Blind people?

Glad to hear it came out well in the end BD, how is your son now? His GF is ok too? are they also happy with the news?
I hope this brings the matter to a peaceable close for you all.
neighbour included, even if he doesnt deserve it.

Yeah thanks, they are OK.
Sounds like a conclusion for them - the council now has the next say.
Jnr is even OK with the neighbours - his old man is less charitable.

Just for those following the story - The Pitt bull that savaged my young bloke has been put down....

Did they at least offer for you to do the job with the Uly? Might have taken one or two runs though

I can't get mad at the dumb animal - it's been selectively bred by humans to be a fuck up - not its fault.
It's the people who turned them into what it is and whoever was the complete fucking idiot who made them lawful in NZ in the first place that I'd like a word with.

It is... and it is a shame it gets to bear the brunt of the punishment.

yup...
Glad to hear they did the halfway decent thing in the end, and that Jnr is still ok with dogs.

Spoke to a neighbour on monday morning who had a pittyX attack her dog, and another in the street last week. Her dog is okay, damaged and with a few vet bills, but dont think the other smaller dog was as lucky. The main reason her dog survived? It was a Staffy.
As hard as it sounds sometimes I am glad to have a dog that could at least protect itself (to a certain extent anyway) if attacked... pisses me off that she may have to cos of someone elses ignorance.

Awesome news Dave. At least that is one dog that won't live to see another day!!!

Unfortunately there isn't much stopping the owner from going out and getting another, with potentially similar consequences.

I've heard of owners being prevented by law from owning further dogs after a history of irresponsibility - perhaps that penalty should be dished out more often.

Chuck 'em in a yard full of other people's deranged pitt bulls for 10 minutes too.

Hold that thought. You're currently at Option 7.

Too late "Weasel" beat ya to it

[Big Dave]

What is it with this kid and dogs?!!?!
Dressings are off - 3.2 weeks after the attack.

Yikes,nasty....

I was reminded of this attack last night.....the Pit Bull attacks recently all seem to involve a cat.So last night I walked outside to go around the front of the house to get something out of my Pajero which was on the front lawn.It's very dark outside around this way,but a local white mother cat trotted up to see me - I'm not sure who's she is,even if she's owned,but she has two kittens too.Anyway,she thinks I'm a cool dude and I scooped her up and walked down the drive....then she stiffens and gives a growl.I look over next door,and amongst the cars and junk I see a dog looking through the broken fence....wide forehead and a pink nose.Oh shit,this might not be a good position to be in is a passing thought....I put the cat down and scoot her under the Pajero for protection,then turn and tell the dog to bugger off! She ambled down the drive and I see she's a nursing mother....that was a relief,but it was a hard task for a few microseconds thinking up a contingency plan.Sometimes it doesn't take much to be in the wrong place at the wrong time holding the wrong baby.
