I was crossing the street once and as I started to move across the street, I heard a noise behind me like a broken chain saw trying to cut wood and hit a nail. I turned and looked and there were two pitbulls chained in a yard with HEAVY chains that were GROWLING and lunging at me. That horrendous noise was the dogs.
They had got loose once and the police who responded to the call wouldn’t even get out of the car. Why they just didn’t shoot the dogs was beyond me. The owner finally had to get rid of them but they always scared me, a lot.
Any dogs running wild are eligible for shooting in my book. I’m certainly no fan of pitbulls, but feral dogs of any breed are a problem.
I understand completely what you are talking about. A few years ago one of my children was chased home by two pit bulls and the chase led right up to the front door. Luckily, the door wasn’t locked. That’s scary. It wasn’t too soon after that the local paper had a story of a woman being mauled while taking a walk in the neighborhood by a pit bull.
