yes. the tresspasser's actions got him into trouble. His jumping the fence preceeded the attack which occurred on private property. G.T's pool analogy is actually quite appropriate. If some asshole jumps my fence, falls into the pool and drowns, should his family be able to sue me because he's an idiot even though I was adhering to to the local zoning laws? In a suit-seeking society (let's blame someone else!) you have to draw the line somewhere... |

Dude, you can't be that dense. A dog is not a trap. A dog is a pet. A pet is property. What you're saying is that if someone jumps my fence, and is injured by property, I should go to jail. Not the idiot who jumped my fence. Tell me you're kidding. Where in Californistan are you? |

Don't forget this one as long as we're going to hold people responsible for those under their care..... |
|||
|
I agree on the pool issue. But a pool does not have a mind of it's own. |
||||
|
At least you are honest. |

|
No but if your animal mauls or kills someone. You should go to jail. |

compton is oneo f the most crime, drug, and gang infested communites in the US and criminals and vicious dogs are common,
but i am sure there are a few dozen good guys out there, just not these two, as for those who feal that their home is there castle and to be protected at all cost, im sorry but we dont live in that world anymore, and the is a pretty good chance, that you will either go to jail, or be sued into the next century this is the same thing if a trespasser was on you property, and you take an M4, and shoot him in the back of the head when he is running away with out a weapon, yeah the dumb shit was on your property but that is not a death penelty. so after seeing three attacking dogs, im sure that any idiot would run away and was not fast enough. |
|
Whatever. Most of the pit lovers defend the breed to the very end. No matter where, what and when the attacks happen. They always blame the owners and not the animal. Fine jail the owners. Again, I could care less if it's Pit, Lion or pet alligator. It belongs to you and mauls or kills someone you should go to jail. If that started happening there would be a lot less of these attacks. Civil suit? Half these attacks you see the owners are trash and have no money. Money will not bring back the children or people these animals maul and kill. Put the owners in jail. |

Man Tresspasses, (for what reason?)
Jumps Fence, (there to keep said man out) Is attacked by guard dogs(doing their "job") Guards call the dogs off(Sounds to me like well trained dogs?) Unfortuately the man is mauled(the result of his illegal actions) So sorry, but as someone pointed out earlier, "I don't jump over fences that are not mine." Everything else is speculation and opinion. JMHO & YMMV Hessian-1 |
|
look, i love dogs, i have a huski and a malamute, both breads look like wolves and are intimadatin but do not have a history of agression,
the dogs have been bread for thousands of years to work and live with man and not be agressive watch dogs, the dogs serve as a deteriant, and any body whom is bold enough to come into my home will be driven of by me and an M4 that i have 100 percent control over |
|
There have been cases of people crossing barriers at Zoo's, animal parks, etc. and getting close to dangerous animals and getting mauled. Am not aware of anyone getting killed, but it may have happened. People have been seriously mauled and could have been killed. Are these "owners" responsible/liable? Should they be? If not, what is the difference? |
|
|
Just an aside: my father in law was in the car salvage business and he swiitched to electric fences from guard dogs because of the liability issues. Apparently, if someone gets hurt by your guard dog after climbing a fence marked with signs you are a liable. But if someone gets hurt climbing a electric fence with marked with signs, then you are fine. I don;t see much of a difference, but apparently lawyers, judges, and juries think there is. |
|
For entering a junkyard; 1 Find out IF there are guard dogs,owner with shotgun.... 2 Find out where the guard dogs/owner is........ 3If there are guard dogs,bring steak/baloney.......... 4 If going for parts on a car,make sure there are no little friends there(wasps,snakes,killer rabbits). Sounds like he broke #1,#2. Must not have too much common sense(amazing for a thief in Compton). |
||
|
Why? It sounds to me like the dogs did their job. |
|

Jail doesn't bring people back either. Neither does crimalizing every mishap. If the animals get loose you have a civil case, if the trash don't have much then you have the same problem you would if their trashy teen killed a family member in wreck with the car he took without permission. I don't agree with you. Never going to. And it's not "whatever". If you plan to paint me into a group you want to call out, make sure I'm a member before you do so. Otherwise I will call you on it. I have yet to see the defenders of free-range killer pit bulls you tried to lump me into here today. It's a poor debate tactic. |
|||||

The dogs were behind a fence on their own property and anyone who climbs the fence is fair game. That fucker knew he didn't belong there and got his Darwn award.
|
|
"Doesn't have to make sense. It's the law." Just repeat that until you stop questioning it. |

