Pit bulls

[Big Dave]

My son and his girlfriend were attacked by a pit bull terrier this afternoon.
he's in hospital having some very nasty leg and hand wounds dressed.
The dog was next door to their house, chained up and being minded for a friend by the neighbor. the thing broke it's chain, chased and killed a cat and then set upon them in it's wound up state as they were walking up their driveway.
Animal protection have the dog now. Police, everything. If they don't put it down I'll.....take appropriate action.

Second time it's happened to the poor bugger. Once when he was 8 as well.

Fucking pit bulls! - I'm a dog lover and we have a dog for security too, but with these bastards you may as well leave loaded guns lying around.

Fark!! that's no good BD. Make sure ya kick the owners arse while you're at it. I believe dogs don'r get born bad - they are made to be that way by their treatment.

Shit... As a dog owner and a father I'm bloody sorry to hear that Dave.

First thoughts are for your son and his lady friend and if you want a hand killing the bastard thing, let me know. Not only are those things a bloody menace, they screw it up for all the lovable mutts of the world.

Now... Once thats done, I'd suggest a chat with the owner as well...

[crashe]

Shit...... I hope your son and his g/f are gonna be ok...

Im pleased that animal protection have seized the dog.... and hopefully appropreate (sp) action will be taken by the police.

[Buster]

Bloody hell mate, thats not good . I hope they make a speedy recovery. As for the dog... well I hope the cops hold the owners fully responsible for what it did.

Not good to hear Dave, hope none of the wounds are serious.

I hope the owner is severly punished, Pit bulls are not bad dogs, it is the owner who makes the dog what it is. A good example is my mothers dog (staffi, pitbull and ridgeback), she was bred for fighting but not wanted. The dog is the biggest wuss you'll ever meet now.

The only dog that I know of which will kill for the sake of killing regardless of training is an Alaskan Malamute. In all other cases, punish the owners.

I'd love to be a dog lover - but pit bulls and the whole big tough dog culture that's happened in the last 20 odd years makes me hate the suckers.When I was a kid there was no such thing as a bad dog....

Hope the boy pulls through with no problems Dave,it's a sad world when you can't even walk up your own driveway.

Must have been on P???

Edit: All the best to your son Big Dave

[mstriumph]

should be the owners that are 'put down' mebbe .......
..... apart from the fact that the chain obviously wasn't strong enuff to hold the pooch it's my personal feeling that it's nasty to chain a dog up anyway - turns 'em sad & unpredictable....

[when i rule the world, anyone doin it will be chained up themselves, see how THEY like it - bastards!]

There is nothing you can say or dog you can show me that will change my mind. The chromosomes are wrong - same as crossing a Shepherd with a Collie - 90% chance of a neurotic. I've got the scars to prove it.

No doubt there is some good ones (pits) - but they have been bred for these characteristics.

hey sory to hear this dave give my reguards to son and girlfriend and hang in there dude don't do anything rash as the owner is prodably a cock and would take u to court if you did something
more than one one to skin a cat or some one else can take care of the problem

[WINJA]

ITS A SINGLE PURPOSE DOG AND I DONT SEE THE POINT OF ALLOWING THEM TO LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY , THERE SO MANY PEOPLE SAYING THERE GREAT PETS ETC ETC , BUT FOR THE SAKE OF THE MASSES WE SHOULD LET THE BREED DIE OUT , THERE ARE ALTENATIVE DOGS YOU CAN USE FOR PROTECTION SO THERE NO EXCUSE , I THINK ITS SO GAY WHEN I SEE THE LOCALS WALKING ROUND WITH A PITTY STRAINING AT THE LEASH TRYING TO LOOK TOUGH

[Fatjim]

Your right WINJA. What do we gain by having them? Nothing. The breed is bad. Beautiful pets until they take the neighbours face off. You can't blame the owner, he wasn't there. This is one case where I think the gummint should legislate to protect it's citizens. Certain breeds ARE bad. So cola, have to disagree with you on this one.

Hey thanks all,

Yeah, I'm cool, (it's not my leg) - appropriate action - it's in the hands of the authorities first - with whom I have indicated i want the matter persued to the fullest. Then lawyers at 20 paces if that doesn't work.

Further options i would not disclose here.
