this is one of the few good uses for lawyers

sue the sh*t out of the people who own and don’t control dogs like this

It happened in the UK, where there is no longer a viable right to self defense.

Some pit bull owners are cowards.
They own the pit bull to bite animals and people,
the owner is too cowardly to bite themselves.

In the U.S., an attack on a guide dog is a felony. If it happened here, the owner would be looking at serious time in a federal, pound-in-the-*ss prison. I know. I raise guide dogs for our local guide dog school. It’s a real shame if the guide dog is retired because of this. It costs $30-40K to raise and train one and the blind person becomes very dependent on the guide dog for mobility.

Pit bulls are not necessarily violent dogs. But if an owner inbreeds or fails to feed or trains one to attack, then the dog’s violent nature is because of the human, not the dog.

Pit Bull Puppies are rarely vicious at birth. Occasionally one is born with a neurological dysfunction, but if bred for gentleness and brought up as a gentle dog, a Pit Bull makes a fine companion and a fine family dog.

I work in a Family run Kennel and we had a year old Pit Bull who had lived with the owner since he was 8 weeks old (and she had 10 other dogs, including a huge German Shepherd female). The Pit was adopted by a couple a few weeks ago. He is a very gentle dog. Not food aggressive. Great with children, cautious with cats. And he had a tenor bark (I said we neutered him too young and he turned into a tenor.)

Only this dog wasn't leashed. Take the Pit and sue the owner. And if the seeing eye dog can no longer work, the Pit's owner should have to pay for the replacement, as well as a fine for allowing his dog to run loose and for failing to stop the dog fight.

Yes, I'm an animal lover. I also loath dog owners who raise dogs to fight, as Michael Vick (former QB for Atl. Falcons) did. I'd have definitely given him more time in jail.

The Dog owner should be executed, I am not kidding. This is true for all such dog owners.

If I throw a tennis ball and my Golden Retriever brings it back to me, it’s because it’s in his nature to fetch tennis balls. I’m sure any Pit Bull owner would agree with that. Why is it any different when a Pit Bull attacks another dog?
