Gotta side with the poodle owner on this one. I would have shot the damn pit bull.
why the hell would they arrest a guy for killing that POS mutt?

All dogs from the smallest to the largest should be on a leash no longer than 6 feet long and controlled by the owner at all times when outside of the house and a secure fenced yard.
That’s already an almost universal law/ordinance.

Fine them both.
Boy that brings back bad memories of a dalmatian, a case of beer an a broken door...
This is the reason that lifting the tax stamp requirement for an effective silencer is so important for city and suburban dwellers. A 22 cal automatic pistol with a modern silencer allows this to be handled humanely and privately. Same for Coyotes, Raccoons attacking dogs, snakes, etc.
Kill the put bull.
Anytime an animal comes onto your property, assuming it is fenced, it becomes fair game. I prefer my bow as they’re got a problem with firearms being discharged within the city limits. Had to deal with a neighbor’s terrier coming after my hens. No muss, no fuss, no police. Just invited him over for a neighborly chat and no problem since.
Now the foxes are an entirely different matter.
“Pit,” not “put.”
I was walking through the parking lot at the beach this morning, and a medium sized dog rushed at me and bit at my leg. I pulled back and he only got clothing in his bite.
I walk there almost daily. The dogs are supposed to be on leashes. This guy was not holding on carefully enough to restrain his dog before it reached me.
I yelled at the owner to get the animal out of the area, since obviously it is not well enough trained, and he is not careful enough with it.
The guy was upset with me for telling him to get his animal out of the public area.
I am not afraid, but I am concerned if an animal would bite me, he could do the same with a small child. And of course with an owner unable/unwilling to restrain the animal they have no business in such a public place.
The owner happened to be Asian. By the time he was leaving, I had made no reference to race whatsoever.
But he did. He called me “something bleep American.”
A jury I’d like to be on!
The breed of peace strikes again.
Well, it’s California, so...
That Pit would have been put down by the authorities, why charge the heartbroken owner of the dead dog for doing what was going to happen anyway at a fraction of the cost of Gubermint getting involved.
Probably the owner, and not the dog, that needed shooting.
He probably slit its throat while trying to get it to release its grip on his dog’s throat.
And never forget that the idiocracy holds dog life higher than unborn humans.
I found that a 12 guage loaded with bird shot will NOT kill a pit bull unless you shoot him three or four times. Now I use a minimum of #4 buck or bigger.
Why bird shot? Because many of the home defense books in the past recommended it for home defense as it will not go through several walls.
Surprise surprise! It won’t go deep enough into a pit bull either!
