7-month-old pitbull attacked neighbor's rooster, neighbor retaliates by beating dog with brass knuck - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Sexy Eskimo;31461578]I would also chase that fucker down and then punch the owner, for being so fucking careless.[/QUOTE] No you wouldn't

1. Would you really cut a dog's ear off that was attacking your animal? Wouldn't you hit it with a blunt object or something? 2. You guys are like 'what if it was a child'. The thing is, dog's have instincts to attack birds, but not children. A dog won't attack a child without provocation, or abuse etc. etc.

Right, so dogs have instincts to attack birds, but then they chase cars and maul cats. Breeds like the pitbull are hunting, fighting dogs. They're bred to lock onto and attack things which move fast, like game animals. If the woman's child was zipping around in the backyard when the dog was out, chances are good the pitbull would have attacked the child. Dogs can barely make a distinction when it comes down to the instincts that have been bred into them. The reason it attacked the rooster is likely because the rooster freaked out and started to run as soon as it saw the dog, triggering the hunt/attack instinct in the dog.

pitbulls were bred to hunt, but an owner who knows how to make dogs behave (most owners of pitbulls don't) can suppress their violent instincts

Wow this is fucking horrible. However, I can help but feel sorry for the rooster. He is the real victim of this story, and he died a hero.

[QUOTE=ZpankR;31460367]I don't want to sound like a huge jerk but I wouldn't fucking care what the type of pet it was, if I liked it as much as any other kind of animal I would tear the living shit out of anything that would hurt it.[/QUOTE] That was my first thought too but what this person did went beyond the point of just being mad about your pet, it was bordering on psychopathic

[QUOTE=cecilbdemodded;31459100]A bunch of winners in this story: Dog owner not properly controlling their animal(a pitbull no less)- check Kid who repeats the same phrase for everything("...like that")- check Someone confronts someone else and gets owned(tip, don't start shit you can't finish)- check Someone winds up in jail- check Snarky family member says no to bail, pretending it's a moral issue and not simply because he ain't wasting money on the bitch- check[/QUOTE] The pitbull getting out was accidental.. the woman cutting off the dogs ear was intentional. And what's wrong with her confronting her neighbor after her brutal and criminal act against her pet? And how the fuck is this somehow the dog owners fault that the neighbor is unable to control herself and use words to settle problems, instead choosing to assault the dog owner? I don't know what place you come from, but last time I checked you don't get the legal right to assault someone because they said some things you didn't want to hear. It's not a case of "don't start shit you can't finish", the rooster owner was a [b]fucking moron[/b], who assaulted someone because she felt like it. I totally agree with the cousin and I'd let the cunt rot in jail as well. Hopefully she receives the maximum penalty not only in regards to attacking the animal, but for assault charges (spitting on someone is considered a form of assault) as well.

There are Saturday morning cartoon show villains kinder and more tactful than this chick, man.

[QUOTE=rosar0980;31459697] And, second, what difference does it make that it's a pitbull? I'm sorry but anyone who stereotypes dogs that they are violent/whatever just because of what some people use a certain breed for are absolute dipshits. I know three people who own pitbulls, and hey are all the friendliest creatures in the world. One of them was even taken from a shelter after being rescued in a dogfighting bust, and he isn't violent or aggressive in the slightest. You, sir, are an absolute idiot. It's all in how the dog was raised, it's not the breed. I could raise a chihuahua to be the most vicious bastard in the world, but its offspring could be the most adorable, friendliest dogs ever.[/QUOTE] This isn't entirely true. While I agree that pitbulls are far too maligned and stereotyped, it's not as simple as that. Pitbulls as a breed have a prey drive that is geared towards aggression to animals, since the breed's line was purpose bred to bait and catch bulls by holding onto the nose. Hence why you a lot of pitbulls are involved in incidents against other dogs or small animals, but the owners claim the dog is nothing but overly friendly towards people. Part and parcel of being a dog owner in my opinion, is knowing your dog, and not being ignorant of what it might do when you let roam free. For example, I have two huskie cross German Sherpherds, bred from a working line. One of them is a pretty typical husky sort and is friendly to most that come into the house, the other is very aggressive towards strangers and other dogs. Being working line dogs, I know they have a very high prey drive and I handle them around people as such, I don't let them off their leash and I ask people not to try patting them or getting close. However you are correct that the most important part is how well socialized and how the dog is raised. But people who are blissfully ignorant that their dog possess the ability to kill (some people like to forget that a lot of established breeds aren't that far removed from wolves - such as the GSD or various wolfdog breeds - and that dogs are predators) are almost as bad as the people who raise their dogs badly. Responsibility is not something that should be overlooked when picking a dog.

