Another sad Pit Story

[mrose_s]

I always thought we were pretty good here with our news about pit's and dog attacks but i guess not.

Just 4 days ago i was walking buster and saw this headline
Cop's pit bull savages girl, 6

I wanted to buy the apaper but i didnt have enough, luckily we had it at home.

but on the way I was thinking
well it was a pit so it wasnt a police dog like a GSD, so there is no reason to mention he is a cop because that has nothing to do with the story and if it was a dog like a cocker, the breed wouldnt be mentioned.

Just goes to show what the media will do. Well anyway, i went to the site and found the article
its here

Something I dont understand,

Do you think a bite by a Pit/GSD/Rott/Dobe/"Insert any other big dog here" and a Shi Tzu is the same as far as lethality goes?

The reason why they usually dont mention breeds or attacks is because of very little damage done. Im sure if any big dog attack and killed or severely mauled a child you would have the breed mentioned. It all hangs on severety of the attack and the person (parents) of the person who was attacked.

exactly, nobody cares if a little dog snaps, except i know that if our little daisy really wanted to go, she could do some serious damage to our faces.

Anyway, its not about that, it doesnt matter what sort of dog attacks, it still happens

Such is the nature of things.

"When the schoolteacher entered the house the pit bull managed to break free of its collar..."

So was the dog chained up?

I cant believe he shot the dog! It was the owners fault for not have trained the dog the right way.

"She said she did not blame the policeman." -Huh ????

I hate it when they shoot them, really, I an't think of a more horrible way to die.

Depending on where they shot them its painless.


Believe it or not, you dont feel nuch pain when you get shot, you feel it later.

Ofcourse that depends on bullet alot, but I dont see cops using hollow points

The policemen returned home and shot the dog.

OK, now that's just stupid. They could at least euthanize it properly.
