Woman's arm almost severed in dog attack (Pit Bull Alert)
ABC (Australia) ^

Posted on 03/22/2010 11:26:52 PM PDT by Chet 99

A woman is in serious condition after being attacked by her own dog at Portland in western Victoria.

Ambulance officers say both of the woman's arms are badly injured and they described one of them as being "partially amputated".

She also has horrific facial injuries.

Police believe a family member alerted neighbours to the attack at the woman's flat in Pile Street.

When the neighbours arrived, they could see the woman being mauled by the pit bull Staffordshire cross.

They entered the house by smashing a glass panel in the front door.

“We have no understanding of why the dog attacked. It was completely unprovoked.”

Seems this is the usual comment.

I have to ask Chet, were you bitten by pitbulls at some point? Why the interest? Seriously.

Chet’s mom ran off with a Pitt Bull and he has been angry every since. Thank God he is not obsessed with porno. I wonder if he even contributes money to FR since it finances his obsession.

Posters Number 4 and 5 are using Alynski’s rule number 5 against you Chet .

A woman who owned one of these kind ,loyal, animals gets eaten and they ridicule the Poster.

The article doesn’t make it clear, but I’m assuming that the dog belonged to the bitee.

Yes, Chet is obsessed with attacking these sweet, innocent, harmless little furballs.

This latest attack was obviously the owner’s fault. I bet that poor little pitbull was being fed nothing but dog food and hadn’t been served a toddler in over a month!

Indeed, but that is relevant neither to the question posed nor my response to it.

I.e., I don’t know what you mean. Please elaborate.

If you don’t like the message, don’t click on the thread. typical liberal tactic, rididule the messenger if you don’t want the message out in the public. Thanks Chet for the update on the dog of peace that will never turn on its owner or their children...

I don’t care how many threads Chet uses his freedom of speech to post. He can post as many as he wants, and I’ll still ridicule him, not because of some perceived liberal tactic, but because CHET is against FREEDOM OF CHOICE of AMERICANS to own the breed they want to own.

A LIBERAL tactic is to BAN A BREED “for the children.” A LIBERAL tactic is to DEMONIZE A BREED, ie Dobermans, German Shepherds, Pit Bulls, while completely indifferent to the individual dog. A LIBERAL tactic is to LIE ABOUT THE OWNERS of the demonized breed, stating they have depraved indifference to the safety of humans. A LIBERAL tactic is to POST ARTICLE AFTER ARTICLE ABOUT ONE BREED, ignoring every other breed of dog. A LIBERAL tactic is to MISIDENTIFY THE DOG as a Pit Bull, when it is a hybrid, a mutt, or some other breed mistaken for a pit.

I don’t take kindly to being called liberal by ANYBODY on FR. I don’t like Chet’s message, and I’ll click on the thread if I want. I’ll comment if I want. And I’ll call you on your lies about LIBERAL TACTICS.

I have to ask you, why direct vitriole at the poster of this article? Are you so in love with this beast (pit bull) that despite ample evidence the breed is dangerous) you just don’t care about the injuries suffered by those attacked? Pathetic.

You think FREEDOM is funny? You think calling FREEPERS who support it is funny? You think it’s funny when somebody on FR who has been here for nearly 10 years doesn’t like being called “liberal”? You think it’s funny that I’m angry?

Seriously, what are you laughing about?

I’m a little tired of people wanting stuff banned “for the children.”

First guns. Then cigarettes. Now salt, and HCFS, and Pepsi. Next, any dog over 10 pounds. Next, anything the TRUE liberals don’t like.

Honestly, this is FREE REPUBLIC. In what used to be America.

CHET is against FREEDOM OF CHOICE of AMERICANS to own the breed they want to own.

He must have said that on a different thread. I don't see him commenting at all here.
