Another dog attack

This is from someone close to the first link posted recently about the dog in Scotland.

I’m nothing to do with it apart from being semi local and knowing people who know people…I literally have no dog in the fight, just posting for a bit of context that the news outlets may not cover correctly.

There has been a bit of local outrage at the way it was handled by the police, including ignoring complaints about the Collie dog and its owner. At least 3 people have came forward claiming to have been bitten by it and reported it before.

There has also been several witnesses coming forward to back up the story below:

“Let's end the ridiculous rumours going around about me.

I will say the following about what happened and then I'm logging out because I can't mentally cope anymore.

Six shots.

That's how many times firearms officers shot an injured, exhausted, terrified dog.

Below is a picture of the "mauling" one of the people trying to seperate the two fighting dogs received.

The other dog received minor injuries and was discharged from the vets after 30 minutes and given paracetamol.

Kilo was on the lead when an off lead dog approached him, the owner was warned several times that Kilo had not spent much time around other dogs, but "it's ok because my dog's friendly". They had a scuffle and were promptly seperated. One of the neighbours had wirnessed it and called the police.

When police arrived they hooked an exhausted, wounded Kilo with a catchpole, marched him away from the area, ordered everyone to stand back, slowly counted to 10 and shot him. After his screams echoed out, they shot him again, and again.

He wasnt a "devil dog", his name was Kilo, his crime? Being an XL Bully.

Good.

Returns when he is ready or called in. Probably out three or four times a day. His group interact with other packs from further up the road, usually okay but might involve some barking (especially about 02:00 - quite the chorus of howling!)

....
Had a few scraps - couple of stitches in his head - but that dogs for you. I don’t care who’s dog did it. Hopefully mine gave him a good kicking.

....

Point being none are aggressive, not always interested in other dogs or people or hyped up to go for a walk.

Sounds idyllic :rollseyes

Is it in India? (If not MK).

Wherever it is, I am bloody glad I don't live there, it sounds absolutely chaotic.

Basingstoke, obviously.

There are plenty posters here who are old enough to remember the 70s when packs of dogs roamed freely around council estates. It was such a good idea that by the 80s most of the problem was eliminated.

I was at a school in the middle of a council estate in the 70`s and I remember quite a few occasions where there was an out of control dog in the school grounds and we all had to stay indoors. I also remember the local perv who used to lean over the fence and offer us sweets

Droitwich Grey haired old chap I think, but then everyone seems old at that age. No idea of his name, as we never got that close. He didn't have lemon sherbets, so I was out

Wouldn't hurt a fly and only gave a friendly nibble.

Probably jumps up at people because he's friendly too.

This is a parody, right? Straight out of Simon Bates' 'Our Tune'.

Close but no cigar.

A round up of dog attacks in the UK and America from last year up until today. Not just XL Bullys either.

Joe Biden's GSD has apparently bitten the secret service team 24 times in 9 months.....

Let dogs roam freely and before you know it there is dog st all over the pavements, dogs being hit by cars, sheep being killed etc


I am old enough to remember when dogs were allowed to roam in the uk. It was not ideal. I saw a kid bitten in the school playground, a terrier used to hang around the local VG shop buying several people a day, pavements had lots of dog st on them.

To suggest it would be better to let a species that hunts in packs , hang out in uncontrolled packs during the day is delusional at best.

If delusional why does it seem to work reasonably well.

.

Does it? bks!

I'm the owner of two small dogs that we keep under control at all times, one would love you to death but jumps as a result and the other barks at the mere hint of another dog/person (sounds aggressive but it's a nervous anxiety caused by getting attacked).
I was jumped on by an 8 month old Alsatian last year while out running. The owner failed to keep his gate shut. I ended up on the ground with grazing to my head, arm and leg and a bill for £250 for broken specs. I'm now unable to walk or run that way anymore as I don't feel comfortable. It's about half a mile from home. Owner initially agreed to pay for the specs but then refusd in case I then took it further. Wish I'd called the police there and then instead of walking home dripping blood.

Another arrest following a fatality involving a pack of dogs.

Slight slant on dog attacks, our son was walking his dog in Raynes Park the other day and passed a woman with a Greyhound on a lead.

He heard her scream, turned back and saw the greyound had a cat in its jaws, she couldnt get her dog to let the cat go, and within minutes the cat was dead.

He had no idea how he dog got hold of the cat, but found out later it was quite old and had a medical problem which prevented it running.

Our son keeps his dog muzzled, and could really help, dont think I would either with or without a dog.

[RumbleOfThunder]

Our family cat was mauled to death by a Lurcher off its lead. Owners assured me it was out of character but that didn't bring our cat back. This is why I'm pro muzzles for XL Bully's. Dogs with the capacity to do great damage should be muzzled, because you just never know.

One thing I've seen from social media screenshots is that people with pitbulls mention about their dog killing numerous cats in a very off-handed way, or if it's a shelter they will mention something like "Luna a complete cuddly sweetheart but cannot be rehomed with cats due to previous incidents" (but apparently babies are ok)

Just shows the level of intelligence tbh

I've seen photos of large dogs next to little kids and I often think the poor kid may as well be a tin of winalot as far as the dog is concerned.
