If my dogs ever tried to kill me, I’d just pin them both down. That’s the benefit of not having insanely powerful dogs.
IMO you shouldn’t have a dog that you can’t physically restrain. Any dog can snap and you need to be able to physically stop them if that happens.
So huge dogs should just remain ownerless?
There’s a difference between that and policies that discourage breeding, etc.
I don’t see many people advocating to outright kill dogs. There are a ton of pits in every shelter and yet people still run backyard breeding operations or tell everyone to get a pit. The breed would be better served if we told people they were more of an advanced breed that need the right kind of owners and environment.
They should be put down.
Send 'em to God.
Cripes, what kind of a dick do you have to be to your own dogs to get attacked by them?
There is no evidence that she was being terrible towards the dogs
Some dogs can just snap and decide to not be nice one day, its a good reason you don’t let dogs you’ve seen be calm interact with babies because it only takes a small amount of the dog not being nice to end up harming a baby
Older people have a better chance of surviving dog attacks but the chance isn’t 100% and cases like this can happen
And if I recall correctly this breed is more prone to aggressiveness
I doubt it. Not walking them enough, keeping them cooped up, no outlets - especially if they weren’t fixed. Sad all around, but the dogs are not hatching evil plans, they’re just dogs.
Spay and neuter. Spay and neuter. And adopt.
Some dogs get older and I assume confused and just snap. My grandmother’s dog, sweetest girl, golden retriever, service dog, previously good with other animals and cats. My Grandmom brought home a kitten and the dog mauled it. Do not trust dogs. Just like people they can do something totally out of character.
I wonder if Lemmy will be any more Normal about dogs than snoosite was
Update: prognosis is not looking good
This must have flown right by me, but what was Reddit’s attitude?
“All pits are violent and will maul any passing child.” It was pretty annoying.
pitbulls are disproportionately predisposed to all kinds of violence/mauling. Even though it’s not their fails since they were specifically bred for that purpose.
and the two registered dogs were safely seized having been contained inside a room, a spokesperson for the Metropolitan police said.
What is confusing about this?
It’s a joke referencing American cops often shooting dogs for no reason
