Facebook fans claim the pitbull that ripped the kid apart is not to blame. "But for adults involved, this never would have happened," Schill said. "They're trying to put all the blame on Mickey." I am trying to imagine the adults involved ripping a child apart with their teeth and I still can't. The propaganda that these dogs have an unfair "bad rap" convinces some people to trust the dogs more than they should. Their friends or neighbors scoff at their concerns and tell them to ingore warnings from others because it's just ignorance. Then a kid is mauled and suddenly it's not the dog's fault, it's ONLY the fault people who believed the hype and the dog is the victim?
They also got a pit nutter psychologist to stress pro pit bull talking points. Like I'd respect a pitbull nutter because he has a psychology degree?
I think any dog (regardless of breed) that mauled a child like that should be put down. This isn't just a dog bite, it's years of constructive surgery on the kid's face. The dog was chained. That's known to agravate them. The child picked up a bone from the ground - that could aggravate a dog. But c'mon, mauling? I think that pit nutters always excuse the dog 100% when they read that it was chained up. Oh I hold the owner responsible for this too but then no one is suggesting the owner be euthanized. What is not said is that it's likely the owner became increasingly unsure of his/her/their ability to anticipate or control the dog's agression when they didn't chain it up, and maybe some experience with the dog's surprising ability to break out of kennels, homes, cars etc. A violatile breed with a record of killing more people than all other breeds combined and/so they chained it up and what, hope for the best?
Absolutely.
Kill em all & let PETA sort em out.
In before the usual “it’s the owner, not the breed” canard.
I can summarize: the dog mauled a kid. It needs to be put down. Sadly the owners of the dog haven’t done the honorable thing.
Wonder who’s paying for years of reconstructive surgery? I’m guessing your insurance premiums and the kid’s parents.(No college fund for YOU!)
Consistent with the Left’s insistence on defending the guilty (the dog) and condemning the innocent (the child). They can always be depended upon to do the morally disgusting thing.
no one is suggesting the owner be euthanized
I am starting to think along those lines; give them both a shot....
Cesar the dog whisperer loves pit bulls. But there are 2 episodes where it took quite some time to domesticate those bastards. If they’re lost causes, he keeps them with him on his farm.
"This is not Kevin versus Mickey," said attorney John Schill, who is representing the dog in the court petition. "Having Mickey killed is not going to take away Kevin's pain or injuries. The only thing this is going to do is kill a poor, innocent dog."
SMH.
Ship the dog and/or owner to the Jakarta meat market.
Attack from yesterday....
http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/girl-7-mauled-to-death-by-dogs-near-winnipeg-1.2575514
I've tried to point out to folks here numerous times
that the prevalence of particular types of dogs in a given area
is correlated to the number of attacks by those types of dogs.
It does not mean that all of members of these types of dogs are going to attack.
As the article linked reports...
"The head of the Winnipeg Humane Society said Alaskan malamutes are normally friendly dogs, but any large dogs should be under constant supervision when they’re around children.“Big dogs are of concern with small children,” said Bill McDonald. “It doesn’t matter the breed, whether it is an Alaskan malamute or any large breed dog from a collie to a German shepherd.”
McDonald said he’s only heard of children being mauled to death in the province by packs of dogs on remote First Nations communities.
“It’s usually the case of an aboriginal community with pack animals running at large,” said McDonald. “When you’re talking about a domesticated situation, this one is a bit shocking and tragic for the whole family.”
RCMP said there was adult supervision the day the incident happened, but they were gone for only a minute when the attack happened."
I understand it is easier to react to these incidents than it is to thoughtfully respond
but doing so ignores common factors involved, knowledge of which
could prevent attacks, injuries or deaths, regardless of type or breed.
What will these dog supporters say when he mauls someone else, child or adult?
