T.O. woman, 29, facing charges in pit bull attack CTV.ca News
A 29-year-old Toronto woman appeared in court over the weekend to face charges under Ontario's new pit bull laws after her dog was allegedly involved in a vicious February attack.
It is alleged that the woman's pit bull attacked another dog and its owner on February 14, 2006.
The incident happened in the Danforth Road and Midland Avenue area after the accused allegedly was walking her dog without a leash or muzzle, a Toronto Police Service press release said Monday.
Contrary to the release, initial police statements in February suggested the woman did have her pit bull on a leash and muzzle but that the dog broke free from her.
At that time, police said the woman tried to subdue the pit bull but that during the struggle the dog's muzzle came off.
Yep, everyone has to keep their non fighting dogs, muzzled fenced, caged, chained and leashed because others make foolish breed ownership decisions.
Wonder if the owner is going to jail?
Big Macho doggies.
There are plenty of nice big doggies to own as pets.
LOL, don't get me wrong--I actually like dogs. It's their ignorant and inconsiderate owners I detest--just wanted to clear that up...
Pit bulls are just acting out because of the negative sterotypes portrayed against them. </sarc>
grrrrrrr ping!
Me, too. I thought it was someone from Thousand Oaks.
The Dog of Peace.
You'd have better odds getting struck by lightning.
Umm... that dog in the picture is NOT a true representative of the breed. That is a pig bull. Real pit bulls only get 60 pounds max, but people are now breeding for size and using mastiffs, english bulldogs, bordeaus, etc. to make the ultimate idiot criminal companion.
