Man strangles dog after child attack

forget the "cared for" rubbish. IMO he killed his dog to get rid of the evidence.

I am a HUGE fan of staffies - who normally get the blame for these attacks (Pits are not allowed be bred in this country) - I have 2 and sometimes 3 when I get my sisters. The watchword is "terriers" - they are active and highly intelligent but were originally bred to be a true family dog. I am careful when I introduce them to other dogs as both mine are rescues and do not like strange dogs leaping on them - fine when they are introduced or will give me plenty of warning if they are not sure - and they are brilliant at the yard. The ones we have had from scratch (puppies) are always fine with strange dogs. I get involved with rescue for these poor dogs and the rescues/pounds over overflowing with these dogs - bred for quick money, bred to give "status" to idiots with no brains and then dumped. My older bitch is frequently "used" by anxious parents to introduce yelling/small children to dogs as she is brilliant with them and teaches them not to put their face next to hers (they get her tongue across her face) Forget the "staffie" bit - focus on "terrier" and then you can see why these mindless thugs who do NOT exercise their dogs, do NOT socialise them ruin this breed. Next time you see some delinquent dragging a poor staffie on a short chain, please do what I do = embarrass the hell out of the idiot when i go up to make a fuss of said dog who then gives me the staffie smile and normally shows their tummy for a rub and a cuddle.
 
Deed not Breed everytime! Sadly whilst idiots are allowed to have the latest 'cool' dog on the end of their lead - usually in a bloody leather harness that gives minimal control and is perfect for bullies to lean into - this kind of thing will continue to happen. :-(
IMO He should be caught and strangled in a park too though! Evil Git!
 
I find it very telling that nodoby is condemning the owner of the dog in the recent soapbox post for not having her puppy on a lead. This puppy was loose in a public place and it was subsequently kicked to death by people it ran up to (it was a Jack Russel 10 wks old)


Now if breed was not a factor why was this man condemned for having his dog loose and nobody even batted an eye lid about the JR being loose? It was all the fault of the person who kicked it in this case?



seems to say breed and size of dog does matter for condemnation in public opinion in my opinion
 
not sure how I feel really, its ok to let a fox be ripped apart infront of kids by a pack of dogs cos it kills chickens and other stock yet we don't find it acceptable for a man to strangle his dog when he savagely attacks a child.

I think if the dog had savagely attacked my kid I would have strangled it myself.
 
you are missing the point - dont focus on the breed. Its the really stupid idiots who take these dogs for the wrong reasons and mistreat them. Terriers are notorious for being poor with small fluffies,unles introduced at an early age, are also very bright and will find ways of amusing themselves if not stimulated enough - and I will put ALL terriers into this, be it, Staffie, JR, Paterdate, Border etc etc. Staffies are bred to be exceptionally good with people and family dogs, yet these people abuse them. I had a highly unpleasant and very illuminating conversation with an RSPCA field officer about these thugs abuse and warp their dogs. Oh and btw - it would seem staffs aren't "fericious" enough now as they are being bred with other breeds for a "tougher" dog. A staffs "natural" tendenancy would be to greet all people with open arms and if you think there is any chance your dog will not behave with other dogs/people you keep it on a lead! Even if there are no dogs around, just people I will still keep mine on a lead because I fully appreciate that not everyone will welcome an over enthusiastic staffie asking for attention.
 
agree luci07, all dogs are potentially dangerous in the wrong hands the wrong dog with the wrong education is a recipe for disaster good ole Cesar redecuates all breeds with behaviour problems or as he would say reducates the owners as its the owners that have the problems not the dogs
