City To Require Owners Of 'Dangerous Dogs' To Carry $1,000,000 Insurance Policy...

That would help to put a child's face back on.

Sadly the criminal owners (who are often just renters and have little assets) will just say: "That's not my dog."

UPDATE: Man fined for saving boy's life with unregistered gun refuses legal aid...

Asks donors to help mauled boy...

Three pit bulls attacked Jayeon as he and a friend rode bicycles in their Brightwood neighborhood on a Sunday afternoon in January. Witnessing the attack on his neighbor, Mr. Srigley went inside his home to retrieve his Ruger 9 mm pistol. He came out and began firing at the dogs as they mauled Jayeon in the alleyway behind his Northwest D.C. home. Mr. Srigley’s gunfire struck and killed one of the dogs and attracted the attention of a nearby Metropolitan Police Department officer, who responded to the scene and shot the other two dogs.

Prosecutors struck a deal this month, agreeing not to go forward with criminal charges as long as Mr. Srigley, who has no prior criminal record, paid the $1,000 fine and avoids getting into any trouble for the next two months.

Though Jayeon’s wounds from the attack have healed, leaving deep scars on his elbow, torso and leg, his family said he hasn’t been the same since then.
“He’s coming around, but he’s still not himself.”
The family is investigating whether the dogs’ owner had any form of insurance that would help pay for counseling.

They say guns don't kill people, people kill people.

So pit bulls don't kill people, pit bull owners are the ones responsible.

If both of those statements make sense to you, then keep living in your parallel universe.

Inanimate objects are not equal to animate objects in most all universes. duh.

Inanimate objects are not equal to animate objects in most all universes. duh.

You miss the point.

Its not about inanimate and animate objects, its about human beings in control of both.

Many humans are irresponsible or incompetent or erratic or psychotic.

If you think we can predict human behaviour then you should be made president of the world.

What I know is that sometimes there are people with "histories" and sometimes it is a case of "even a worm will turn", where there is no history.

So whether the responsible people are 50%, 60, 70, 80, 90 or whatever, in the end, the best solution is to remove the danger element ALWAYS.

Do you think all of us should have access to any poison, any nuclear weapon, any wild animal etc?

You can't have a pet tiger or even a bobcat but you can have a 140 pound Bullmastiff!!!

So CUTE!

5-Year-Old Boy Who Survived OK Tornado Dies In Dog Attack...
JESSIEVILLE, Ark. (CBS Houston) — A 5-year-old boy who survived last month’s deadly tornado in Moore, Okla., was killed in a dog attack at a family friend’s home in Jessieville, Ark.
KTHV-TV reports that a Bull Mastiff dog attacked the boy Saturday afternoon after he began throwing a temper tantrum.
KTHV reports that the dog has been put down.


Woman Mauled to Death by Her Pet Bullmastiff

Dawn Brown -- a 44-year-old firefighter and owner of two other dogs -- brought home a Bullmastiff to add to her family. Two days ago, in a disturbing scene straight out of a horror movie, the dog killed her.

According to previous owners, the dog had no history of being aggressive. When Brown's husband came home Monday afternoon, he found his wife dead at the bottom of the stairs. But she hadn't fallen. The couple's new dog, who weighed about 140 pounds, had attacked her neck and killed her.

As Siegfried said: "It's not the tiger's fault."
Roy was unavailable for comment.

HORROR: Pit Bull Bites Off Owner's Arms...

WILTON, Conn -- In a scene out of a horror movie, a pit bull -- apparently without provocation -- attacked its owner, tearing out one of her arms and ripping off her other hand.
Murray was found underneath a vehicle in her driveway, trying to fend off the animal.
In additional to the loss of a limb and another hand, Murray had bite wounds all over her body.
The victim, Anne Murray, 56, was recovering at Norwalk Hospital, her son Matthew Murray said Tuesday.

According to the Clifton study, pit bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and their mixes are responsible for 74% of attacks that were included in the study, 68% of the attacks upon children, 82% of the attacks upon adults, 65% of the deaths, and 68% of the maimings. In more than two-thirds of the cases included in the study, the life-threatening or fatal attack was apparently the first known dangerous behavior by the animal in question. Clifton states:

If almost any other dog has a bad moment, someone may get bitten, but will not be maimed for life or killed, and the actuarial risk is accordingly reasonable. If a pit bull terrier or a Rottweiler has a bad moment, often someone is maimed or killed--and that has now created off-the-chart actuarial risk, for which the dogs as well as their victims are paying the price.

Clifton's opinions are as interesting as his statistics. For example, he says, "Pit bulls and Rottweilers are accordingly dogs who not only must be handled with special precautions, but also must be regulated with special requirements appropriate to the risk they may pose to the public and other animals, if they are to be kept at all."

I don't get it.
Pit Bulldogs are just lovable little dogs.
Why would they be synonymous with DRUG DEALERS?
Couldn't drug dealers get a vicious Golden Retriever?

Alligators the new pit bulls for drug dealers...

Drug dealers, long associated with aggressive dogs like pit bulls, are of late opting for a more cold-blooded accomplice to protect their business interests: the alligator.
“I think a lot of this comes back to the desire to own something exotic as well as the power of controlling a fierce animal. By keeping it in your control, you are saying something about yourself as an individual.”

Pit Bull Dogs "AGGRESSIVE", "FIERCE"? The writer is obviously a dog bigot... or maybe just educated and honest.
