Cecil Wallace awoke about 4:30 a.m. Saturday to the bawling of cows and the howling of dogs. The Buford farmer grabbed his shotgun and went running out the back door.
His son and next-door neighbor, Kenneth Wallace, also jarred awake — also carrying a shotgun — joined him. Father and son ran toward the pasture...
...Reaching the pasture, the Wallaces saw a cow, bloodied and torn, its calf standing nearby. As they approached the animal, according to reports, two dogs came running towards them.
Kenneth Wallace raised his 12-gauge. Boom! The larger dog hit the dirt, howling. Wallace fired again, and the dog was quiet.
The female kept coming. Kenneth Wallace fired a third time, the blast echoing along the darkened reaches of Bart Johnson Road.
The Wallaces dragged the dogs' bodies aside and tended to the cow, Betsy. She looked bad — right ear torn off, the left shredded like paper. Her nose was ripped and torn. Two teeth were knocked loose. Not long after daybreak, Cecil Wallace took Betsy to a Cumming veterinarian, who prescribed painkillers and antibiotics for the Angus/Hereford cross.
"She's still in bad shape," Cecil Wallace, 73, said Tuesday. "She tries to eat, but she can't; her mouth's too sore."
Animal control officers have cited one dog owner with failing to have the animal on a leash.. They also charged the owner with violating the county's vicious-animal ordinance, which requires owners of a dangerous dog or cat to have it muzzled whenever the animal is off the owner's property.
Meghan Martin, who lives near the Wallaces, said she is the owner whom officers cited...p>
When I went to sleep, my dog was in bed with me," she said. A roommate let out her dog, plus a friend's pit bull, Martin said...

Buahahahahahahahaha!
PETA losers!
Me and my pitt will be snarfing down ribs on Main Street in Tampa!
I couldn't afford to take my dog to a restaurant...He's a bottomless pit bull!
As Plato said: "never argue with a fool".
Or someone who substitutes ad hominem attack for legitimate debate.
When you have been a teacher for many years you cannot help but recignise the slow learners!
I don't think your IQ would come remotely close to any of the vets opposed to your dog genocide. And for your information they do have a code of ethics and they are honourable people.
Look, you are so full of BS with your nonesense.
1)You suggest a solution by quoting one of your authorities on the subject, as if that is supposed to sway me.
2). I agree with your authorities solution, that owners of "strong/tough dogs" should take training courses.
3). I add that the courses should be paid for by dog owners, not the rest of us.
You obviously don't like the suggestion of your own authority on the subject after having raised it, can't figure out how to squirm out of the suggestion that dog owners pay their own way.
Before you go off on another tangent, how about addressing the position and proposition you yourself raised. That would be far better than you childish antics. What's next, you going to accuse my mother of wearing army boots?
Get a life! Surely you are not silly enough to believe that you have any chance of convincing me of anything. I will listen to people with expertise and clearly you do not qualify. In fact I am not even going to waste time reading your posts.
Nobody has suggested you pay for anything!
The "Pitbulls are not a problem ground" in this thread did suggest controls on the dogs by way of an authority they cited that suggested Pitbull owners should take training classes. As soon as they realized that is what their authority said, they backed off the proposition in a hurry, What I suspect is that we are debating some 15-year-olds cuttled up next to their pitbull pets as they post here and thinking their dog could never attack anyone. .
If you are a teacher, that explains your childish debating tactics. My gosh, let's not get started on teachers being overpaid. I could not take you whining on that one following this exchange.
Really, your being a teacher explains the nature of your comments. Seriously, the pattern fits.
Does that mean you accepted paying for the training courses for owners of strong/tough dogs your expert suggested?
You may not have said I should pay for it, but you did not own up to paying for them yourself. I'll wait for your answer.
You just scored an "F"!
And we have the final desperation of someone cornered in a debate. Just like a liberal, first change the subject, then run in a huff.
"Humph, I know I'm right. They just don't understand. I'm not confused. What they are saying makes some sense I just can't figure out why when I believe something else. That's it. I'm not even going to read your posts anymore. Humph! Double Humph!!"
And another "F"!.
Oh my gosh! Not an "F"? Wow, that's going to stay on my record, for like, until I get out of high school maybe.
Another "F"!
This a very good site.
