Armed Neighbors End Dog Attacks

Well, there you have it. Had the guy had a normal clip load, he would not have to reload his handgun to defend against wild dogs. I mean what are people thinking? That we can predict a society, a people and dogs? You might as well be superstitious in Voodoo spirits if one claims such ability.

Isn't it strange how people, states and animals tend to remain calm for a while, and then, when the victim is weak and "provokes" an attack by laughing at TV, they suddenly attack for no particular sane reason.... beware, keep your guns.

my comment might as well apply to the folly of nuclear disarmament....

If the dogs were mini-pins, this never would have happened.

I dearly miss my mini-pins. :o(

You seem to be trying to make some point here, but I'll be hanged if I know what it is.

IMO, it is NUTS to have one of these dogs in your home. You read about these random attacks with fair regularity. It used to be that people would dismiss them saying "these were dogs who were trained to kill," except that you see it with "family pets" as often as not.

We had a friend whose daughter almost died after being attacked by a Rottweiler years ago. The owner refused to get rid of the dog, and for some reason at that time (this was some years ago, in Alabama) the authorities couldn't do anything about it.

So one day, the father took care of it himself, with a bullet through the dogs brain early one morning, about 4:30, when no one was there to witness it.

It was a sad, inexplicable death of a "beloved family pet."

How he was missed.

[EggsAckley]

These dogs BELONGED to the victim, right? Very puzzling.

I am not against dogs or people, I just don't bow to them.

As a dog lover I hate to say this but a friend reminded me of a better way. 1/2 gallon of anti freeze in a dish by your mailbox sends bad dogs home to die on there own turf.

I love dogs but my neighbors rottweillor chased my kids and wife through my yard once to many times. I wanted to shoot it but my other neighbor filed a lawsuit when his kid got nipped and the dog vanished the next day.

I love my minipin, Bebe. She is brilliant, for a dog, and so much fun! She's only two, I've had her since she was little (she's STILL little) very tolerant and playful with children, and a shadow, wherever I walk in the house...

[Lazamataz]

I had two minipins, "Thor, Dog of Thunder" and my beloved "Penny Pinscher". I trained Thor incredibly well, at only 12 months he had a repitoire of about 5 or 6 tricks.

I miss them terribly.

How horrible. If only we had better gun control laws, these three family pets would still be alive today.

We don't even have good statistics on how many Rottweilers and pit bulls are victims of this senseless gun violence every day in America, but I'll bet it's at least 50.

Yep, 50 little doggy lives wasted in this senseless gun violence, every day.

If they can only catch the bastards that shot them, maybe we can imprison them and take the off the street permanently.

Curiously, I am anti-bow. No archery or ribbons-on-gifts are allowed around me.

[lavaroise]

My point is that there is science about things and there is pseudoscience speculating about people's behaviors and animal behavior in the line of they're all so cute, we all provoke them etc...

So when a liberal keeps saying "they have no guns in Europe, that is why it is safe there", you have to ask yourself the question: what about the Nazi and communist crimes? What about if the US did not exist? Would it still be safe there? It's inevitable that a state of virtual colonization by a minority and preferential treatment of certain people in arbitrary manners because of some elite status or some "educational" level, leads invariably to this kind of scene where a trusted dog, a trusted state or a trusted provider viewing another one as an inferior can turn against it in most violent and sudden manners, without specific explanation. Truth is a two way street and requires effort and recognition from everyone. People cannot remain too long as gods of the truth safely, no matter what their educational or scientific achievement is. Science only applies deterministicaly to things, not to people, lest superstition becomes the norm, IMO.

Harr, a librarian's assistant at Jimmie B. Keel Regional Library near Carrollwood, said he fired the rest of his bullets at the third dog,...

A librarian with a gun? Well ... good thing he had it.

[Servant of the Nine]

What kind of lunatic has dogs in their house who would attack their family members and friends under any circumstances?

You can have Rotties or Pit Bulls, but if you have a good one, the small children can bite it and it won't even growl back. If it ever so much as growls at a family member, it shoud be put down.

Mr. Green needs to lose custody of his daughter before he gets her killed.

Speaking of mad dogs, our military and civil defense outfits are growingly busy with certain foreign and/or domestic mad dogs; meaning that a well armed citzenry (the "militia" mentioned in the 2nd Amendment) is needed -- today -- within every dwelling in America.

[lavaroise]

Ribbons? Now that is a fancy way of seeing it.

[Sunnyvale CA Eng.]

"1/2 gallon of anti freeze in a dish by your mailbox sends bad dogs home to die on there own turf.

Unfortunately this method does not discriminate between good dogs and bad.

[lavaroise]

Do you mean we should acquire dogs too? I heard the police is now putting titanium prothesis on their dogs.
