That is so true. I am for limited government but this is one area that is troubling to me. My 3 kids (one in a stroller) and I were out for a walk and a pit bull BROKE through the boards in the fence to get at us. That dog plus three others held us hostage in the back of a pickup truck for twenty minutes until the police got there. I was praying the whole time and my kids were crying. I kept thinking the police were going to show up in the after math of whatever happened. The dogs tried to attack the police officer that came to help us and then the mailman (while we were in the back of the cruiser). The owners were home the whole time and did nothing until animal control came to get their dogs. All of us except the baby are still battling a fear of dogs.
Dependence on others ALWAYS leads one to be held hostage.
A handgun license, 4 shots, and personal judgment in making a phone call leads to personal contentment.
What happened to the owners?
File a police report. This is actually assault and you can have the dog taken away. If you were touched by the dog, you could file a civil case against the owners. You could probably find a trial lawyer in LA who would file the case just based on the fear your children experienced.
Pit Bulls are great dogs. Pit Bull owners are usually sh@thead, criminal, scumbag, wanna be thugs who think that by owning a dog who can fight means that they can fight. I feel very bad for these dogs because they are being turned into violent offenders. Pit Bulls are great guard dogs. They are great with kids. But because of their physical strength they are capable of being deadly. Chihuahuas are more likely to bite you but they can’t kill your kid.
I’m for jailing a lot more pit bull owners and getting those poor dogs out to rescues who can help them recover and become happy, well adjusted pets for someone who isn’t a criminal. There are lots of pit bull rescues because of the type of people you live next to.
Sorry, but I’m calling BS on your “story”.
*IF* four dogs of ANY breed “broke through the boards in a fence to attack you and your babies...
WHY or WHAT about the pickup truck stopped them from EATING all of you?
Your story doesn’t pass the reality test, FRiend. My 14”tall peke/pom/sheltie quite easily jumps into the back of pickup trucks. The 130 lb smooth collies jump OVER the gate of the same trucks.
Held hostage by pitbulls my hairy patoot. Attempt at DRAMA QUEEN is what I see here. FEH!
Better luck nest time with your fable
