Man strangles dog after child attack

A. If he was a half decent dog owner, the dog never would have attacked in the first place, and:
B. he should have had the dog destroyed humanely, no matter what!
 
Ditto, what a moron

I don't think he did the right thing at all.

If he "did the right thing" the incident would have been less likely to happen, and he would have had the dog humanely destroyed.

From the way the article is written he was more scared of what people would think of him/would happen to him so he got rid of the issue as quickly as possble...
 
poor dog!! this moron should never have had such a breed in the first place. every damned time this happens its always some ignorant idiot who is not looking after the dog responsibly and its always a breed not suited to be around children- WHENwill people ever learn???
 
I dont think it was the right thing at all

Hitting the dog,yep could understand that.
Strangling the dog,again could understand why but to really try to kill it,then put in in a bin bag and dump the body in a public bin???

I dont understand why he allowed the situation to happen in the first place

As a child,we had a GSD who had been beaten and pushed from home to home.
He WOULD have attacked anyone if given the chance-so we walked him at night when we were least likely to bump into people and with a mussle on so protect the dog,us and anyone we came into contact with.
If the owner had reasont o think he dog might be agressive,why was it off lead?Why was it not wearing a mussle?
 
maybe iam missing something, but why is this coming to light nearly 1 month later?

It should never have happened in the first place, some dog owners of 'those' breeds don't seem to get the message about the higher possibility of this sort of thing happening?
Glad the child will be ok.
 
I had a friend who together with her boyfriend told me they had strangled a local neighbour's dog because it kept barking at her horse when she rode past.
Apparently they used baler twine and it took a while to die.
I was so disgusted I broke off all ties and now have no contact with them at all, yet believe me she was a well respected member of the equestrian community..
I have always regretted not telling the police but what proof did I have, it was her word against mine..
So I can well believe that man did this.

It isnt the breed of dog,its the way the animals are raised.I dont like sheep dogs as they can be nasty as are jack russels. I know someone who has pitts and they are good with the kids.
I know what the man did to the poor dog was wrong and he needs to be punished for it.BUT if he knew the dog was nasty he should of had it muzzled and leashed. When I take my dog to the vets I make sure they put a muzzle on him to protect everyone as he will go for the vet.
Some people just shouldnt be dog owners!!!
 
At the end of the day the dog should have been on a lead... this man needs to be caught if he can strangle a dog in broad daylight and in front of people what else is he capable of....

Poor dog though... not a very humane way to die....

What a horrific thing to do!

it isn't the right thing to do at all!!!!

the dog presumably was brought up and educated by the owner- obviously not very well as it attacked a child!

whatever the dog did it should have been humanely destroyed.

i would imagine he killed it himself as he knew charges would be pressed if he took it to a vet to pts for an attack on a child

Perfectly put.

Also, what are the chances it was a 'pit-bull'? They can't just say bull breed-type. I wouldn't know a pit-bull if it introduced itself and I doubt the vast majority of the British Public could, it is just as likely it was a mongrel with a high % of bull breed in it, wouldn't have the same affect though would it!
 
horses for courses!! we have Jack Russells and sheep dogs being farmers, they are not nasty but i wouldn't have them near small children!! they are known to have odd natures, loving you one minute, the next losing a chunk of your leg so they should never be allowed in that sort of situation!
 
Anyone who could inflict that kind of painful death on an animal he had previously cared for and probably been affectionate towards, should be treated very suspiciously I think! If he can do that to his own pet, what must he be capable of doing to a stranger who antagonises him? Or even to his own family?

Could anyone here possibly bear to watch a dog being killed so painfully and slowly? Let alone be the one who kills it! The man definitely needs some kind of psychological evaluation, that's for sure.
 
Theres a man here who has a Sheep dog,he knows its nasty,refuses to muzzle it.It went for my daughter once and theres also someone else who has a NASTY jack russel it goes for people and he wont muzzle that either.
Dog should of been PTS humanely!
 
horrific
My heart goes out to the child but if there was a need to destroy the dog it should have been done humanely by a qualified person. Makes you wonder what other cruelty this poor animal had been subjected to.
Sick sick people out there

OMG lol lol That is the most sensible thing I have ever, ever read regarding pitbulls whether it be in the press or on a forum. I absolutely take my hat off to you!
I for one am sick to the back teeth of this breed 'type', rubbish which has only surfaced due to the Dangerous dogs act, one of the worse thought out pieces of legislation ever. It tops the hunting with hounds law a million times over.

Funnily enough most people in the world couldnt recognise a true pit bull and we in 'Great' Britain banned a breed because of two attacks were the dogs were NEVER CAUGHT, IDENTIFIED IN ANY WAY and no one was prosecuted???? Absolute nonsense IMHO.

Anyway, great post and well said

You're right, the DDA is a byword for poor legislation, was a total knee-jerk reaction to public hysteria and is really poorly drafted as well. Shouldn't think working on it has pride of place on anyone's CV...

maybe I've got the wrong end of the stick her but Ive a few doubts.
I'm sure it would take more than a minute or two to strangle a dog so why isn't there a better description of the man and/or why didn't anybody intervene ??
also do you always carry a bin liner to put your dog into if its bitten someone !!!

there's something about this story that just doesn't seem right !!
the whole story seems a little too vague.
and as for the bitten child where are the photos or details of injuries.
maybe the report Ive read in my local paper was lacking in facts.
the worst detail was the comment that the dog obediently returned to its owner to then be 'strangled' surely if the dog was hell bent on attacking someone it wouldn't have returned and/or would've attacked its owner whilst being 'strangled'
 
If that dog would have bit my child I would have strangled it to death myself.


This could have happened on a lead or not with a vicious animal like this. It could have easily broke free if aggitated and done the same thing. Obviously this owner is an idiot and made him this way ( sadly) but I can understand what he did and why.

Maybe he was paincked and worried the dog would get away from him before they got home and do it again to somone? That looks like a big dog to carry home alive and struggling! I am sorry but I can understand his actions for a few reasons.
