Wary after attack, Victoria Park calls attention to aggressive dogs
Fifty-four animals were killed by dogs in Broward County during a 12-month period ending in September. And some in the Victoria Park neighborhood feel the incident is not isolated.

Time to do something about this.

I suggest shooting any 'stray' animal which poses a threat.

I'm pretty well known in my neighborhood. Mrs L and I run the Neighborhood Watch and at every meeting we stress that pets are REQUIRED BY LAW to be indoors or on a leash when they're on the street.

That means cats, dogs, ferrets, pot bellied pigs, whatever.

ANY 'stray' animal in our neighborhood is subject to humane trapping and a quick trip to County Animal Control.

There are fines and fees involved in recovering animals, and ferals which aren't adoptable are humanely euthanized.

Vicious animals in our neighborhood are subject to being shot on sight.

In our small rural neighborhood in the southeast, a woman was attacked and nearly killed by 5 dogs. A Mexican man stopped and got the dogs off her and took her to the hospital. He said the dogs were clearly trying to kill her. Turns out these dogs were just your average family pets. They were all rounded up and euthanized.

OK, so a few children are maimed and a few pets are killed, but at least the aggressive pet owners feel safe!

Citizens can either take matters into their own hands and quickly solve the dog problem .... or wait until gubbmit gets around to it.

My solution is the former, not the latter.

Who in their right mind would breed a mastiff with a pitt bull?

Somebody needs to tell Julia R “Hey Julia, if you can not control your beast do not walk it in public.”

Man I hate those “It just slipped....” people.
