Who’s willing to bet these were pitbulls?

This is so sad. Dogs can be amazing companions, but owners need to step up and train them properly.

I wonder if this will be the catalyst for action around banning/regulation of ownership and breeding of dangerous dog breeds? Not that the recent attacks on a lady with a pram and elderly woman were enough, apparently.

Unfortunately, the type of people who like to own dogs with aggressive tendency are also the biggest drop kicks who don’t properly train or take care of their animals.

Why won’t the article name the breed of dogs?

When I was a teenager, about 15, I did pamphlet delivery. There was one dog that was intimidating. It had a 1.3-1.5m or so picket fence along the front and the dog had broken the tops of several pickets jumping at people and snarling. It used to pace the entire front yard going off its head as I rode past. One day as I was passing and the dog was visualising sinking its teeth into my legs the owner came out and yelled at it, the dog went to the owner and I saw the owner pick up a broom and hit it. The noise was sickening.
So to this day I don’t blame pit bulls or staffies, because 90% of the time its not the dog but the POS owner. It just happens that staffy type breeds are the ones these POS owners tend to buy and abuse.

This stuff will continue while we continue to enable it.
* We allow dangerous dog breeds to be owned. Staphies and the like are known dangerous breeds and we allow them.
* The law favours owners over residents. Because of this police and councils have little power to actually do anything.
* We don’t criminally charge people for the actions of their dangerous dogs.

My worst nightmare. I was attacked by two dogs (of a similar breed I’d imagine) many, many years ago and it still gives me nightmares to this day.
