[Guest strapper]

another loophole in the law allowed this dog to live after biting a woman who called to its house........please read...i think the law should be changed.

I agree with you there Paul, what if this had been a young kid,  :-/

If it was one of mine that done that i'd shoot it myself!

If we as humans bit someone who came onto our properties we'd get done for GBH etc so it goes without saying that this should be applied to Dogs.   They say the law is an Ass this proves it.  :-/

[Guest strapper]

the way i see it is...there is a law that states that you as an owner must have your dog fully under control..this is one law they use against you if you let your dog wander the street.

also that you cannot allow your dog to harm or cause damage to a neighbours property.

so why can a dog bite a caller to your property and get away with it....isnt this the same rule of

keeping your dog under control?

 

the part i find appalling is..they will allow this dog to return to the property where there are young children there..surely where is the owners sense..this dog has shown its worth as a pet..or should we say guard dog.

Kennel in the sky if it was ma pet, no room for it, if its going to carry on doing this.

the law states that providing the property has a sign on it saying there is a dog loose in the property they are covered the woman who owns should be punished not the dog if this lady caller was a burglar we would all be praising the animal, the woman knowing the dog is a bit suspect should have put it away so therefore she is at fault

Very true. We have a sign on the gate (not that the dogs are aggressive), we know when the postman comes etc and keep them in. If any cold callers come its their own fault such as window sales etc if we wanted them we'd call them, so its their own fault as far as im concerned. The dog was only doing its job protecting its home  :-/

[Guest slugmonkey]

Lets face it these folks aint to smart to begin with what do they need a staffie for anyway what do they really have in an apartment that needs that much protection I can just about garantee this is a bad situation all the way around these people probably arent equipped to own a chichua much less a 100+ lb viscous dog !!!! I think you should have to apply for a liscense and carry special insurance to own these types of dogs as most that own them cant afford them and are up to no good anyway yes I said it they are either fighting them or using them to imtimidate the other drug dealers

your thinking of am staffs most british staffs around the 50 lb mark if that there are exceptions to this tho

[Guest slugmonkey]

Vallance I agree 100%

although they are just like racing pigeons they were bred with 1 purpose and you shouldnt penalize them for doing there job

 

 

AND THAT JOB IS NOT BEING A LAP DOG !!!!!

[chickadee]

Our Staffie is great with everyone except the postie and Valiant. The postie is a common enemy of dogs as it sees them as trying to invade their property every day but we cannot understand why out of all the visitors we get it only bites Valiant ;D ;D ;D

 

If it just attacked someone and caused serious damage as in this case we would have it euthanized as it could be a kid next time

too true ...and it could be one of her own next time...then how will she feel!!!

Any dog that attacks without provocation couldn't ever be trusted in the future, no matter breed of dog or age/size of victim.

 

 

[blaz]

the dog should be put down.

[Fair Play]

surely if she was a representative of the housing association going about her duty then the association should have the right to prosecute the tenent or terminate her tenency (which most people don't read) as effectively the woman was attacked on their property  :-/

i have to disagree do we not have show racers that have never used there wings in anger so we also have show dogs but unlike in  the u.s the vast majority of staffords and there ancestors havent seen a dog pit for decades although dog fighting still happens underground in certain places it has been illegal since the 1800 s and theres many a pit dog that wouldnt  dream of attacking a human,. again the majority of cases where this do's happen its the owner and not the dog at fault...i like greyhounds but wouldnt race it should i be banned from keeping one as im not using it for what it was originally bred

[Guest grizzler]

to many people buy a dog and dont even give them basic training, to me they are not fit to own a dog. i hope the poor woman decides to sue the owner.

true mate like i said its the owner not the dog in the wrong hands blaz i dont doubt for 1 minute your dogs could be lethal but its comments like slugs that condemed many a good pit bull in this country  slug im sorry my friend but i have to say you are wrong on this matter,i am not the most financially secure person you could meet but what i have got i have been lucky enough to get it as a gift or as a matter of great tightening of belts by myself and partner so it means more to me than its actuall value so if i wished to protect what is mine with landmines or stafford or little lap dog that would be my choice as it was this womans how can you judge what she does or doesnt own im not saying this dog attack is right far from it but i do find your comments offensive.....pete

 

 

[Guest slugmonkey]

I have had 2 and they were good dogs but I didnt let small children around them and I did keep them fenced I had tools and equipment to protect and they did a good job of that but as far as having them as a family pet I think there are a LOT better choices

as far as fighting them just look at Micheal Vick just because they outlawed it dosent mean it isnt happening it is a cruel and bloody sport but some say that pigeon racing is too

what I am saying is that for every 1 responsible owner there are 10 that are not and if you are responsible enough to register and insure then you are probably the 1 of 10

[Guest slugmonkey]

I am not condemming the breed just the usual thug types that own them and dont properly care and train them and lets face it what good is gonna come from an 18 year old high school dropout with a pitbull       NONE

I dont think that you guys are the problem as obviously your animal husbandry skills are quality

BUT you guys are the exception not the rule

i agree with your view on fighting them but i dont agree with not letting them near kids when my 2 where young pups i had half the neighborhood kids in garden playing with them and feeding them dog treats .now when mine see kids the 1st thought is play or treates

[Guest slugmonkey]

I think they should treat it like they SHOULD treat drunk driving if your dog hurts someone they should lock YOU UP AND THROW AWAY THE KEY not just slap you on the wrist everytime the dog leaves the house to take a pi&* and I think they should rehab the dog its not his fault the owner made him bad

as far as the drunk driving comment they have made the average guy that likes to drink a few a common criminal and yet have done virtually nothing to stop the real problem drinkers from killing people

[blaz]

their is a lot of half wits got this type and bigger dogs trained to bite. the way they see it is they will get less in court for their dog biting than they would if they stabbed someone.we had a program on tv over hear called (my weapon is a dog) them that where interviewed most needed their head examined
