Re: Yet another dog kills a child...
I was reminded of a story I read a couple of years ago about a family in America who had a pit bull. The father heard his son scream and ran to the barn where he saw his son lying injured and the dog with blood round its mouth. Without hesitation he shot the dog but the boy screamed out NO! as the dog fell dead and only then did the father see the wolf that the dog had killed which had attacked the boy. :(

Re: Yet another dog kills a child...
The point to the story was that the Dad misjudged the dog. I was just reminded of it when I looked at those links. We don't have many rattle snakes here either but there was a story about a dog saving a child from one of those. I suppose what we are both trying to say is that you can't tar all of one breed or similar breeds with the same brush. Some of those American Pit Bulls have rescued people just as some Alsations and other dogs have done here.
The dog in the news story was already known to be a problem dog and any problem dog should be dealt with before a tragedy like the death of the child happens. Princess Anne's dog had already bitten a child before it killed one of the Queen's corgis. It should have been put down after the attack on the child. Any dog should, whatever the breed. We got a dog from Bleakholt once and it bit my mother. I told them we couldn't possibly keep it after that but they insisted that it should be returned to Bleakholt as we only had it on approval at that stage. I would have been happier to have handed the dog over to the RSPCA for putting to sleep but we had no authority to do that unfortunately. I couldn't help wondering if it had ever bitten anyone else and how many other unsuspecting families were going to be encouraged to adopt it. It was a lovely looking dog, a black shaggy haired thing. |

Any dog that shows aggresive tendancies (inc one's belonging to higher powers) should be delt with appropriatly, whether this be a Pit Bull, Rotty, Alsation, Poodle. All Dogs are dangerous, certain breeds would cause more damage as they are bigger, just as certain cars are more dangerous as they are faster. |
Re: Yet another dog kills a child...
A girl I worked with had a long haired German Shepherd. It was a huge thing which looked even bigger with all its fluffy hair. When she took it for walks people gave them a wide berth. One day I stopped to talk to her when she was out with the dog and he must have been getting a bit fed up at this interruption to his walk as he bared his fangs and growled at me, then barked. It was quite intimidating but I just said "Oh shut up! I'm not impressed." and he sank down onto the ground with a "humph!" ;)

Re: Yet another dog kills a child...
'Meanwhile, residents said that Simpson, a bodybuilder, bragged about owning the aggressive breed.
"Kiel (Simpson) used to let the dog off loose on the playing field behind his house," said one young mother, who was too afraid to be named. "It was off its lead with no muzzle and would run around frightening people. It was clear he liked to intimidate people, he thought it was a big laugh to see them scared." Another neighbour said the 12-month-old dog had been "trained" to attack others.' Like I said earlier, whilst d*ckheads like this carry on having these dogs, more children will be maimed and die.:( |

Re: Yet another dog kills a child...
Maybe shoot the things on site is the answer. If the NI police have no quarms about putting them down by law, though a toothless one at that the its about time it happened here. These animals can be too dangerous and shouldnt get a second chance. I know people that have had and still have bull terriers and terriers in various forms and they dont have problems with them but do err on the side of caution. This includes my mum who has a staffie/english cross. It can be a fun animal but gets carried away when having fun but has a yellow streak that is on the large side.
