NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Allison Walker's mother, Janice, has not left her daughter's bedside at Children's Hospital since Tuesday.
Allison and her friend were riding on their horses on a rural Hardin County back road when three pit bulls ran out of a front yard and attacked the horses.
"The pit bulls just ran out of the yard and attacked the horses. And the other little girl, she got off of her horse. But when Allison started to get off, her foot hung in the stirrup," said Allison's mother.
The fall left her daughter in a coma. The only thing standing between Allison and the pit bulls after she fell was her friend's dog, a chow, who came along for the ride. Walker is grateful. "The chow stayed between the girls and the horses long enough for them to get out and up out of the way," she said.
Walker has been communicating with her daughter through hand signals. "You know mama loves you, she squeezes my hand. You love mama? and she'll squeeze my hand," she said.
What angers Janice Walker is the lack of concern on the part of the owners of the pit bulls. "Why are they so heartless. They haven't even called me to check and see how my child is," she said.
It's Walker's faith that fuels her hope. "God ain't gonna take her now, she's gonna walk out of here," she said. The owners of the pit bulls, according to Walker, received only a citation for not controlling their animals. They are due in court April 6.
The attack on Walker's daughter has encouraged her to change animal control laws in Hardin County. "I'm gonna try my best to have a law, you know, we may have to make it Allison's Law," she said.
No, I'm not saying that.
What I am saying is that your comment,
"Seems to have worked out well in England"... is untrue.
btw...you do realize "pit bull" is not a breed, don't you?
“Pit Bull” has become a defacto “breed”. Yes, I’m well aware that the nomenclature covers a variety of “breeds”. As far as England, the ban is in place. Just because some people have ignored that ban doesn’t mean it isn’t working. By the way, The American Bull Dog and the English Bull Dog, which are not banned in England, are not Pit Bulls.
LOL
“Okay. You win. Kill all pitbulls. Now.”
Great! We agree!
Yep, just as much laughter as from the people in England whose Pit Bull attacks someone and then they have to face the penalty for owning a banned animal that has injured someone. Yes, indeed. Lots of laughs. What a moron. Go make out with your demon spawn.
2) Yet again an attempt to implement a red herring into this story - the sad thing is that you don't even know that you've lost the argument (over and over and over again).
And you're not? Well, actually, more like a rabbid fanatic.
Get help. Maybe have a talk with your pastor.
My pastor be agreeing with me - Pit Bulls should at the very least be strictly controlled.

YOU are the IDIOT/FOOL that lives in a “nanny state!!!
Nobody wears a helmet just to go for a ride on a horse,,,
How many times did you have to shoot that bear anyway!!!
I call BS on that!!!
You must know somebody in the LEO section that gave you a
pass on that one,,,
I think you shot that little bear and threw the gun in
the river to cover your crime in your “nanny state”!,,,
A bear ain't a pit-bull,,,
The first time you poked it with your little knife it
would have turned on you and ripped your ass to pieces,,,
Be`Gone Liar!!!...
I hope you get better meds under Obamacare.
Actually, now that Obozocare has passed the house of ill-repute, Americans will soon have the same great level of health care you Canadians enjoy - oh, wait, I forgot, Canadians use to come to America to receive real health care. Well, damn. I guess you’re sh!t out of luck too!!!
The world is darker today.
