Pit bull got some last minute revenge sounds like
from the article
We responded out here to a dog attacking multiple workers and three people were transported to the hospital, one being in critical condition right now,? Clark County Sheriff?s Sgt. Scott Elliott said.


Elliott said the wounds were to the victims? upper body and extremities.

Rescue founder Molly Murray said the 2- to 3-year-old male pit bull named ?Mayhem? was being taken to a veterinarian to be euthanized after he bit at least three people.

Murray said the dog showed no signs of aggression before Monday night?s attack, and that he had been rescued from a drug bust along with a female and some pups.

FIRST REPORT

At least three people have been taken to hospitals from a dog attack in Monday evening in New Carlisle.

    rescued from a drug bust? then it attacks strangers.

    I might be missing something here, but a dog isn't going to see strangers like it sees its owner. or is it supposed to be a harmless teddy bear to everyone in the world?

    I'm guessing if the rescue owner was taking it to be put down she had her reasons.

    Pit bulls are dogs Judge Judy hates with a passion and believe NO ONE should have one.

    I tend to agree with her.
    The government has no rights. Only the people have rights which empowers the government.
    We have enough gun laws, what we need is IDIOT control.
    Blood makes you related. Loyalty makes you family.

    That is true and we need look no further than the government; local, state and federal. However, I have never banned or made anything illegal to have.

    And thanks to the first amendment, we can still all have opinions and express them....not allowed in some countries or cultures. ;)

    How many "Dog Attacks," that are not Pit related, get reported on?

    Pretty much none.

    Kinda like every "Mass Shooting," involves an AR. (Right?)

    Even those, that do not, get reported as such.

    If you do not think that is so, (?) how many here doubt the "Media?" (No one, right?)

    Could not possibly be wrong. Right?






    Puhleese................................................................................................Facts scewed religiously. Everyday.


    Wrong. Right?

    Nothing wrong with owning a Pit. You know what you own and how to manage him. You've stated yourself you wouldn't want to be on the wrong side of him so you know the potential. Yes all breeds have the potential to attack.

    When someone is treated for an animal bite it is reported to the county health department. That means there is actual recorded data to evaluate. When I fill out an animal bite form in the ER I take the person's reporting the bite word for the animal and breed involved. Most bites are dog bites and most of the people reporting are the owners of the dog. An owner generally isn't going to make up a breed to place on their own dog. Given such a large data base the percentages can't be skewed much by false reporting. Most people that get dog bites are bitten by a known dog. Bites from random dogs are a small percentage. My point is, in the recorded data, the percentage of bites per breed is pretty accurate. Not news reports but hard data.

    The facts are what they are and shouldn't be ignored. The two most dangerous breeds in this country, based on number of attacks resulting in death, correlated with the number of dogs of those breeds, are Pit Bulls And Rottweilers. There are more pits than rots but the percentages are basically the same. Look it up. Fatal or serious injury attacks by other breeds are reported but pits make up 35-40% of those type of attacks, that's not all dog bites, just the serious stuff. Of course pits get reported on more, because they do more and like you said they make headlines.

    Yes.

    People have the right to expound on things, (like owning an AR or etc.?) that they have never owned, handled responsibly, or really have any first hand knowledge of.

    The First Amendment is great, in that respect.

    Carry on.



    My Pit, is (by Far) the Best dog, I have ever owned. Yes, I own one. Have you? (Ever?)


    I know, I know - I can hear it coming. "I would Never own one." Kinda sounds like a Liberal, and an AR. (Doesn't it?)



    If you own one, treat it/handle it Responsibly.

    Obviously, ........................................there are those..............................................who do not.





    The initial OP, confirms/expounds upon that. Adopted from a Drug dealer. Dog named "Mayhem?" (Obviously a well loved, socialized, trained Pit.) What could possibly go wrong there?

    To your question, no, I've never owned a pit bull.

    Growing up on the farm, dogs that were dumped off by 'town people' would wander in from time to time. Some would hang around for awhile and some not. They were fed and never abused; same as the poultry and livestock which were the farm income.
    Some were friendly and some not so much regardless of size or true breed or 57 breed.
    Never owned or kept an animal after leaving the farm.
    I do know a couple that has a pit bull.
    I don't trust it nor most other animals but do respect their presence same as the huge Hereford bulls we had on the farm.

    https://news.yahoo.com/woman-95-dies-dog-attack-173627854.html

    95 year old woman is killed by a dog in Connecticut.

    C&P
    SUFFIELD, Conn. (AP) ? A 95-year-old Connecticut woman has died from injuries she suffered when she was attacked by a dog at the home of a former lawmaker who is also an animal rights activist.

    Authorities say Janet D'Aleo, of Enfield, was found with life-threatening injuries Wednesday and brought to a Massachusetts hospital.

    Police say D'Aleo was visiting a home in Suffield when she was bitten. The address disclosed by police is the same address as the home of animal rights activist and former state Rep. Annie Hornish.

    Authorities say the 4-year-old male pit bull and pointer mix has been quarantined, pending further investigation.

    Suffield Police Chief Richard Brown says officers will investigate the dog's background and what prompted the attack.




    Dogs are unpredictable. My 2 Golden Retrievers are as different as night and day from each other. Jack is sweet and loves every dog or person he encounters where Chip is an Alpha dog and doesn't attack other dogs but will if provoked. I have had many Golden retrievers and Chip is the 1st one who is not very social with other dogs except Jack who he gets along fine with.

    My dogs run loose 99% of the time but I live in the country. When people come over they are happy to see them but if they have kids I put the dogs up or on a leash. Jack is notorious for licking baby's and young kids in the face. I wouldn't trust Chip around a baby or kid.

    It doesn't say if or why she was alone with the dog only that she was found with bites.

    They state the dog was a pointer and pit bull mix(Strange Mix IMO)

    Did you read the comments?

    Pit Bulls are genetically unstable. They should be outlawed, and the breed eliminated.

    I am sorry if my reply was overly confrontational Q&D. Not my intent. I just get a little tweaked with the constant Pit Bull BS.

    My dog is (by far) the Best dog I have ever owned. He is a total sweetheart with me. If I am out in public, with him on a lead/chest harness - he is all about the Love.

    Same dog, show up on our property unannounced, a different animal. Can be scary. He minds well though. If I am present and tell him, "He's Okay, He's Okay." He calms right down and you are good. Otherwise, I'd recommend not coming in to tether range.

    My dog. NEVER roams free. EVER.

    I did not take it as confrontational. From what you state, I do believe you are a responsible dog owner and that is totally awesome. I cannot say the same for a great many that own dogs or cats or whatever animal, therefore when encountering any animal in the wild or 'domesticated' IMO it's best to respect their presence and be alert. More than once, I've seen a 'docile' animal suddenly and viciously attack for no apparent reason.
