Time to hunt pitbulls? I think so

Heatherj43

WTF??? I am stuck on the part that she put her kid in the basement???!!!! Why didn't she put the dogs in the basement? The kid likely did not come upstairs to be near the dogs, but to oh...say...use the bathroom, eat food, play in his room, whatever. The dogs should had been in the basement. He wouldn't had been near them then!!! DUH?
My daughter was mauled by a known viscious dog when she 8. She lived, but it put a huge hole in her ankle, cut up her thumb, and left her entire right side of her body purple.
She had to be hospitalized.
WHat happened was that my ex took her to his sister's out of state. The sister lives in the hills of Kentucky. She has a couple dogs. One is chow. She was told to go out to play, but stay away from the dogs.
She was 8...those idiots!!!!
Anyway, my daughter claims the dog came to her, not her to it. It was real bad. My ex and the sis yelled at my daughter for this.
Adults should be criminally charged for crap like this.
The dog who got my daughter, and the adults, got away with this. In hindsight....I wish I had pursued it more.

When I was a kid (7-8) I was over at some friends of my parents who had a pitbull. I was by myself watching tv and the dog came over and wouldn't leave me alone. It kept trying to bit my shoes! Fucker!
Anyways, I get up to go elsewhere cause the damn dog was pissing me off. I walk away and the stupid fuckin' dog jumps on my back and knocks me over. It didn't bite me or anything but it scared the shit outta me!
I am NOT a fan of these dogs at all!

obviously. sheesh. :rolleyes:

then perhaps she can explain to us why she told her son to stay in the basement until she returned. if the dog was so loving why the precaution?

and thus she expected the male to defend what he saw as his. which he did.

You asked why the precaution if the dog is so loving. You mean to say that you were just thinking out loud? It was a rhetorical question, so to speak?

It's hard for me to believe this kid was 12 years old. When I was 12, I understood what it meant to stay far away from a possessive pit bull. I'm not saying this mom was right to put her kid in the basement, but if I was that kid, I wouldn't have come out of that basement. Or I at least would've made a bee-line for the front door. Then I would've used my neighbor's phone to call child protection services to tell them that my mom is a nutjob who expects me to hide in the basement so that the family pitbulls can roam freely in the house. I would've grabbed a baseball bat from the garage and carried it with me at all times. I would've spent my allowance on a couple of chocolate bars and slipped them into the dog food.

This is why inbreeding is a bad thing.

Do not blame the dogs for the failures of their owners. Pitbulls can be wonderful pets when properly raised and cared for. Slaughtering innocent dogs is something we should be ashamed of, not calling for.

They are illegal here....does it help?No because people that want a dog to be agressive,or those people that are in need of a dog like that to help boost their ego are going to buy another kind of dog and turn it into a agressive dog.It is the parents that should be punished....sad fact is that the dog that did this is never going to be able to be around kids again,it wil do this again.It is weird anyway that the dogs had the house to wonder in and the kid was send to the basement....she put the dog in a dominant position over the kid.Hope she get's a good amount of jailtime.

I had a Rottie for 12 years, sweetest dog that ever lived. They're not for everyone though. I wouldn't recommend them to people who don't have a lot of experience with dogs because they're very strong-willed and they tend to be out of control with people who don't know what they're doing, and with their size and strength they can be very dangerous when they're not well behaved.

It wasn't his dog. It was the dog 4 doors down. The owner was supposed to muzzle the dog in public, due to the previous attack this dog was involved in. Unreal, the amount of times dogs who do stuff like this, have done it before, and nothing was done.

Excellent point!! You can turn a labrador retriever into a fierce killing machine if you treat it badly enough.

There are no bad dogs, just bad people. Sadly, the dogs have to suffer.

Stiffer penalties for people who torture dogs, who then hurt people.

So let's see a woman leaves her 12 year old son with a pack of crazy dogs and wonders what happened?

This is a classic case of being an idiot. Dogs are animals, they typically have a dominant male that will fight to death if he feels threatened. Case solved.

Some stupid mother left her underage child alone with naturally violent animals and the dynamics of nature unfolded.

This woman deserves nothing. She is clearly incapable of looking after both a pitbull and a child.
