re: 600 Pounds of Pitbulls/Cane Corso attack Elkmont, AL Jogger

Dogs and owner should be euthanized

Disgusting animals.

I have 4 dogs and they couldn't be bigger sweeter goofballs. These aren't domestic animals.

holding these owners responsible to the fullest extent of criminal law. If your dog kills someone, you are at least guilty of manslaughter unless they broke in or wandered onto your property.

Start here for sure. Also, I think a lot of homeowners policies exclude pit bulls, and our apartment building doesn't allow them and a few other breeds (even though some girl who weighs maybe 110 lbs has one...not sure how that snuck through). But that's a good start.

Other ways to eradicate them:
- Make it mandatory to spay/neuter
- Criminalize the breeding of them

Our building manager lives just down the hall from us and her man has a doberman that he always has here. Technically doesn't live here so skates by on that technicality, but she won't come anywhere near us when she has the dog and we've got ours because she knows she can't control it.

This story continues to make less and less sense. One solid smack to the head with a crowbar would crush their skulls or destroy their jaw, or a hard shot to the back would paralyze them. What the hell were they doing with it?

Exactly and I'm pretty sure with a pointed metal shovel, I could through and through one of those bastards.

Aren't you supposed to grab their back legs so they can't keep attacking? Pitts aren't that big so you could rag doll that thing until it quits moving. The cane corso should've gotten the bullet immediately

When will “Intelligent” People in Power out law these Monsters???

Put their arse in Jail!!!

Bingo

In addition to the dogs being put down so should the owners.

I have a story I am familiar with. My farm is in very rural Alabama. There are about 140 people who live within 6 miles. A neighbor has a guy who works for him who was an alcoholic for years but is now sober, but has had about 20 DUI's so he will never get a drivers license again. He walks about 2 miles from his trailer to the neighbors barn. He was walking one morning and 2 pit bulls attacked him, they were from a new guy who has just moved into the area. They almost killed him, he was in the hospitol for about 6 weeks. Had severe muscle damage on legs, arms and hands. Lost 2 fingers on one hand.

After he got well enough he was going to walk back to work again. When he got to where the dogs lived they both ran out to him again. Let me tell you that a pissed off man with a hatchet can do a lot of damage to a couple of dogs. He hit them both in the head killing them. Then he chopped off the legs and head. Cut the penis and nuts off and put them in that guys mailbox.

I heard that the blood in the road was about 20 feet in diameter. Looked like something out of a horror movie.

I fully, 100% support his actions.

Sounds like an owner that needs to be in prison.

This kinda of story just reinforces my preference for packing a pistol on my dog walks. I would rather not carry but two prior attacks on my dog and a seemingly endless supply of dumped dogs in my area don't really leave me much choice. It is absolutely a last resort and something that I would not use casually. I do also carry pepper spray and read dogs well enough to avoid issues by taking a detour or avoiding any interaction with sketchy dogs particularly of the pit variety. If an aggressive dog latches on to me or my dog and they will not disengage after a kick or a blast of pepper spray and their is no owner to intervene then I'm not going to end up being a meaty treat for some jack asses dog.
We have had a few dogs and people attacked in my neighborhood within the last year. I know this sounds like a trashy area but it is a nice neighborhood with average sized lots.
