Two 8-month-old pit bulls that were loose in Nanaimo attacked several children, severely injuring at least one. Other people that came to aid the children were also injured.

The children were playing in a yard at the house of one of their friends. The dogs were from somewhere else in the neighborhood and had been cited for being at large previously.

One of the owners of the dogs came and got the dogs but did not stick around. The news interviewed the other owner, a Dangerhair that looked to be in her late 40s or early 50s. While she was devastated at what her dogs had done, she said to the reporter, "People are saying, look at this from the prospective of a parent, well, these dogs are my kids, too," and then she broke down crying.

It was later reported both dogs were euthanized, as there have been other incidents prior to this one, and due to the severity of the injuries the one particular child sustained.

To the dangerhair dog owner I would have to say, "If these dogs were your KIDS, you did a lousy job of raising them. Thank heavens you didn't spawn any of your own."

Golden retrievers will literally roll over for belly rubs from a home intruder.

Mine was really mean during the last year of his life. Poor thing.

 

[Jaded Optimist]

Pit bull is kind of a catch all term for "any dog with a square head." Part of the reason attacks seem so high is dogs being misidentified as pit bulls.

EDIT: Look it up @vhstape

Which is apparently the situation here. Newer stories are either calling them pitbull crosses or refraining from saying the breed.

Maaaan, this thread is just 'the pits'....

 

[vertexwindi]

Quite frankly I'm not very fond of dogs all together. I might be a bit biased because I was mauled by one once, but I still find it amusing that the same forums where people will happily call others "niggers" and "kikes" will raise hell over dogs.

Spoiler

OKLAHOMA CITY - Oklahoma City police have released the body camera footage from a pit bull attack Saturday night that left a woman critically injured and four dogs dead.

54-year-old Terri Cosby was walking in the 700 block of N.E. 29th when she was attacked by four pit bulls.

The body camera footage shows one of the officers running to the scene.

“Where’s she at?” he asks another officer.

“Right there! She’s over there! I got one. They went inside the house. I shot one, but there’s still one and they ran into a house,” responds the other officer.

The officer with the body cam goes to find the victim.

“All right. Where’s the person that’s bit?” he asks a witness.

“Right here, man. They’ve been chewing on her for like ****ing 40 minutes,” the witness tells the officer.

“Ma’am are you OK? Talk to me, talk to me,” the officer says to Cosby as she lies in the street.

At least one of the dogs comes running back out by the officers and they unleash their guns.

“Stay down,” the officer commands the dog who is still moving after several shots.

“Come on dog, don’t do this,” says another officer.

It takes 13 shots before the dog finally lies still.

“It was a lot of shots fired. I mean, it was like the 4th of July,” said Calvin Stevenson who lives down the street and was out there that night.

He describes a gruesome scene.

“It was like the dog had already ripped her flesh off and was holding on to the bone and just wouldn’t let go,” said Stevenson.

Cosby was rushed to the hospital in critical condition where her right arm had to be amputated above the elbow.

Doctors are working to save her left leg.

All four pit bulls are now dead.

The one not shot by police had to be put down for rabies testing.

Anyone else think these cops might have played Resident Evil?

Boyfriend owns two. Both sweethearts who get along great with kittens and small children and have literally never been in any trouble. This makes me sick.

And prior incidents? WTF?

The owner was cited twice before for the dogs being loose after escaping the backyard through a faulty fence.

 

[Haramburger]

Like a lot of others, I’ll grind my heels firmly in the ground defending pit bulls and pit mixes against breed discrimination

I think most of the reasonable anti-pibbles (like me) are:
• not interested in infringing on your right to the breed
• are interested in proactively criticizing any problems, real or imagined, that we observe
• expecting its swift execution on any human injury; people first dogs second
• expecting you to pay the medical bills & funerary costs, whatever it takes legally

you wanna take risks with the damage that breed can do, just pay the price when something goes wrong, and train/make a different breed choice accordingly. My kids aren't coming to your house to play, either.

And I don't think any of us bleeding-heart pit defenders have any issue of that. It's the people insisting we wipe out the breed altogether that get our panties in a twist.

 

[Black Waltz]

pitbulls are murderous psychos and should be put down along with their owners

 

[AnOminous]

I certainly agree that not all pit bulls are mindless murder machines. But most of the time any other breed goes berserk and attacks people you usually hear about an injury of some degree and rarely about a fatality. When a pit bull goes nuts, it is almost a given that someone will lose a limb if not mauled to death. There definitely is something that needs to be done, I am not necessarily talking about an outright ban, but at the very least some form of restriction for ownership or special (and very severe) punishment for incidents.

I do think there should be some kind of license, much like you need to register certain kinds of guns. However, most pit bull attacks are not just some otherwise well behaved animal suddenly flipping the fuck out out of nowhere. There's generally been a history of behavioral problems and a shitty owner who did nothing about them. And yes, if a pit bull has consistent behavioral issues that can't be addressed, they have to be put down.

It's less to do with the temperament of the breed, though, than it is that they have jaws like trash compactors and if they decide to, they can and will seriously fuck your shit up or even kill you. The issue is their physical ability to do this. A corgi isn't going to do this to you because it can't.

