| pit bull dog ban
Posted: 9/14/2004 3:43:35 PM | in vancouver bc....a lady was attacked last weekend.She was walking along the park when a pit bull ran over and bit her bottom. She screamed and tried to kick it off...it then went for her arm.She suffered cu ts and bruises. The owner tried to grab his collar but the dog kept on attacking.
A crowd was forming and then the owner fled. The attack was unprovoked.....and random...there was no reason for it.
The police are looking for the owner..and now our city is trying to propose a total ban on owning..breeding and heavy fines for pit bull owners whose dogs bite.
I have encountered 3 incidents with pitt bulls over 2 yrs. My in laws neighbors had 2 of them. They are let out into the backyard but managed to dig a hole under the fence. I was putting my daughter and my baby son in the car...when i hear growling behind me. I turn and come face to face with 2 pit bulls.I slow,y close the door to lock in my kids. Then i jump and yell at them and try to scare them away....while yelling for my in laws. They come running outside...and the dogs run and go back under the fence. I was terrified.
I goes flying over to the house and literaly bang thier door down. I scream a blue streak at them...and we filed a complaint against them.
then they leave...and yet again new neighbors with a PIT BULL fuk....and this time it went flying out the door and accross the street to attack a dog. The owner got it on time.
then just 3 weeks ago..i was at my parents house..and 2 teens were walking thier dog down the street...( pit bull) it bolted and got out of the leash and cmae rushing into the yard to go after my parents litle dog.Luckily the dog was inside the gate...but the pit bull then ran into the basement...into my cousins suite...and tried ot get at thier cat...it scared the livign shit out of my cousin.Her door was open becasue it was hot but she never expected a goddam poit bull to come barging into her house.
I yelled at the kids who were besided them selves with worry and regret...i knew they were very upset it happened. They slapped the dog...put the leash back on and wrapped it around his arm.I have never seen them before but i was so scared because my kids were on the lawn.My parents were at a dinner party and missed it but my dad would have taken a butcher knife to that dog im sure...
im completly for this ban...and all breeds of mean dogs and figthing dogs. Its in thier nature to be aggressive...yah you can train them all you want..but they can snap and bite at a loving owner or a kid givign it a hug...i have seen it in the news...
SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK...THE PAPER TODAY IS FLOODED WITH LETTERS FROM DOG LOVERS AND HATERS.. | |

But least, if someone has a pitbull, it must be registered, and specifications drawn up for the accomodation of such pets and it's public safeguards, as well as it's enforcement.
Obviously none of this is going to prevent a pitbull attack when the owner is taking it for a walk. Mind you, I find it strange that the owner failed to control his dog on a leash. Per say, I wonder if it isn't an odd-man-out incident, since most attacks are on children from dogs that manage to escape their yards. Rothweilers, German Sheppards & Dobies have also been known to inflict some nasty hurt on people.
I am not sure what to say, or what to recommend. | |

Posted: 9/14/2004 4:01:39 PM | As much as I love dogs, I agree that aggressive dogs should be banned like pitbulls should be banned. They can do so much damage to a person, even kill them and even pitbulls who have never been abused and brought up properly have been known to turn, and the majority of people that own Pitbulls don't treat them, most of the time it seems they just throw them in the backyard and then act surprised when they end up attacking someone. I had a friend when I was a teen who was attacked by her sister's boyfriend's pitbull. She has cerebal palsy and couldn't defend herself as well as a person of regular physically ability could and she ended up having her arms ripped to shreads. She was okay but she's scarred for life.
My family once owned a dog, beautiful Australian Shepard but she was very aggressive and after he bit my cousin (not enough to break the skin though), and got into numerous fights with my other dog. We ended up having her put to sleep because we were afraid that one day she'd really hurt someone and we thought it was best. | |

Posted: 9/14/2004 4:25:45 PM | | i think they should ban stupid people but they won't do that either! stupid people teach their dogs to be mean. ban strupid people and no more dog probs. they are just doing what they are bred to do. can't blame dog for dumb owner | |

Posted: 9/14/2004 5:04:30 PM | | Pit Bulls are dangerous, and unpredictable period. They should not be allowed anywhere but in an isolated area, where the only person they can turn on is their owner. I too just about became pit bull fodder, and in an answer to are there angels thread: Yes there are, 20 people were standing there watching this attack about to occur and not one person tried to help me. I had frozen in complete terror and could only scream. If a complete stranger in a passing vehicle had not stepped in, that dog would have eaten me alive. Needless to say that dog no longer lives on that street! | |

Perhaps a required course how to handle your Pitbull, and always muzzled when taken out of grounds.

Posted: 9/14/2004 7:18:10 PM | | I love Dogs. I believe, and this is just me, but it is in the manor that a dog is raised and treated that determines the dog's demeanor. I have been around Pitbulls that were like Big Fluffy Sheepdogs in nature. I mean, of course you are not going to see a Pug ban or a Poddle ban.....but I have been bitten by a Pug and never a Pitbull. Incidentally, I have two Pugs.....no one BAN THEM!!!! AND FOR GODSAKE MAKE CHINA TAKE THEM OFF THE MENU!!!! | |

Posted: 9/14/2004 7:22:57 PM | | they are only dangerous cause there owners treat them bad or train them to be like that..ive known many people to raise pitbulls as friendly and playful dogs..i think the law should be if someone wants a pitbull they should have to take training classes for the dog and owner..banning a certain breed of dog..just doesnt seem right at all.. | |

Posted: 9/14/2004 7:34:25 PM | | You will never regret getting a pug like the little puppy in the picture with me...hard to make out, but he is the most amazing creature on the face of the planet...with his buddy juliet...also a Pug. They will watch over you and love you unconditionally. | |

Posted: 9/14/2004 8:02:43 PM | kinda sad when people care more for dogs then other humans. Get them the hell off, i was also attacked by a dam dog when i was child who broke the darn leash. Was from a Women with children so no it was not raised violent.

| Re: pit bull dog ban
Posted: 9/14/2004 8:07:41 PM | | so you think that a women and child arent capable of treating an animal badly? also ever consider a dog becoming rabid..this doesnt happen to dogs..it happens to all animals..a kid alone can drive a dog mad..always pulling its tale or hitting it..ive seen it before..i also have been attacked by a dog who was rabid..it wasnt the dogs fault..you wanna ban dogs..why not ban anything else like cows cause they get mad cow disease, or mice the bring disease.. | |

Posted: 9/15/2004 10:12:52 AM | | Just enforce leash and muzzle laws in populated areas. Simple solution. Owners would face fines and lawsuits otherwise. Very easy to do. OR...as an alternative....and this one DOES work....have a carry and conceal law for handguns. Lower crime rates (statistically already proven to work), and IF a dog attacks...shoot the SOB on the spot. | |

Posted: 9/15/2004 3:57:50 PM | | To be honest i have known people with pit bulls and there great dogs if raised right. all the ones i knew were very afftionate and good minding dogs. in fact i have been bitten more times by german sheppards and the pee wee sized dogs then anyother dogs. I have experiance!! i have been bitten many times. at least 8 times and none were pit bulls. while there not my type of dog ( i love the boxer) i truly belive it is how they are raised. | |
