DEPUTY KILLS FAMILY DOG

[gunman41mag]

I suppose it's possible. Bad rep for the breed in general doesn't help. Some bad apples in every bushel but pits have a history that should be regarded with caution.

If you treat your pit-bull as a dog they are great dogs, but some evil people train their pit-bull to fight till the death, they become very aggressive

Well-bred dogs of the breeds often called "pits" (American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier) who haven't been exposed and bred in horrible settings are actually very stable and solid dogs, among the best you can own. Unfortunately a combination of an MSM crusade and lowbrowMikeVick folks who abuse the dogs have given them a bad name.

Prejudice is prejudice. The only difference is in degree. Granted, if you want to be a bigot, be one against dogs. The impulse is the same, however.

Theres no such thing as a bad breed, only bad owners.

Wrong place? You mean his own backyard?

Let's switch this around...

K9 attacks my Pit I'm shootin the K9.

Then what happens?

yep. if i see any dog in my backyard attacking my dog or coming at me its gonna be a dead doggy! i dont care if it says police right on the side of that dog. i also have the right to protect my family and myself. Im talking about shooting a dog here people, not the police. and no matter how much they want it to be a dog is NOT a cop! its a tool owned by the city, and if your tool gets out of line its time for a new tool. dogs owned by a family is a family member.

The problem is the police dog trainer should be smart enough to know when to use the police dog & when not

The "pit" is the "evil" dog du jour. In the past , the same type of fear and hatred has been assigned to GSD's, Dobermans,Chows, and so forth. Whenever a breed becomes popular as a watchdog/ guardian type breed of the day, stupid/evil people abuse them and make them vicious. And then the media/community will pile on to spread the fear and mistrust.

All types of dogs have been known to attack other dogs or even people, however when its a pitbull it tends to be more vicious because they are stronger and have sharper, bigger teeth. I think no dog is likely to be more aggressive than another unless it has been trained to be. This dog was simply defending his yard from what was probably quite a commotion. Just like its already been said no bad dogs just bad owners, much like I always say with parents and children.

Agreed, again I will say poor judgement on the part of the officer,
he should loose his job.

Senseless.

It wasn't bad owners, it was bad police

Sounds like the k-9 was assisting in the pursuit possibly, crappy situation but it doesn't sound like the officer had time to inform the home owner. Did he need to shoot the dog? probably not. I would bet a taser would have killed it too, just like this one.
crappy situation, but what can you do.

At the very least..... APOLOGIZE.

 

[E5RANGER375]

Put a MOAT & BARB WIRE to keep the police out of the back yard

electric fence and claymores maybe

 

[E5RANGER375]

id love to have wire on top of my fence, but then if they (my opinion on the illegally part) illegally jump into my back yard and get caught in it they are gonna sue me and probly win. now how ****ed up is that?

 

[rjstew317]

dogs aren't pets, their an emergency food source

 

[hickuleas]

K-9 officers have some of the worst attitudes i have seen. They think that their life and that of the dog is much more important than yours.

 

[shooter1054]

I'm calling for Moat Estimates first thing in the morning. Anybody got a guy?
