Arrested pit bull owner:
It's weird you never see people like this arrested for harboring vicious dogs like this one:
So do you think the Pit Bull breed is being stigmatized?
Where is Chet99 when you need him?
Someone should take the kid over to KFC for some mashed potatoes.
From the article & local PD:
“The dog was tethered to a pole, and the child approached to pet the animal when it attacked.
While responding to the incident, officers used catch-poles to restrain the dog, which continued to “fight and be very aggressive,” police said. The dog was taken to the Adams County Animal Shelter, where it “died from asphyxiation” brought on by the “restraint process,” police said.
Tacket is being held at the Adams County Jail.”
Interesting.
1. Dog was on a tether when unsupervised toddler toddles up to strange dog.
2. Strange dog can’t escape and bit unsupervised toddler.
3. Officers from PD put choke pole on dog and then claim dog was aggressive towards them.
4. Dog is choked to death by Police Persons.
5. Dog chokers then charge dog owner.
Might I here note the Police ‘dog chokers’ should have continued their usual ‘chicken choking’ behavior rather than killing a dog whose only sin seems to have bitten an unsupervised child who approached it.
The Dog Chokers should have arrested the parents for not supervising their child.
BAD COP! NO DONUT!
“The child was among a group of individuals traveling across the country, according to 7News. The group had set up a small camp in the parking lot to the south of the King Soopers. The pit bull and its owner were also staying in the same location but were not known to the other group.”
What does this mean? Strange wording. A group of people travelling in RVs or Airstreams? Or a group of “Travellers”? Why was this woman staying in the same location?
That woman doesn’t look too happy. Maybe she’s upset over the injured child. Maybe.
Stupid comment.
I am not in favor of pit bulls, and stay away from them.
However, the woman probably will be found to be in financial difficulty, living in less than safe places, and wanted a protective dog.
I do sympathize with the parents, but they are the ones at fault.
Somebody owes the owner money and a NEW DOG.
As the parents didn’t choke the dog, the PD should settle with the owner.
YMMV.
I’m curious, what does that mean?
I’m sure she wanted protection and not having the freedom to purchase a gun for that, she chose the only thing other than a bat which is also illegal.
However, all dogs need training. ALL dogs!
I read you, UC.
Let ‘em froth...
LoL, I was assuming this was his post under a pseudonym
To answer your questions, a local Denver news channel did a vid story on this last night and the “group” camping out in the supermarket parking lot looks like a ragtag band of peripatetic meth heads, sorta like Deadheads but only with the meth part and no music, or a latter day group of Gypsies from the crackburbs of Detroit rather than mother-ship Romania.
Yeah, well the pitbull’s owner certainly has that look about her - that was my first thought when I saw her picture, anyway: “meth head”.
