People with these dogs should get mandatory 5 years if the dog attacks anyone, life if they kill someone. Like the neighbor, a dog growls and appears to ready an attack on my kids, it will be dead without hesitation and I will then sue the owner for putting us in that situation.

Zero details to make any judgments. maybe the girl was wearing a raw porkchop around her neck. that's what my parents did to get the dog to play with me. /s.. OK a person needs details. no charges were filed yet. too sketchy to judge. but we all know it wasn't a pug that attacked her and sent her to the hospital.

It is the responsibility of dog owners to keep their dogs off of other people.

Pit bull owners are ready on their haunches to spring into claims that it was a weenie dog.

The pit bull’s owners should be punished.

Sorry, when I read all caps, I tune out. Always feels like someone is yelling at me needlessly.

George said the dog's owners were “very cooperative with police and very concerned about the health and well-being of their friend.”

Their insurance carrier should be equally concerned.

I’d say “Cue the apologists!” But they’re pretty mean. Following last week’s fatal attack one compared me to a laxative. After Tuesday’s fatal attack another one lectured me from his high horse. It’s late. Let’s just allow the apologists sleep, rather than waking them by expressing the view that this vile breed of killers ought to be wiped off the face of the earth.

At your link, Alex Maddox’s comment included:
“This little brat obviously provoked the poor little angel and deserves EVERYTHING she got and now the “Public Safety spokeswoman “ the owners and the EVIL neighbor are covering it. he should be charged, but it won’t happen.”

but .. but he was turning his life around. He was going to be a Basset Hound.

When I moved to the south I saw more people with scarred up arms or scarred up faces. Didn’t take long to figure out why.

While I’m not necessarily in favor of wiping out an entire breed of dog, these dogs in particular NEED to be regulated as strictly as firearms - with a mandatory registration, yearly renewal, owner responsible for all associated fees, $1,000,000 liability insurance and absolutely NO CRIMINAL BACKGROUND for owners.

Goldens would lick you to death at worst.

Labs would probably beat you to death with their tail.

I don’t see too many reports of that happening with either breed.
