pitbulls  

I'm so sorry to hear that you are having problems with any dog. You are right about man has caused this. Why anyone would do this is beyond me, animals only know what they are taught. If any dog is left unattended it will get with other animals and will do whatever necessary to eat. I know it would hurt you very bad to have to shoot one or all if necessary but you do have to protect what is yours. About six years ago my husband and I were riding on our 4-wheeler and ran upon a pack of dogs three of which were pitbulls and six others that were mixed they came at us full force and I know in my heart that they would have attacked because they did try. My husband shot in the air and it didn't stop them at all. They just kept running toward us. My husband had to do what was necessary for our safety. I cried anyway because this had to happen as if the owners would have kept them or taken them to the pound instead of dropping them to fend for themselves this would not have happened. I wish you the best of luck with this situation. Where are the dogs coming from or do you have no idea.

Wild dogs have always seemed to be a problem, people abandoning them, and the dogs forming packs just as it is in their nature. It is sad, and yours is the most sympathetic and sad response I have ever seen about this ongoing problem. I had chow dogs dig under my rabbit house and break the necks of my large Lop rabbits with one little shake. The young man who owned them got a slap on the wrist.

I know exactly what you mean. Pitbulls are lovely dogs and can be very good pets if raised properly. Unfortunately, very sick men usually want these dogs to showcase their macho crap and they make them mean. I think men like that should be imprisoned for life so they won't subject anyone else or any other animal to their sick ways.

Can't your local dogcatcher get them and put them in a shelter? Even euthanasia would be more humane than someone shooting them. I hope they don't pay you a visit. I saw some alpacas on Sunday and thought about your dear llamas. I certainly don't want to hear of them being hurt or frightened.

Too bad nothing will be done to this owner and he will just get some more and not take care of them. I have a Pit Bull mix she was abused when I got here. Now she is spoiled rotten and a angel. She loves animals and people. The first time I took her to the vet I asked what do I need to do so she won't attack anyone. He told me just get her used to people and other dogs and she will be fine. People need to be more responsible and take care of their animals. This can be any type of dog to get into a pack and attack other animals. All dogs are animals and they see farm animals as prey.

Not all Pit Bulls are vicious animals the blame falls on the owners who are not responsible and they need to be held accountable. I think anyone who has a ANY DOG and it is attacking they need to be banned from having any type of dogs. I have had my dog for 10 years and she has never attacked anyone. Please don't think all Pit Bull owners don't care there are a lot of us who shower our dogs with love and they give that love back.

I am sorry the farm animals are getting attacked. Keep on the owner and see what can you do to enforce him keeping the dogs in a fenced area so they won't get out. Not only to harm the farm animals but to also save their life as well.

Good luck

Pit bulls are a very sad topic. People that choose to have these dogs should take responsibility for them. I do mean proper training and attention. I have known some very sweet pit bulls but I have known some that have been very mean too. It is a sad situation with that breed.

I hate it when People do that train their Pets to be vicious and Kill
I wish there was some law to sy they are not allowed to do this no wonder they start attacking People as well as other Animals

oh my G hi savypat I feel all those emotions when some one says pit bull. In one day two people just walking along a street in tustin ca were savagely attacked by two loose pitbulls and died of their wounds. An hour later on that same street a second grader coming home from school was attacked by another loose pit bull and had his face and throat ripped up so much he was weeks in the hospital having plastic surgery and the owners of those damned dogs pleaded not guilty, well they were found guilty and all three of those dogs were put to death. the owners had chained them in an open yard and the chains were rusted and broke when the dogs kept lunging trying to get loose.the people killed had done nothing to provoke those dogs they were just walking to their homes on that street in Tustin. I do not know if they were just born evil or the owners had made them that way but they should have been enclosed in a fenced in yard and on stout new chains. I really dislike pit bulls as they are treacherous.

In my place the street dogs are real headache, they bite people crossing the roads, cows , goats too, enter home of others, the municipality used to catch earlier, but no more active these days..
Thanks for sharing.
God bless you.
Cheers.
