You asked me what makes a dog chase someone and I gave you several possibilities. I also went into the fact that an 18 year old boy having a breeding pair of dogs is just stupid. Pit bulls aren't the only dogs that chase and bite people, though. Our entire history is full of dogs chasing and biting people, and sometimes killing them. Pit bulls are only a small part of the history, and soon it will be another breed.
If those dogs were "berserking" the kids would be dead or in intensive care, not just one having bites on her leg. One of the dogs was what I would call dangerous. If it runs after you and bites you when it catches up, then it isn't safe. However, the other dog was just along for the ride, and the officers basically said only one of them was dangerous.
It isn't just pit bull people that have a problem with the law in CA. I personally think the spay/neuter law is great, but I don't breed, nor intend to, and I don't see why it's a big deal to make people be more responsible. It will help so many pets. So what if there are less back yard puppies for 20 bucks? Thank God!
I know why a dog chases but I just wanted to hear your ridiculous faux "Expert" opinion. A normal dog stops the chase after the intruder has left the dogs turf. A normal dog does not want to bite as someone flees it's territory.
As usual you made excuses for the conduct of the dogs in this case and implied the kids were at fault for running. Additionally, the attack was intervened by the janitor who had to hit one of the dogs with a trash can to get it to release one of the kids inside the school! The frequency of Law Enforcement having to shoot these dogs during beserking episodes is undeniable.
You'll enjoy this Police Chief's comments.
"But Police Chief John Douglass said pit bulls made up a disproportionate share of the dog bites in the city. He said pit bulls had more than twice the number of bites per 100 dogs than any other breed registered in the city so far in 2006. Dalmatians and Rottweilers ranked second and third, respectively, on the city’s list of bites per breed per 100 dogs."
