Cox said about a dozen dogs went after Williams’ three children…
No one needs to own a dozen dogs, outside of niche cases like service dog training programs. Certainly no one should have a dozen “pet” dogs. Clearly an irresponsible owner situation.
Afaik the max here is 6, if you have more, you need to be registered.
Anyways this incident must be the responsibility of the owner, he has not secured his dogs properly. Obviously they all need to be put down, and the owner should be tried for manslaughter IMO. What the law says however IDK.
Maybe some sort of causing death through negligence.Edit: just looked it up, the max is 4 adult dogs. More is considered a kennel and requires permission. (Denmark)
It’s such a shame that these could have been perfectly fine dogs if they had been properly cared for.
a) quite possibly true
could have been perfectly fine ____ if properly cared for b) This sentence could describe so many things.
If I say I think it’s pitbulls will I go up or down.
Down. wild is what you’re looking for. This was a pack of wild dogs. Maybe they were owned by someone but this is wild dog behavior. The owner should not only be charged with manslaughter and multiple assault and endangerment, but also some charges for having dogs in a way to do this.
No dog owner would condone any part of this and it’s irrelevant what breed the dogs were.
These were not wild dogs. They were owned. The breed of dog is important for understanding aggression in dogs. Denying that is literally sticking your head in the sand to avoid factual information you don’t want to hear.
Someone better be going away for manslaughter.
Oh no, not golden retrievers again /s
I have a golden and she’s awesome and gentle. That said, I had heard because there’s so many goldens, they are the number one dog for total number of dog bites on children. I guess even a golden has their limits and a kid can find that limit unerringly.
This is why per capita stats exist.
People get mad if you don’t like dogs, but you never read stories about people getting mauled by cats.
To be fair, that’s a big cat.
That’s because they kill in different ways. Cats are more like Rogues - you get a scratch one day and then later you’re dying a slow painful death of Cat Scratch Fever, or silently end your pregnancy with Toxoplasmosis.
Dogs on the other hand are more like Barbarians, they just brute force your death in person as fast as they can.
Edit: Parrots are Bards. That is all I will say.
No, parrots are BIRDS. Honest mistake.
/s
I know someone mauled by a cat and was there when it happened. It was quite dramatic. My friend had an old lady cat who was an absolute removed, she was an interesting character if she liked you, would usually hiss and hide if she didn’t. Friend brought home his girlfriend, cat got jealous and attacked her while they (the couple ) were naked in bed. She was quite torn up, and I was in another room when it happened, was hearing loud music then suddenly screeching then screaming then this naked bloody woman comes running out of the bedroom.
So now you have at least one story.
I will say I am a cat person with dogs, much more than a dog person, but if housecats were as big as dogs, they would be more dangerous than dogs.
Does this count? https://youtu.be/6MoDB7EhBqg?si=4YnM6Kv6O8wgOd-9
I think we should compare dogs and cats to good pets to own, rather than pretending the choices are “big powerful dog” and “environment destroyer 3000.”
After all, both are safe in theory, but irresponsible pet owners ruin it. You can’t expect everyone to correctly take care of certain dog breeds, you can’t expect the majority of cat owners to give up the “proud to roll coal” attitude towards their cat + the environment.
Let’s just have pet spiders or something.
How are cats bad for the environment? Sorry, first time I’ve ever heard someone claim this.
Cats that are allowed to go outside are an absolute menace to small wildlife. They hunt and kill to play, so no matter how well fed they are they will still do it, and they are quite good at it. This is why only indoors cats are allowed on some islands with a fragile ecosystem
Fair enough, but I would compare someone who owns a fat lazy cat to rollin coal assholes.
Yeah the comment you replied to is hyperbolic for sure, but even as a cat person I can see where they’re coming from. At the very least a lot of cat owners have a hard time recognizing the (iirc, scientifically proven) fact that the average outdoors cat kills a lot more small wildlife than they would ever require to survive, and by these numbers, it doesn’t take a ton of them to have a noticeable impact on an ecosystem, especially if you take into account the fact that they usually easily outnumber their natural predators since they are such a popular pet.
By roll coal types I mean people who feel indignation when told they’re doing something harmful to the environment. There’s usually a bit of eye rolling involved.
Maybe it’s just that they’re Parisians, rather than being cats.
(Sorry. Couldn’t resist.)
Parisians are different. Can’t blame anyone for having strong feelings about them.
Don’t try to the parisians guys!
I bet Kristi Noem wouldn’t have stood for this.
There were 12 of these angry dogs, though. Not one trusting dog in a cinder pit. I don’t know if Noem would have been able to handle it even with a gun.
I wouldn’t mind seeing her try.
The breeds of the dogs weren’t specified according to this article.
What a terrible way to go.
When will we hold owners responsible? We have started holding parents responsible for their kids actions we need to do the same for dogs.
Owners are always liable wtf are you talking about???
Should be murder charges.
Edit regardless of breed, your dog is an extension of you.
Edit edit Like as if you killed someone while drunk driving.
Drunk driving has an incomparably higher fatality rate though. (Like 1 in 600 vs pits’ 1 in 500,000)
And you can’t be charged with murder for drunk driving. That’s reckless homicide.
The rate doesn’t matter one fucking bit. Death is death.
Regarding the specific definition, fine, I was speaking colloquially. I’d be excited if vicious dog owners got that charge, at minimum.
Everything has some rate of death. That doesn’t make it reckless. Are you saying anyone who owns another dog or who rides a bikes or who has a tree in his yard or who cooks food or who performs surgery which leads to someone’s death should also get [5–10 years in prison] no matter what?
I’m saying you are responsible for your actions and your property.
If you drive drunk, or negligently shoot someone there are serious consequences.
If you ride a bike recklessly and smoke a pedestrian there are consequences.
If your tree falls on your neighbors house there are consequences.
Edit Surgeons have malpractice insurance and can still have charges brought against them based on their behavior.
Edit They aren’t always the same consequence, because society has determined a responsibility level with each type of action.
I believe if you have a dog capable of killing, and it does so, it should be as if you killed. Same as drunk driving. The specific charge may not be murder, that varies by jurisdiction.
Y’all should just go ahead and lock this one.
It’s only gonna get worse from here.
It’d be a shame to offend a dog.
Or we just acknowledge there is an “assault rifle” of dogs.
Some can own them without issue their whole life.
Some use them (in this case allow them) to cause disproportionate harm, beyond the norm.
Should it be illegal to own? No.
Should stringent training and care standards be in place? Yes.
We don’t know the breed involved yet but we’re mostly assuming it’s pitbulls. They’re illegal to own here in the UK because they keep killing people.
If you’re going to compare them to assault rifles, kinda weird to then suggest that they shouldn’t be banned.
Both should be banned.
I don’t have to describe all facets of all topics.
Assault rifles are already regulated and I’d be stoked to see dangerous dogs at least regulated
Assault Rifles were completely illegal until 2004. Since then mass shootings have skyrocketed, with the majority being committed with Assault Rifles.
If you want to make an argument about something, you should probably know what you’re talking about. I am arguing that we should go back to the way things were in 2003 when you could not legally own an assault rifle without significant credentials.
Assault Rifles are a bad idea, and do more damage than good. Same with Pitbulls. None of this “individual responsibility” bullshit, I want less dead people.
Miss.
You could buy an assault rifles in any year with the right paperwork. It was just incredibly hard to acquire.
Regarding recent mass shootings, you’re thinking of semi automatic ar15s so maybe check your shit
I wasn’t licensure, accountability and consequences
restrict all Assault Dogs!
