protection. They let them roam their environs or territory and woe betide any innocent child who gets in the way.

Also, some use them as entertainment, to fight OTHER pit bulls...and they gamble on the outcome. Cockfighting, only with pit bulls against each other. I never saw any of those dogs...they would have had some scars. The ones I saw were VERY well-kept dogs.

So, is this also [in some protracted way] Bush's fault?

Will someone please ban these dogs in neighborhoods. Or, can I keep a cougar at my house?

Sure, but why stop at pitbulls. Let's ban Rottweilers, German Shepards and Dobermans also...and don't forget the Mastiffs and Rhodesian Ridgeback. I've also heard Jack Russell terriers are vicious as heck....
