There is no good reason to own a pit bull.
God rest her soul.
What a horrible way to die. Prayers for the family and kill the dogs.
The owner needs a jail sentence.
Agreed. I know opinion pisses off the pit bull activists, that we that feel this way are ill informed, etc, but I just don't see the point of owning this breed. There are plenty of others to choose from.
Tranquilized? Fine, Tranquilize the **** with a .44 Magnum, or a shotgun. And now, drag the owner to the garden and make him/her put hands in the blood, then charge them with negligent homicide, endangering a community, and every other thing that may apply.
Drug dealers would strenuously disagree with you.
How long before a pit bull owner chimes in here to say the dog was abused or trained to be this way?
Agreed on all levels.
I hate those dogs.
Another mere coincidence involving a pit bull.
2nd or 3rd degree murder.
I dont know if its a good reason, but protection is the reason. That's why they popular in the hood, where this lady probably lived. Hell, even in my neighborhood, which is quiet, I avoid the house with the loose pit bull. Just don't want to go near the damn psycho dog.
Equally obvious is the statistics from the various sites that put dog bites requiring emergency romm treatment anywwhere from 430,000 a year to 800,000 a year are just wrong. No ones precious wecious wittle doggie woggies ever bite anyone.
I have owned a few different breeds of dogs. My favorite was a German Short Haired Pointer that I had trained so well, I could throw a ball and he would sit and stare at it bouncing away...I would say "go!" and he would rocket after it... I could yell "stay!" as he was almost about to grab it and he would skid for about 8 feet as he went into a sitting position and watched it bounce away from him.
I could be swimming in a lake and call him and he would lunge into the water and swim to me, and I could grab his tail (yep, didn't bob it) and tell him to "go" and he would pull me back into shore.
Whenever I was with him at the river, a park or a lake and a pit-bull came on the scene, I would put him in the truck. I found pit-bull owners often tugged their dogs ears and sic'ed them on other dogs just for the fun of it.
A pit bull is like a loaded gun laying in a playground...an accident waiting to happen.
When pit bulls are banned, only criminals will have pit bulls.
Banning dogs doesn't work. The owner needs to serve hard time for homicide becasue that owner is responsible for the actions of those animals. My heart goes out to the family of Jimmie.
LOL!
Yes. I'm just not sure which "degree" negligent homicide is.
Here we go again.....Canis familiarus means dog...period. Breeding is something that is done to select dogs for certain tasks. Now if you dangle kittens in the face of your sweet lovely Golden Retriever and let them scratch their faces, then let the dog kill and dismember the kitten, then move the dog up to people by training them to attack, then you have a potential killer.
The breed may give you a predispostion for certain behavior in dogs, but training will make or break a dog. If this dog was mistreated by some drug dealing scum to attack people at random, then nothing on heaven and earth will change a dog whether its a toy poodle or a pit bull.
