Pit Bulls again
Recently a pit bull that was ‘loved by everyone’ attacked two women, one of whom is the dog owner’s 11 year old sister who presumably doesn’t love the dog anymore. The young girl is recovering from re constructive surgery to her leg.
People are actually having a debate as to whether the tradie who dropped the dog with a nail gun did the right thing. Some are saying “Dogs don’t kill people,” “people who breed killer dogs kill people”. Well, working on the basis that we can’t arbitrarily or summarily execute dog owners, the only way to stop the problem is to shoot the dog.
More;
“The tradesman should be investigated and charged with cruelty to animals. No animal deserves to die.”and, more wierdly;
“Everyone is always quick to put the poor dog down, even when all it did was act on instinct and do what it thought was right.”The fact that crocodiles eat people ‘on instinct‘ while ‘doing what they think is right‘ is no reason not to shoot the beast as it tries to eat a member of your family. I bet these people even get to vote and voted for the shiny thing in the next paddock – Rudd Flashback: A family gathering at a small farm in South West Australia. Uncle Sam’s cattle dog bites me, a five year old, on the leg in the corridor. Uncle Sam, with my father breathing down his neck, kills the dog on the spot. Yep, in the corridor of the farm house. A .22 cal round in the head with some care taken as to ensure the bullet doesn’t ricochet ended that dogs attempt to climb up the evolutionary chain. That’s what you do with dogs that attack people. Anything else is ignoring the relevant species’s master/servant relationship. The distraught owner says she wants another pit bull and this link has a pic of her crying over the dog’s body. Her sister will be pleased.
