Crack down HARD on the owners of those who raise vicious dogs and the problem will be solved.
I agree, but that solution is way too simple to ever be implemented. The government has to make things complicated and useless.
A little pit pup followed me home from my walk the other week; I left it outside and it wandered over to my neighbor's house, and she decided to keep it because it was so sweet. I told her it was a pit bull and she didn't seem to care, but a few days later I found out that it had killed one of their rabbits so they threw it out. I wish she had told me before getting rid of it, as I probably could have found someone responsible to take care of it.
I’d say he was more intimidated and feeling “hen pecked”, myself...:))
[the man who taught me dog training was “Mr SCHMIDT!”, which you have to practically yell with all your Germanic accent might...I often wondered if he’d “fled here in the 40s” and for better or worse, I not only picked up his skill but his demeanor. “Macht Schnell!” I had Dobermans, then. It worked.]...LOL
What a shame about the pup.
I have dogs who were, for millenia, created and bred to hunt rabbits.
I also have pet rabbits.
Somehow, via the technological magic and miracles of dog fences and rabbit runs, no one’s ever been hurt.
And that works *both* ways because “Psycho Bunny” ain’t one bit impressed by the “hounds”. In fact, she charged to the *front* of her run, jumped up and punched Djinni in the nose, once.
[every once in a great while, Djinni runs at PB’s enclosure...but pulls up 3 or 4 feet short...she remembers]...;-D
