ST. LOUIS --A man who shot and killed a pit bull on the street this morning told police it had been attacking his own dog.
St. Louis police say the man called 911 to tell them what he'd done.
He told officers that the pit bull was attacking his dog and another one.
A department spokeswoman said she didn't have any further details on who owned the dead dog or if it had been on a leash.
It happened about 7:30 a.m.

Some of us don’t hate pit bulls any more than we hate rattlesnakes. But we’ll support the killing of one just as readily as the other if it’s in a place where innocent people or other dogs (or cats etc) are at risk.
Do live in a perfect world where everything goes right 100% of the time!
Apparently there is more to this story!
That is something we can agree on. Laws concerning loose dogs need to have some teeth- the owner needs to face serious enough consequences for violating things like leash laws that they will either not have dogs or take good care of them.
Some just have a perverted pleasure.
I ws bit by a Scottish Terrier while riding my bike. It broke the skin, major.
GO HARLEY he is too cute for words..
Did you kick it across the street? I mean, you own WOLVES, which are far and away more complicated, intelligent and dangerous than a measly pit bull..
You are the earthly manifestation of Diana, I swear.
I wish it was just a loose dog. We have packs of coyotes. The dogs are afraid of them. And the bears.
I don’t have a pitbull fetish.
Any Pit Bull running loose should be considered an imminent deadly threat and killed immediately.
No.

I was 9 years old then....
Actually, the biggest fear of my wolves..IF they get loose and have not in over 5 years. They are 6 now. I fear for them or someones pet.
Storm is not partial to an animal not of his pack. He loves the 4 and 5 lb house dogs we have, but they are part of the family. Shy would keep away from anyone she does not know. If cornered, she would act. If not, she would not. Storm, on the other hand,thinks everyone loves him.
No matter what, if they got out, someone would shoot and kill them out of fear.
This is why we have a double enclosed area for them.
Shy got out of the first a few months ago, she did all she could to dig back into the main enclosure. She likes to feel “safe”
She loves kids, but anyone over the age of 15 or so ( that she does ot know) she goes to the furthest part of the enclosure to keep away from them.
Poor Storm thiks the entire world loves him. If he got loose, he is so big and daunting looking, he would die by a gun shot. I an not be sure if I could blame the person that did it. He is huge.
Thus is why, they are well fed, loved and exercised, played with and loved. They love their home.
I got major licks today when I went out and played with them.
I am still cracking up at your post!!!
Do I get to wear a tierra when I clean out the pens?