That poor dog. :(

put the dog down put the woman down

Why wasn't the dog on a leash?

[QUOTE=SuperDuperScoot;31460444]I don't see why pitbulls are so stereotyped. My best friend has one and she's the sweetest thing I've ever seen. Wouldn't hurt a fly. ... Well she might eat it but my cat even eats bugs... But seriously, she's never bitten anyone and she's at least 5 years old or so. Loves going outside for play time and walks. Not every pitbull is bad... It more or less depends on who raised it.[/QUOTE] Pitbulls make fantastic family pets - for humans. However the breed has a tendency for aggression towards other dogs and animals. This isn't to say your or someone's pitbull is going to attack other animals to a certainty, if a dog is very socialized from a young age and doesn't experience any events that would spark aggression towards other dogs/animals, then it's highly unlikely it will be aggressive. So yes, the main defining factor remains the owner and how well the dog is socialized.

who cares about the butcher knife woman, the owner of the pit-bull should be charged with negligence for letting a fucking pit-bull just wander around on it's own.

I figured it would be some 3rd world country, and I wasn't disappointed.

Beating a dog is only going to make things worse. Unless one is [I]directly attacking at that very second[/I], all it will do is make the dog worse. Dogs respond horribly to negative reinforcement, and all it will do is make the dog fearful of people.

[QUOTE=halflambada;31467951]Read the article broski, It got out from the backyard[/QUOTE] Because of the owner's negligence to chain it up.

It's only 7 months old, goddamnit...

Whoa, not a cool thing to do. Must have been really painful for the dog.

If that pitbull wasn't that young she wouldn't be the one getting hurt.

[QUOTE=Guardian-Angel;31467979]Because of the owner's negligence to chain it up.[/QUOTE] I somewhat disagree. If you have a rather large backyard, you should let your dog run free, specially when they're young, as they like to run around constantly... if you keep it chained, then they tend to become violent. But yeah, she should have kept an eye on it, so there was some negligence on her part.

[QUOTE=Blueplastic;31468090]If that pitbull wasn't that young she wouldn't be the one getting hurt.[/QUOTE] What.. is 7 month that young for a dog? Because by the picture it has got some size really.. Usually pitbulls aren't that big anyway.. just vicious!

[QUOTE=Guardian-Angel;31467979]Because of the owner's negligence to chain it up.[/QUOTE] You're kind of dumb hth. If you have a yard that is securely fenced, you're more than within your right to let your dog run around it. Keeping a dog on a leash all day is cruel. If you dog getting out is not something that could've been easily foreseen, then that is an [B]accident[/B]. Negligence would be something like those assholes that have dogs that just walk around the street all day long, or someone not taking preventative measures when they see there's a weak spot or hole under a fence that the dog could get out from.

[QUOTE=LunchboxOfDoom;31458386]Or because they like chickens... times like this I reflect on my grandparents and their farm life. Using this same logic, why would someone keep a pit bull unless they were going to use/had been using it for dog fights or something? It did viciously attack another animal after all. But I digress.[/QUOTE] It killed it for the same reason humans attack KFC chicken: INSTINCT Could have made a black joke there but I have class.

I hate pitbulls any way so I'm glad this happened.
