Get the kid a quad and a shotgun.

Shoot the dogs then hang the owners. This could have been children instead of a small equine.

[khnyny]

The father should have had a gun.

This is really awful, awful, awful. The idiot dog owners are the culprits and need to be seriously punished.

[darthyorktown]

That proves to you don’t let pit bulls run around without a leash!

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

But, But they are good dogs, whiner countdown

[rawhide]

Just think what could have happened if this kid had been out there in his pull-cart when these pit bulls attacked? Man-o-man!

[Max in Utah]

The poor kid had the horse for two days before those damned dogs killed it.

My son in law just gave my daughter a puppy-- half bulldog, half pit bull. They have two small boys and another on the way. I think he needs his head examined.

First thought: The pit bulls used cancer to kill the horse?

You should never let any “dog” run around unsupervised, leashed or not.

Dogs running loose will pack up, and eventually, they will attack what they see as prey.

As the former owner of an AKC registered German Shepherd, I am now open to the concept of “pet permits”.
Yes, my own dog was highly trained and obedient, but he was also a dangerous animal, potentially lethal to humans, and required extensive amounts of time and attention.

I love dogs, but am no longer in the position to responsibly own and care for one.
I’m not talking about the veterinary expenses, just the minimum level of personal care and attention such an animal requires to live contentedly in a human environment.

It’s not really any specific breed that is the issue, it’s the owner’s lack of ability to keep their “pet” animal under control.

I hope they can find the dogs owner, and toss him/her in jail.

You may need to handle this one yourself.

There aways, dang I ran over the poor thing with my car.

Most Pitt bull owners are just sick people!

[Secret Agent Man]

They probably are okay dogs, if you neuter them. Really cuts down on their aggression (very much hormonally-driven). Even given that, I wouldn’t want one.

I hope the owner will be shamed into donating another horse..If this owner could be jailed for this..he ought to be.

The dogs jumped the fence or dug under it or were maliciously let in?