You say Civil, I say Jail, actually I like both. But jail is better. |

OK, I hope I don't violate COC here, but I am fed up with your crap. You opinionated pig headed ignorant POS. Get a friggen life. You are constantly condemming a breed of dogs that you obviously know nothing about. This is nothing short of bigotry. What if the dogs had been Sheperds or chows or dobies? All of them, if trained for that purpose would have done the same thing. What about if the security guard had shot the guy? Kill the security guard? These animals were TRAINED to act this way. I have a pit bull (full blooded) and he is extremely nice. He plays with kids and other animals and harms no one or any thing. He even plays with the neighbors cat. I challenge you to try to kill him because you would not survive such an attempt. NOt because of what the dog would do, but what I would do to you. I have just had enough of your comments. They are no different than if you made comments about people based on race or religion. If you don't like pits then stay the fuck out of threads that mention them or STFU To the mods. I apologize to you and the rest of the members for my statements, but stand by them. His comments are offensive to those of us that own and love our pits just as racially charged comments affect those that are of a particular race. I have been seeing his crap for quite a while now and have had all I will take from it. So, again, to the mods and the others I apologize for going off. |

Guess things are different around here. I know of several cases were just that type of thing was done. Some examples from Topeka Kansas: Stephen Shively a guy one block over from me shot a cop (Tony Patterson) in the heart through the arm pit while said cop was battering his door with a ram, killed him on the spot. He was charged, found not guilty. Robber enters liquor store, robs clerk, walks out front door and heads to alley. Clerk goes out back door, shoots robber in the back of the head with a .357 magnum at a distance of 50 yards. No charges. Burglar is working a guys car over, owner approaches burglar from his home with a shotgun, pops burglar in the leg. Judge tells burglar tough, that is part of the risk of his chosen vocation. In KC, MO about 8 years ago, robber takes off with a bag of cash from an armored car officer at a convince store, officer shoots him in the back several times preventing his escape. No charges. |

Dogs did their job. Now that they have acquired a taste for humans, they should be destroyed.
Guard dogs should be as legitimate as police dogs. They are used by people for protection. That's why dogs are used, they are disposable. |
|
This shows your total FUCKING ignorance. If it were any other dog the breed would have never been mentioned. This is just the Communist jackass liberals from Kalifornia making everything ok for crimminals and blaming there crime on everyone else. Jeremy |

dogs did their job, not their fault the moron was somewhere he wasn't supposed to be...
|
|
Whatever. Ohhhhh, big bad PsyWuss. I'm so scared. Shaking in my shoes. |
||||
|
I agree. But police dogs have a handler with them constantly. Or they are pinned up. Not running loose. |
|
|
Police dogs don't guard or patrol large fenced areas do they? Completely different situations. Interesting point. That could be an issue. Once they have attacked and seriously injured a person they may well be a greater than average danger. |
||
|
No they are not. Just because they are animals does not make them disposable. (no, I am not a vegetarian) It serves no purpose to kill these animals for doing what is right They defended the property as they were trained to do. The comment posted about 100% control of our firearm is also fallacious. The dogs were under control. They were within the boundries of the property and backed off as soon as they were told to. Possible scenario. You awaken to noise in the middle of the night, your wife sleeping next to you. You grab your pistol and check the house. You see a person silhouetted by light coming into the window from the street. You aim and fire. Turns out that it was a 16 mentally handicapped kid that got lost and broke your door thinking he was at the right place. You should go to jail or even get the death penalty as you seem to want for these dogs that did EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DO |
|

OK mr Crimson Terd. You prove my point. That inbreeding down there is definitely showing up. Also seem to have a little valley girl in you. Don't you? "Whatever".... |

Here is this morons dealing with Pits.
I've been on three dog bite calls for Pits. All involved the Pits getting loose and attacking an innocent person. One case, upper middle class neighborhood, pure bred dog, pics of dog and kids in the house, good family (I know the family personally), dog never bit anyone in the past. One day the owners kid opened the gate to their backyard. The dog saw a 4 year old little girl riding her toy arcross the street in her driveway. The dog shot out of the gate, ran across the road, ripped the girl off her toy and proceeded to maul her. Luckily the owner of the dog was able to intervene within a few moments. But not soon enough to prevent a trip to the ER and several stitches. The dog just went off. No reason what so ever. The only good thing that came out of that deal was proving 230 gr Hydrashoks work wonders on Pits. The other two cases were your common white trash, trailer park, got loose and bit someone deals. But still led to trips to the ER. Both were unprovoked attacks. So put up or shut up. |
|
OK, I am putting up. All three examples, the dog got out. They were un controlled. They were probably also untrained. We teach our dog to be friendly. He plays with other dogs (ours stays on our property, other dogs and cats wander the neighborhood when they get loose) and cats and the whole neighborhood knows him. They all play with and pet him. He is very playful, but not in any way dangerous unless provoked by some one messing with me, my fiance' or her son. We have had children over ranging in age from newborn through 18. He has never attacked or bitten anyone, but plays with all. The new born, he sniffed and walked away. When the baby cries, he will bark at its mother until she goes to the baby. He is a very attentive and loving dog. And no friggen inbred is going to put a hydrashock in him without catching one themself. |

|
Nope.. no gerblis.. The RIchard Gere story has tainted the reputation of gerblis.... |
|
|
Looks like someone's surviving family just won the lawsuit lottery. I hope the former owners of the steel yard feel it was worth it.
The lawyers are going to make a fortune. |
|
Uhhhh, I'm so scared once again. Actually the owner in the little girl case asked me to shoot the dog in that case. Funny a guy from TN calling someone from AL an inbred. Go pet your dog it will make you feel better. ETA: I've never been one to think the whole pit ownership thing was about short penis syndrome. But I'm starting to change my mind about it after this conversation. |
||
|
The attack gerbils will run up your leg, enter your rectum and maul you from the inside out. They come equipped with Scaba (self contained anal breathing apparatus) tanks and can therefor survive the harsh enviornment of hood rat rectum. |

