Another good reason to carry a firearm.
Link no workee.
Sorry bout that.
Nothing good happens at 2am. I hope they find the owners of these pitt's.
Pit bull owners are a lot like drunk drivers, except that ... Hmmmm ....
Well, actually, there is no difference.
Seems to me the Pit Bull Maulings have picked up steam in the last year. Either that, or bad news travels faster much faster than good news. Could some of these dogs be of a similar strain of Pit Bull that is somewhat new to the united states? Not all the Pits are this way, but its unfortunately common for owners of this breed to be careless and negligent, allowing the dogs to wander then cluster into packs. Maybe this breed should mean the owner has to undergo training to make sure they know what kinds of fences work, what kinds of collars or leashes work, what kinds of discipline work or don’t work. This is like buying an unloaded gun that will eventually be fully automatic. Is the owner ready?
The old (black) lady next door to me lets her grandson breed and raise pits in chicken-wire coops in her backyard. I’m sure they’re fighting dogs, because they get sold and go away at a certain point, and these dogs have no human contact. He comes in once in a while and takes the puppies away and throws a bag of straw and droppings out for the city to take away (the place stinks).
If that old lady ever falls down within range when she totters out there, she’ll be fodder.
Or at least a sharp knife to cut the hamstring.
Very cleverly stated. I’m inclined to believe, and certainly I may be totally off base about it, that you are not a defender of pit bulls as the sweet, docile pets they are and are the vicious killers they occasionally demonstrate themselves to be due to their owners’ discretion. So instead of calling out the breed and inviting harangues of all kinds you opted out by touting the safety that a gun provides. Again, it’s merely conjecture and am probably wrong, wrong wrong, way off base.
I’ve been watching an Italian detective show. One epi, year forgotten, managed to work a charity providing assistant dogs into a mystery involving drugs, tax evasion, murder, and of course, dog fighting.
Another good reason to carry a firearm.
Never mind the old lady, what about you? Doesn’t it scare you to think a dog might get out someday?
Pittbulls don’t kill people, their irresponsible owners do.
Not always true. A dog, unlike a gun, can and will act on impulse from time to time, no matter their training and that is especially true in the terrier breeds, , and more apt to do so when in a pack environment.
real cute slippers.....:O)
What is it about reports of bloody maulings and gory, hideous killings by pit bulls that brings out the jokes in pit bull lovers? I mean, I was in a fun mood until I read about a woman ripped apart by dogs (pit bulls) and then I was in a somber mood. You? You’re different. Is that joke picture your way of celebrating the latest pit bull kill?
