FAIRBANKSA Fairbanks man critically shot a pit bull in Aurora Subdivision on Wednesday evening after it attacked another dog being walked by two girls.
The pit bull was shot twice in the head and later euthanized by a veterinarian, according to Fairbanks police officer Doug Welborn.
The 12- and 16-year-old girls were walking their rat terrier on the 2000 block of Bridgewater Drive when the attack happened. The girls were not injured, but the pit bull's owner was bitten while trying to stop the attack, according to Welborn.
Vern Woods, 80, told the Daily News-Miner he was home watching TV when he saw the two girls come out of their house with their dog on a leash. They crossed to Woods' side of the street and were taking pictures when the pit bull "came out of nowhere at a dead run." . . .

You and me both. Dog parks are poison, not just for attacks but also disease. I live with little pugs and man or beast who would do harm to them are already dead but don’t know it.
I’ve never been a fan of German shepherds either.
They are one of the most nervous dogs going. That’s why they get used so much in the military and law enforcement. Their fight or flight kicks in real easy, and they fight everytime.
I think thats three of us on the usual kill all pit bulls thread
Remember back in the 80’s when the “dog to hate de jour” was the German Shepard?
Then after that it was the doberman?
Then the Rottweiler?
The media ran story after story of above breeds being “eeeeeviiiiil”?
That made me chuckle actually
I just got out of the hospital yesterday after a pretty risky revolutionary cardiac procedure I traveled 500 miles to Chicago for from Nashville
I thought damn Im still alive and dont feel beat up enoug considering my entire groin and abdomen is eggplant from heparin and catheters coming and going
So Ill go on a pitbull thread and try to say something besides execute all Pitbulls and their owners
So I can really get some warm fuzzy going
Lol
Nothing illustrates the personalities here better than a pit bull thread
Use to be Creationist versus Evo threads back in the old high volume early days
Anyhow
Good to see you
Makes me miss shibumi
Bet you do too
“I doubt any DA would even charge me with anything.”
You might not want to be overly optimistic on that score. Many DAs are barking moonbats from Planet Commie Scumbag.
Wikipedia Fatal Dog Attacks
I didn’t know Wiki had articles like that.
Remember Encyclopedia Brittanica? Hundreds of dollars for articles written on a high-school level.
Back then nobody even guessed what we would have.
“Didn’t know they were so hard to kill. “........
Just use a larger caliber gun, place your shot carefully and one shot will definitely do it.
Sorry, no. I am not Chet99.
Again, and for the record, I am not Chet99.
Link to Charlotte-Mecklenburg’s (NC) animal shelter/adoption center.
There are 54 dogs available for adoption...most of which are Pit Bulls.
Right, thank you.
Of course any defense can be easily defeated by greater aim and greater firepower. It’s the lesson of modern warfare. It’s why Terminators have extensive files on human anatomy.
I am very glad that you are still alive; please stay that way. I did not know that you just underwent surgery; please heal completely.
Your comment here bothers me:
So I can really get some warm fuzzy going
Lol

I do not know what to begin to say here, except that regarding your post describing your child being attacked by one of your “American Bulldog” pit bull type dogs, and your then ‘re-homing’ the dog makes me hope very much that your family do not have to pay the ultimate price for you keeping them.
I was ‘speaking’ to the author of that statement in the article posted.
You did read the article that you posted, right?
...or were you in too great a hurry to get the headline on to the FR feed?
I apologize for my error. Yes, I did read the article before posting it. Sometimes the comments overlap, as well as my answers. That is what I thought had happened. My mistake. Please forgive me.
I did consider waiting to post this article until today, but it was either this one, or a whole slew of attacks that turned up in the feeds about pit bull attack victims defending themselves with knives - —vs firearms, which is what produced a discussion of the relative merits of various dog attack defenses. I thought this one was especially interesting because of the age of the good samaritan.
Haven't had to pull this one out lately....
Great news hearing that you are ok after this cardiac procedure. I hope it has improved your health. Take it easy for a few days:)
I guess I not exactly against poisoning a dog, I’ll have to think about it. I’m against poisoning a dog with Ethylene Glycol.
