[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is my neighborhood. https://moco360.media/2024/12/18/pitbull-fatally-shot-wednesday-after-attacking-two-women-in-bethesda/

I want to know which idiot neighbor has two pitbulls that they don’t keep secured. [/quote]

I'd like a public list of any a hole who doesn't keep their dogs secured. Sounds like the human(s) got bit trying to breakup a dogfight that never should've happened, and the end result is 2 dead dogs. How sad! Dog owners should be more responsible about securing and controlling their animals.

But... if the "pitbull(s)" in question were really the vicious beasts y'all want to claim, how is anyone alive to tell this tale? This is literally a dogfight. Could've been any breed of dog. It's sad, and the owners of the loose dogs should be fined (honestly, they should be prevented from owning dogs), but this isn't a clear statement about the breed unless you're willing to say no other dogs behave this way, and they literally all can and do.

It's sensational because "someone said pitbull". Someone said pitbull shouldn't be news.[/quote]
What?! One dog kills a dog and sends two adults to the hospital, and you think that doesn’t make it a vicious beast because the women aren’t dead too? That’s insane.  This story would make the news anywhere regardless of the type of aggressive dog involved because gunshots and police sirens in quiet suburban neighborhoods are always newsworthy.  It just so happens that, as is so very often the case, the vicious out of control dog turned out to be a pitbull.[/quote]

Nobody but idiots here is saying, definitively, that it was a "pit bull". Other interesting points: was the victim's dog leashed? Article says "with its owner", but not "leashed and under the owner's control." Was the dog that was with it's owner barking or acting aggressively toward the loose dogs?

The owner of the loose dogs is at fault. Full stop. There aren't enough facts to place blame on the dogs. They're dogs. Any number of other variables could have contributed to this outcome.

But, again, "someone said pitbull", so it's clearly a vicious dog doing "what pit bulls do" and we won't have any real legislation passed or laws created to actually stop the problem: someone's loose dog(s).[/quote]