Quite frankly I'm not very fond of dogs all together. I might be a bit biased because I was mauled by one once, but I still find it amusing that the same forums where people will happily call others "niggers" and "kikes" will raise hell over dogs.

It's not really all that unusual. 4chan will post pictures of people being beheaded, eating shit, raping and murdering people, gore where bodies are exploded into multiple pieces, serial killers corpse collections, and just any kind of depraved shit and the response is "lol" but if someone hurts a cat they completely flip their shit and hunt them down and ruin their lives.

A lot of the threads that got shut down here were someone did something to a dog or a cat and people sperg the fuck out.

As much as I love dogs, I will get my shotgun if I see one roaming on my property. I am not taking any chances and the shitty negligent owner can come to pick up the remains without me giving a fuck.

Edit: I am talking about Pitbulls, of coursethey are the favorite dog of irresponsible people.

That's a bit much. Sometimes my beagle escapes, granted she's a beagle, but accidents happen.

I thought it was a bit overkill too. Until I saw this article here (also Oklahoma, also recent...) https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/us-news/mum-two-mauled-death-pack-12543080

Spoiler: article text

A tragic mum-of-two was mauled to death by a pack of tiny mixed-breed dachshunds, say police.

The dogs which launched a savage attack on victim Tracy Garcia, 52, leaving her with fatal injuries, belonged to a neighbour.

One of the animals was shot by police after running at a deputy who was responding to the deadly attack, local media reported.

The other six dogs that attacked Ms Garcia near her home were taken to a veterinary hospital, where they were put down at the owner's request.

Tracy Garcia, 52, is survived by a daughter and a son
Each dog involved in last Thursday's attack in Ardmore, in the US state of Oklahoma, has legs shorter than an adult human’s hand, a euthanasia technician said.
Westwood Veterinary Hospital co-director Tena Layton told The Daily Ardmoreite six of the dogs were about one year old.

The other was around three years old, and is understood to be the mother of the others.

The dogs, infested with fleas and ticks, were then taken to the Ardmore Animal Shelter, which said the younger dogs are believed to be a "standard dachshund and terrier mix".

Its euthanasia technician, Amanda Dinwiddie, told KXII the older one is possibly a border collie mix.

Dinwiddie said: "A predominant breed in these dogs is definitely standard dachshund.
Thursday's attack happened near Ms Garcia's home in Ardmore, Oklahoma
"They have really noticeable characteristics like their knobby legs, knees, very short legged dogs and their coats."

She said all of the dogs were less than 40lbs each, and none had legs longer than an adult’s hand.

All were infested with parasites and appear to be living in the nearby woodland.

No arrests have yet been made.
Carter County Sheriff Chris Bryant offered condolences to the victim's family
Carter County Sheriff Chris Bryant told KTEN: "This is a bad situation, a very unfortunate situation.
"Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of the victims. This is just a bad deal all the way around."

KTEN reported that the district attorney's office will review autopsy reports and other relevant information to determine if the dogs' owner will face charges.

An online obituary stated Ms Garcia moved to Ardmore to be closer to her family after her husband died in 2006.

The mum, who had a daughter and a son, had recently worked in housekeeping at a Hilton hotel, the obituary added.

I need to stop reading sad/mad/bad doggo stories.

Not gonna lie, when I read the first sentence I thought it was from an Onion article. Like I completely glossed over the link.

I'm gonna go cuddle my dogs. They're good dogs.

Is why I quoted article, not a fan of the Mirror (or giving 'em clicks) and I'm sure the vid could be sourced elsewhere if they have it.

If you would shoot a Labrador walking around on your property, you're a lolcow.

Reminds me of this old Far Side.

If you would shoot a Labrador walking around on your property, you're a lolcow.

It really depends on what the dog is actually doing. Where I live, it's pretty common for people to let their dogs roam and they're generally well behaved. One dog that often visited was basically best friends with my own, so why would I have any objection to that?

However, there's another neighbor who in addition to personally being an asshole, has a shitty ill tempered yellow mongrel that roams around and is a fucking nuisance. Once this dog was in my yard and when I yelled at him to GTFO, instead of leaving he snarled at me. So I kicked him in the fucking face, hard.

Then he ran away yelping and has run away any time he sees me since then. Fuck that dog.

Where i live people dont give a shit about their dogs and think having an agressive dog and walking them withough leash is a good idea
Gonna :powerlevel: a little but a few years ago, while i was walking my then puppies blue heelers and my labrador after going for a pizza, a dumbass with his shitty german sheperd was walking him withough a leash, needles to say as soon as he saw us he went in for the charge, my labrador had to put himself between me, the puppies and the dog, had to beat the dog with the pizza box so he would fuck off, but seeing as how things were getting serious and i dint want my labrador to get killed i pulled my switchblade and stabbed the litte shit.
The owner was furius and threated to sue but nothing came out of it, and it wasnt the first time his german sheperd and a labrador he owned attacked people, after some months i learned someone had poisoned his dogs thankfully

When shit like that happens, you have to blame the owners. The dog is a dog. It's going to do what dogs do.

I feel sorry for dogs with asshole owners.

My sister's puppy was jumped by a German Shepherd recently. Even though she was upset and worried and the puppy was clearly crying, the owners just said that they were playing. Thankfully he wasn't hurt at all. But fuck people who can't get their dogs to behave.
