Uhhh Chet...is there a link??
Another day, another attack by a vicious dog that just happens to be a pit bull.
Put the owners to sleep along with their pit bulls.
Saw it...thanks. Those idiot guys allowed their pitties to run unleashed? I am a dog lover, but those guys should spend a few nights in jail.
We are told here that the “biased liberal media” is out to get pit bull owners, although I’d gander that the prime demographic for pit bull ownership is among Democrat Obama supporters.
Damn, that woman showed some real courage. She actually knocked idiot No. 2 out of the way so she could save her dog.
Put the pitts to sleep and then beat the owners to death.
Way too many of these attacks by Pit Bulls....Even when the owner claims how sweet and loving they are.
About a month ago I checked out some ruckus over the privacy wall to see my neighbor beating on the head of a pit bull who had his beagle/basset mix in his bite. The neighbor screamed at me to help him. I ran out, told my mom to call 911, and solicited the help of the neighbor guy next to him and he jumped over his fence and started wailing on the pit with a PVC pipe. I knew I needed some guy power in the mix to effect the situation positively. Got them apart, waited for the cops to come. Little Sonny boy was just fine. The owner of the stray pit bull showed up and couldn’t have been more blasé, Mr. Tatooed From Head To Toe Freakazoid F##ktard.
Some dogs should be allowed to go extinct. Pit bulls are among those dogs. Beware of Pit Bulls, folks—I don’t care what their owners say—they are dangerous.
Ah Geez. Okay Chet - we get it - you don’t like pit bulls.
People who cannot control their dogs should not have dogs. Unfortunately, some overestimate their control and let their dogs loose in public places. First offense should be a stiff fine if the animal attacks other animals and/or humans. Second offense, if the dog attacks again, is that it goes to an animal adoption agency, and the individual is never again allowed a pet owner’s license.
I have nothing against pit bulls. I was raised with Dobermans (who could take your arm off in a second) and have had several Golden Retrievers (who might lick you to death in a few hours). We sometimes let our two current Goldens run in the local park when no one else is present. We are very careful, our dogs are well trained, and the most damage they would cause would be to scare people fearful (and ignorant) of such dogs.
In 20 years, the only incidents with our Goldens happened when owners let their dogs wander about, and ours were leashed. One yappy mutt got in the face of our two (now deceased) Goldens. The male grabbed him by the neck and put him down hard. The owner called the police on us. I told him he was lucky that his unleashed mutt wasn’t killed. When he later threatened my wife, I explained that her law firm (Glock and Associates) would be happy to talk with him. Should that discussion not suffice, I was quite willing to call up my firm of Smith and Wesson. The guy moved out of the neighborhood about 2 months later.
Having unleashed dogs meet up with a leashed dog is a pretty good way to start a dog fight. And legally speaking, the unleashed dog will always be in the “wrong” - and should be.
Pit Bull.
One of my Dobes was Schuzthund trained.
He was THE most dependable, obedient and stable dog I've ever owned.
The most "dangerous" dog I've ever owned is this little psycho:
A Portuguese Podengo, she, too, is a rescue and Lord only knows what her life was like in CA.
[someone is breeding them and dumping the "unwanteds" to fend for themselves in the high deserts of California. Most end up as coyote snacks.]
She is dog aggressive *big time* with 2 of my Ibizans.
[who are all 4 times her size]
We have been working on the "pack leader" issue but she got much worse after going into heat her first time.
Ordinarily, she would have been spayed LONG before that happened but we had to nurse her through near-fatal double pneumonia before she was healthy enough for surgery
And as luck would have it, just as she was scheduled to be spayed, *bip*, here came the heat.
For all that she goes "Cujo" occasionally, she loves people, especially little girls. She goes totally submissive, huggy/kissy/giggly with them.
We're assuming that being put in runs with larger dogs at the shelter gave her the crummy attitude about "big dogs".
My 2 smaller Ibizans are her best buddies.
There has never been a single case of one biting anybody.
"Scary pictures" don't always tell the whole story.
What we fear, we hate.
What we hate, we seek to destroy.
LOL... the ol’ “I once knew a toy poodle far more aggressive than a pit bull!” post... Ummm, that little dog can be as vicious as he wants to be, and still isn’t going to do a whole lot of damage.
