The only was to stop this BS is to charge the irresponsible owners of these pit-bulls with assault with a deadly weapon and in some unfortunate cases murder.

"The only was to stop this BS is to charge the irresponsible owners of these pit-bulls with assault with a deadly weapon and in some unfortunate cases murder."

There is another way- impose a tax on each Pit-Bull TYPE dog, $500 per dog per year, if they are neutered, $2000 if fertile, to local city or county government. Society really doesn't need these dogs at all.

It still won't stop these ( Pit bulls = Killer Instinct dogs ) from getting lose and attacking innocent people.

[trumandogz]

If you are going to have a dog, train it and be responsible.

And if you cannot control your dog, you are not ready to be a dog owner.

Dude if Dante Stallworth only got 30 days in jail— surely these pit bull owners aren’t worse than Dante Stallworth.

If you are going to have a dog, train it and be responsible. And if you cannot control your dog, you are not ready to be a dog owner.

Exactly.

They're what you make them.

From the article:

On Friday Faith's dog escaped from her families property. When she found the pet, it was fighting with a pit-bull in her neighbor's yard. Copus says Faith then tried to grab her dog but that's when the pit-bull attacked.

If Faith's dog had been properly secured, the dog fight wouldn't have happened. And who doesn't tell a child that you should never try to break up a dog fight? And what kind of dog did Faith have? Article doesn't tell. Could have been another pit, as far as we know.

Baby tigers are cute, too:

When they grow up, they're something else:

[SIDENET]

Pit bulls are you make them.

[SIDENET]

Correction:

Pit bulls are what you make them.

[MyTwoCopperCoins]

Probably. But I think animal owners should come under the same rules as someone owning a tiger as a pet, would. Especially the types with a history of violent behavior.

If the owners are made more aware of the consequences of not securing their animals propely, fewer of them will be lax in this regard.

[BigCinBigD]

Simple make the owners post a One Million dollar liability bond.

Prayers for that poor little girl.

If faith’s dog had been properly secured it would not have escaped, gone into the pit bull’s yard, and there would have been no fight.

Apparently, Faith’s parents didn’t teach her to stay out of a dog fight. There is nothing complicated about that, it’s common sense. Far too few parents have common sense, I’ve noticed, and think that the world should be made safe for their children under all circumstances, instead of teaching their children the normal rules of life.

If you think that’s despicable, I hope you don’t have children. OR dogs. I have both, and none have ever escaped, gotten into fights, or been bitten. I’ve never had a pit bull, but I’m thinking about it, thanks to Chet99.

Again, I note that Faith’s dog breed wasn’t shown. For all we know, it could have been another pit.

I have seen a pit bull jump the fence of my brother's neighbors yard .... these dogs are naturally aggressive...