So you have dealt with 3 pitbulls and now your an expert? My uncles cocker spaniel bit me on the leg a couple years ago. My sisters cocker spaniel snapped at me last year. I guess im an expert also. You say the little girl was "mauled". What exactly is mauled. Where does being bitten stop and being mauled begin? I think any animal attack is a bite until "pitbull" is brought in then its automatically described as vicious mauling. Why try to sensationalize it. I think if she was truely mauled it would have required more than a few stitches and a trip to the ER.
Also I cant fathom how this is even being debated. Some of you people are so hung up on the anti-pitbull bandwagon its amazing. Lets look at this for what it was and for the sake of the arguement lets say it was 3 german sheperds. 1. Man owns business in crime infested town 2. Man builds fence around his private property 3. Man gets 3 german sheperds to patrol his business when nobody else is around 4. Stupid fuck decides he wants to steal some of Mr. Business Owners private property (I mean come on guys why the hell else would you climb over a fence into a junk yard...lets be real on this) 5. Stupid fuck gets his ass whooped by Mr. Business Owner's GUARD dogs (they arent called GUARD dogs for no reason....and why would you get guard dogs that dont guard? you really think a dog barking is going to stop a determined criminal??? and how are they going to alert somebody is somebody aint there?) 6. Mr. Business Owner loses NONE of his property thanks to his trusty guard dogs sounds like a mission accomplished too me |

ANd you don't deserve to own guns, being even partly a liberal. Ban the dog, but don't ban my gun. Whatever. The dogs were in an enclosed area, where no one was in danger from them UNLESS THEY BROKE THE LAW AND JUMPED THE FENCE. THe dogs stood down when ORDERED to. Sounds like properly trained dogs to me. Or, look at it the other way: a polic dog attacks you. Should the handler be charged with assault or manslaughter for injuries sustained, or death? |
|
|
I've been on several more dog bite calls involving labs, cocker spaniels and other breeds. But these did not require trips to the ER. Just some broken skin. From memory the majority were caused by someones interaction with dog, pulling it's ears etc. The pit bull attacks were unprovoked attacks. Guy cutting grass and the other was just someone walking down the street. The girl had several stitches to her face, puncture wounds to her arms and thighs. I've never claimed to be an expert. Just relating my previous expierence with the breed. A property owner can protect his property without using a pack of dogs that are known to kill more than any other breed of dog. |
|
|
Maybe we should just outlaw breaking the law... then we could do away with assault dogs, assault guns, and cops......
|
|
Every animal bite should mean a trip to the hospital. You have no idea what kind of crap you can get from an animal bite. |
||
|
If the kids did that they would be committing the same crime as the burgular, far as I'm concerned. Kid jumps your fence and your dog kills him, attaboy. Little bastard was breaking the law. When you do stupid shit like illegally enter someone elses property, go somewhere you SHOULD NOT BE you are taking a risk and deserve what you get. I'm getting a pit one day, probably a Bull Mastiff and a Dobie as well. Betcha nothing happens. Dogs Rule |

Compton????
Well, obviously the dogs were racist dogs. Trained and put there by "the man" to keep the black man down.....or at least behind the fence. The racist dogs must die! ETA: I knew a piece of work here in Poughkeepsie that trained his german shepard to go nuts whenever it saw a black person. He lived in a bad part of town that was getting worse every week with robberies, dog-nappings, drug activity, etc. Interesting morality situation because he had a nice safe little enclave in the vacinity of his house and the local foot traffic in his "hood" was severly reduced by local presence of said dog. |
|
You are demonstrating what is known as a "knee-jerk" reaction. Because you know that guard dos are NOT considered the same thing as a deadly boobytrap. Not according to the law. And you KNOW this. Yet you react as you always do, whenever the word "pitbull" is mentioned. How ironically Pavlovian. |
|
|
I don't know. I could see a legal argument about using a KNOWN killer breed of dog as unsupervised guard dog as a type of boobytrap. Cases have been made from people using posinus snakes tied to pot plants. All I have called for is owners being responsible for their animals actions. I think that means jail time for the owners. Apparently I'm not alone, 63% of ARF members agree with me. They just don't speak out like I do on the subject. |
