The dog was put to sleep and its head sent to the Veterinary Diagnostic Laboratory at Kansas State University to be tested for rabies.

I love happy endings.

The modern compound bow is capable of resolving a number of these urban/surban problems. More people should have them.

Well, at least they can cryogenically freeze his head and, when they find a cure for whatever killed him (being decapitated, I guess) they can re-attach his head and he’ll be ok.

It’s hysterical how narrow minded you are... by your logic humans should all be exterminated because there are a few really terrible ones that give the entire race a bad name (with or without bad parents).

Pit bulls are just like any other dog... trained well and they’re amazing. They get a bad rap from those who have trained them as fighting dogs....

I found my pit under a house in new orleans... fearful, hungry and beautiful. She plays well with others and has never been aggressive with humans or other dogs (loves cats, too). I see many pits at the dog park I go to and have never seen an instance of unprovoked aggression. My landlord banned pits at his apartments until he met mine.


Here are a few points (taken from the quiz here: http://animal.discovery.com/tv/pitbulls-and-parolees/pitbull-myths-quiz/) ...

Studies show that the jaw of the Pit Bull is in proportion to its size and is no different than any other breed of dog. There is no evidence that any kind of “locking mechanism” exists in the American Pit Bull Terrier.

According to the American Temperament Test Society, Pit Bulls pass the test with flying colors. In fact, the Pit Bull scores 82% or more. The success of Pit Bulls in this series of tests proves they are not naturally mean or violent.

Helen Keller’s canine helper was a Pit Bull.


I encourage you all to take that quiz. You’ll be surprised.

Broaden your horizons... you’ll never be taken seriously for writing off anything in its entirety because of a small representative group. Take a simple research/stats class.

Alabama’s Supreme Court ruled that no genetic evidence exists labeling one breed more dangerous than another:

A study by the National Canine Research Council reveals biased reporting by the media, its devastating consequences for dogs and the toll it takes on public safety.

Consider how the media reported four incidents that happened between August 18th and August 21st:

August 18, 2007 - A Labrador mix attacked a 70-year-old man sending him to the hospital in critical condition. Police officers arrived at the scene and the dog was shot after charging the officers. This incident was reported in one article and only in the local paper.

August 19, 2007 - A 16-month old child received fatal head and neck injuries after being attacked by a mixed breed dog. This attack was reported two times by the local paper only.

August 20, 2007 - A 6-year-old boy was hospitalized after having his ear torn off and receiving severe bites to the head by a medium-sized mixed breed dog. This attack was reported in one article and only in the local paper.

August 21, 2007 - A 59-year-old woman was attacked in her home by two Pit bulls and was hospitalized with severe injuries.

This attack was reported in over two hundred and thirty articles in national and international newspapers, as well as major television news networks, including CNN, MSNBC and FOX.

“Clearly a fatal dog attack by an unremarkable breed is not as newsworthy as a non-fatal attack by a Pit bull” says Karen Delise, researcher for the National Canine Research Council.

People routinely cite media coverage as “proof” that pit bulls are more dangerous than other dogs. Costly and ineffective public policy decisions are being made on the basis of such “proof”. While this biased reporting is not only lethal to an entire population of dogs; sensationalized media coverage endangers the public by misleading them about the real factors in canine aggression.

Man assaults police by throwing pit bull at them. Dog does not bite the officers.

August 20, 2009: St. Petersburg, Florida — An assailant who attacked police officers used a dog, police said, throwing a pit bull at officers not once, but twice.

The dog did not attack the officers either time he was thrown at them.

“That’s a new one,” St. Petersburg police spokesman Bill Proffitt said of the incident involving the dog.

The assault took place at 4114 Fairfield Ave. S. A woman recovering from surgery told police her troubled son refused to leave their home.

The son, Renaldo L. Gary, wouldn’t budge from the doorway, police said. Then he struck Officer Michael Romano, ran outside and grabbed a family pet.

Gary threw the dog at Officer Romano, police said, yanked on the dog’s chain, pulled the animal back to him and then thew it at the officer again.

In stark contrast to the dog, Gary hit Officer Norma Alanis, police said, and shook off two Taser blasts and a dose of pepper gas before the two officers handcuffed him.
