Dak’s dog could receive death penalty

[SoupcanSam]

This whole story makes me sad....

If you're going to own a pet, please give that pet plenty of well deserved love and attention.

Crazy thing is Dak does not come across as a reckless person having been raised correctly by his mom, and well mannered.

He slipped up big time on this. And now the lady lost part of her finger.

You are nuts. After all of this you can only blame the woman. That is sad. Just sad.

The next time it is going to be a young person walking their pet, but you will always side with the dog and its owner. NUTS.

Dogs are not humans. No matter what we think they are not. They are a vessel for us to share our humanity, and everyone and everything deserves to be cared for, but lethality in genetics is lethality no matter what.

Common sense needs to prevail here. No one wants the dog to be put down, but who is to blame for the decision by humans and society? The woman???

So you think that Dak is in the clear a guiltless in this whole mess. Two prior warnings and his dogs loose, tearing at a fence and attacking another dog and the best you could do is the woman is to blame?

Yeah common sense at its finest.

Not totally blaming her, not totally blaming Dak. I think both parties share the blame.

I, for one, would not try to separate two dogs fighting; especially if one is a pit bull.

Dak should have secured his animals as well.

In the end, it's an unfortunate situation all around. An innocent person was injured and Dak is on the verge of losing a pet due to his own negligence. I am just glad she wasn't hurt worse. I am also glad a child wasn't attacked. I am not nuts.

So much wrong in your post , that I only have time to correct you on these .....



Stop watching the news .... Pits and Bully bread, in General, get mislabeled all the time. If the news can pass it off as a Pit they will , sometimes they dont even care. If you knew about dogs are breeds of them , you can clearly see the BS in most stories. LockJaw? .....


Oh boy , I bet you are popular with Salesman and the Infomercials direct sales team . Because if your buying into the LockJaw, I got some great deals for you. Pssst, its a lie, Its called the dogs determination , which is a common trait in Bully breads .... hence why they are not a good breed of dog for newbies. BTW Ive seen a French Bulldog almost kill itself out of determination and stubbornness

Dude 4 yr old that sat in front of me at church got killed by one. I also think my post was edited. I had much more posted.

I don't understand the obsession with Pit Bulls.

 

[Redball Express]

As a pitbull owner, this is always my big fear. I take great pains so this kind of situation never arises, but nobody is perfect.

I lost my Golden Retriever to a pitbull back in November.

Had her 10 years.

She and the pitbull were playing at a dog park with me there when the pitbull turned on her and attacked her.

He was trying to get the ball and bit her.

I had to take her to the vet and he cleaned the wound and gave her antibiotics.

She died 5 days later from infection and complications.

I was heartbroken.

So pitbulls are funny dogs and to be respected.

Sorry this has happened.

Very sorry for the injured party.

Sorry for the dog if he gets destroyed.

More humane to just re-home him with somebody familiar with the breed and ordered he be muzzled.

Not put down.

1st and foremost: I am so sorry that happened. I feel your pain. Terrible thing to happen.

And this is why I take great pains so that situation would never happen, i.e.: I don't let my dog play with other dogs.
I just don't. He want exercise, we go on a jog.
I don't want to put my dog in a position where something like that could happen.

Here's one (for your side) that shows pit bulls and mixed ones with pit in them are responsible for the vast majority of dog bite deaths. All dogs can bite, but pits have a lock jaw ability and are extremely powerful. They also tend to go for the throat of children and women due to their height. Included in this list in 2013 is a 4 year old that sat in front of me in church the Sunday before his death.

That's tragic and I hate to hear about stuff like that. And how many times have we heard of not one, but two (or more) pitbulls that turn on their owner at the same time. Just my opinion, but any parent that has young children and a pitbull as a pet is completely irresponsible. It's like playing Russian Roulette with your children.

 

[DoctorChicken]

It doesn’t change the fact they are more dangerous than all of the dogs you mentioned due to the reasons you also mentioned.

On an individual basis, they’re less likely to carry aggressive traits than the dogs I mentioned. But there are a lot of pit bulls and they frequently suffer from mental problems.

So essentially, you’re confirming what I said?

Was it a dog adopted from a shelter?

 

[dreameaglegreen]

The newscast on the youtube video claimed both Dak's dogs broke through the neighbors fence and jumped her dog.

Wentz's dogs would never....

I am over it.

I did not hold it against the pitbull.

3 minutes before he had brought me the ball and I tweaked his ears and played with him.

He was fine.

I think he got jealous of Punkin and he did what he diid.

So I felt partially at fault.

The owner was this skinny little gal who had no control of him.

I jumped up and grabbed him by his collar and lifted him off Punkin.

She was 110 lbs..not a little thing.

I picked up the pitbull by the collar and he is struggling to get away and I reached down and forced his butt to sit and I screamed at him to stop.

The girl runs up to me and says "That's my dog"

I said.."you are lucky he did not bite me or I would have gone to my car and gotten my 9tmm and shot his ***."

With that she took him and left.

I was really pissed.

Then crap went down hill from there.

So was shocked she met that fate. But I have begun to think about another Golden to replace het.

We will see.

That gal sounds like a ******* who shouldn't own a dog like that.

I agree.

He obeyed for me.

But the damage was done and it happened so quickly.

I know better now.

 

[lukin2006]

It's not the dog's fault, it's the irresponsible owner that should be fined 100 k. Is this the clown we want to be the face of the franchise...and we are going to pay this stooge 30 million...

You're trying too hard to be edgy. It's not working.

As sad as that is .... that does not change the facts. You could use that point of view with anything to serve someone's agenda. If you want to use 4 year olds as poster boys .... how about the 4-year old that got mauled by a Labrador, that make them all the same ? Or how about the infant chewed up by a Pomeranian who also died. Other infant deaths by Labs and a Beagle as well . Im going to stop now as I hope I got point across.

When people say there is no bad dog just bad owners, its the truth. People get dogs that they should not, say be family, experience, housing ect. Some people by dogs because of the stigma involved. Bad owners, about 80% of attacks are from unrestrained dogs , most of those numbers are when the dogs on the owner's property. less then 20% of attacks are on owners property being restrained. Less then 1% of attacks were restrained dogs off property .

Children and dogs are most attacked by dogs. There is plenty of blame to go around when it happens. Owners at times , parents and but children as well .... you never leave a young child around a dog alone .... no matter if you know it , it yours or its a stanger. The media does not actually do its job when it comes to reporting... They on average say its Pit over 50 % of the time .... when in turn true reliable ID of the breed is only around 20%

I won't pretend to know what Dak did or didn't do to contribute to what his dog did. What I do know is that the lady who lost a part of her finger made the irrational mistake of trying to break up two dogs that were engaged in a heated fight. It's entirely possible that her emotions interfered with what she otherwise might not have done to prevent her injury. If possible, turning a water hose on dogs when they fight is one of the best ways to do so.

Here's hoping the people involved manage to find a way to learn how to avoid making the same mistake again. Personally, I wouldn't consider owning a pit bull upon hearing about their tendency for aggressiveness so frequently. I would think those who do, would exercise extra caution to ensure the safety of people and other dogs who might come into contact with them, though. The same, of course, would apply to any other breed of dog that, by their very nature, are bound to be territorial creatures.
