So this pensioner was taunting the dog by going out into his front yard with his toy Pomeranians?![]()
Pretty much, he should have stayed indoors.

it is NOT the pitbull that is the problem at all. i have a pitbull and the more i tell these morons walking past my gate to stop antagonising my dog the more the ****ers do it.
imagine being on the one side of the fence and someone is taunting you on the other side day in and day out. what the hell is wrong with people.
just yesterday i had a screaming match with this friggin indian dude about his 2 little girls who he collects from the creche next door. every single day he allows them to come to my gate and they stand in front of my gate antagonising my dog. yesterday i had enough and went to him and told him to get his kids away from my gate. he has no right to let his kids stand at my gate like that at all. he had this "don't care" attitude with me telling me that he tells them not to do it. like hell he tells them not to when they do it every single day and my dog goes ape.
this is the type of thing that causes the dog to go nuts when it eventually attacks someone. it may not be the person that has been taunting it all along but the person who is innocent will get it.

The numbers dont lie. Pit bulls and dogs bred with pit bulls have the most fatalities in the US.

throw water on them with a bucket.or get a pressure washer,crank that badboy up so that it can strip paint, and let them have it.![]()
no that's not what i'm saying gary. it's possible that this dog had already been aggravated by other people and the pensioner was the one who was on the receiving end when the dog got his chance to get back at someone. what his little toy poms have to do with it, i have no clue. maybe they were meat bites/snacks![]()
What drove the dog to change from what the dead man's wife had said it knew her husband very well? And how come it could suddenly get under the wall/fence and hadn't previously tried taking out the neighbour's chihuahuas? Did the animal suddenly dig a big enough access hole right in front of everyone, all by itself?

I saw a BMW broken down today... That must mean that they are ALL crap and break down. EVERY SINGLE LAST ONE OF THEM! The guys car was modified too, but instead of assuming he drives it like a twat and that is a probable cause for why it broke down, i will rather be simple minded and just state that they are all crap and not one of them has worked or ever will.It's a pitbull. [Full stop.]
Amazing how the pitbull lobby try to defend the indefensible, shocking actually when a death has ocurred due to one.
Ag shame man, no.
I would've taken a brick and klapped it on its head.
+1An average of 3 deaths per year from dog attacks... Admittedly all caused by Pit Bull type breeds. But as per my previous post, thats because they're the dog of choice now for people who shouldn't really even have dogs.
Any dog can be trained to be aggressive, and if people like you had your way and eliminated all Pits, then the Johnny Badboys would just choose another breed and in a few years time your ilk would be wanting to ban dobermans. And the cycle will continue until there's no more dogs except those little horrible rat-like things!
If you do some research into the breed, you'll see that Pit Bulls have actually had a really good rep for decades until very recently. Yes there are badly bred dogs out there, and yes there are people who breed dogs for fighting. But please remember that there are literally millions of well behaved, pet Pit Bulls out there who are not making the news and killing people!
The percentage of bad humans who kill people is multiple times larger than the percentage of bad Pits who kill people, but we don't see anyone wanting to ban the human race![]()
Man, I have tried that with an Alsation before (my own) when he was attacking another dog and I thought he was about to kill it. It didn't do squat. I had to eventually pull myself between the two dogs and got him to let go (getting a few bites in the process), something you don't do with a PB if you value your life. Dogs are strong. Extremely strong. When they go into a frenzy, it takes a hell of a lot of power to hold them back.
Anyway, sad story. Must have been a traumatizing event to witness. I don't know how I would have reacted. PB's are very scarey dogs when they are in a frenzy.
You see... No one is going to comment and say "Oh Alsations... What beasts and horrible dogs!" because it's fine for an alsation to attack people every now and then... But god help the Pitbull who does anything!
if you are going to keep them as pets, make damned sure you can control them.
