Thanks, I get so frustrated with the stupid people in our country.  I've been accused of being a racist and that's just another label people use when they are confronted with facts and have no argument.  There are people of all nationalities that celebrate the "Thug" culture and they are all equally guilty of glamourizing and encouraging vicious dog ownership.  That is a fact! 

I hear you there.  Unfortunately, it is the stupid people that are the majority nowdays, no matter what the topic for debate is about.  Anyone having one iota of sense falls into a very small minority.

Hey I was just wondering.  I know that if you abuse an animal you can lose your right to keep them.  Does that work for people with a history of aggressive animals?

That's a good question.  I'm not sure how the system works, but it certainly makes sense.

Only in my dreams! Then we could start to become a country with a chance of growth ..... instead of a socialist welfare state where the needs of the ignorant and lazy over ride everything else.

That poor woman.  I agree though, any dogs running in a group can do dangerous things.  They become a pack then and old instincts come out. 

I think it's crazy that this other dog has allowed to run free like that terrorizing people in a neighborhood.  Where I live, if a dog is on your property harassing your livestock or family, you are allowed to shoot it.  There is a leash law in our county and it's enforced if need be.  All one has to do is call and the appropriate action will be done.  I'm not one for shooting dogs just because, but sometimes I'd like to shoot the ignorant owners.  I have a neighbor right now that is one of those.  She lets her dogs (5 of them) loose all the time and one likes to come in our yard and tease my lab.  My dog is on the underground fence and he'll stay very well.  That dog runs in and out grabbing at my dog.  Makes me mad.  I told them though, that it's one thing for the dog to come and mess with my lab who's pretty friendly, but if it happens to get in my yard while my Dane is out, who is not friendly, then I am not responsible for what happens to their dog.  I haven't seen it over here in about 2 weeks.  We shall see though....
Our pets love us no matter what....can't say the same for humans....

Yeah - you'd think in this day and age of technological wonders, there'd be something we could do to stop this whole issue of the knuckle dragging halfwits propagating little minime's of themselves all over the place, wouldn't you. We have them in England and they're called Chavs, short for Council House and Violent (council houses are the equivalent of projects in the USA). Though the Scottish term Ned is my favourite. Stands for Non Educated Delinquent. ;D

Check out the Chav's here and prepare to be educated, or laugh your head off - not so much 50 cent as 5 pence piece. http://www.chavscum.co.uk/culture.php

Here we go again with breed discrimination ...I am sure we will now ban breeds in Texas.
You and I know it is NOT the breed but the owner that should be banned!

You treat a dog like an animal and they will act like one.... ;)

Texas woman mauled to death by six dogs

11:58 PM CST on Sunday, November 27, 2005
Associated Press
 


THORNDALE, Texas - A pack of six dogs mauled a 76-year-old woman to death as she worked in her yard, authorities said.

Lillian Loraine Stiles was riding on a lawn mower in her front yard Saturday when she was confronted by the dogs, described as pit bull-rottweiler mixed breeds, said Milam County Sheriff Charlie West.

Investigators think Stiles was attacked when she got off the mower and headed into her house.Stiles had severe bites over her entire body, and a man who tried to help her was bitten on one leg, authorities said.

The dogs were found at the home of Stiles' neighbor, Jose Hernandez.

The sheriff's department will send the findings of its investigation to the Milam County District Attorney's Office, which will decide if any criminal charges will be filed against Hernandez.

Thorndale is located about 70 miles west of College Station.


With as lacking of a description many people can give of dogs, the attackers were probably kelpies.  :-\
