Confirming what a small leap it is from apes to humans, a women is in hospital after her dogs attacked her.
Neighbours said Daniella Donaldson, 34, was trying to separate the dogs when they attacked her. She managed to flee inside her home after a neighbour heard her screams and came to her aid. As Ms Donaldson lay bleeding inside, the dogs turned on other terrified neighbours. Armed police finally escorted rescue crews on to the property, where they treated her.
The four of them had attacked and killed the neighbour’s 10 year old jack russell. A council dog catcher arrived just before 8pm and captured one of the dogs about an hour later. She had four. Yep..four pit bulls..like a pride of lions. He then dropped this classic understatement
“Pit bulls are most affectionate dogs, but they have a tendency to snap, especially when in a pack,” the council officer said.
Understatement of the year. Yes… they do have a tendency to snap especially when in a pack and kill people and other dogs In fact they will turn on anything that’s still moving. People will still buy them and train them to kill. Makes it hard to feel sorry for them. Don’t jump in front of speeding buses, don’t go into lion cages, don’t front up to poisonous snakes and don’t buy pit bulls. Simple, isn’t it?

  • Couldn’t agree more. They are simply not suitable for pets, unless of course you like to bet on your “pets” ability to kill someone else’s “pet”.

  • Breeds of dogs, like breeds of other species are bred for selected characterisitcs.

    Pit Bulls were bred to be fighting killing machines for betting rings. They weren’t bred to be pets. Hugh Worth’s defence of them, like so many of his other statements, is risible on that count. Sure, if an owner wishes to keep such a dog, there may be no objection per se , in so far as they realise what it is they own and keep it restrained accordingly which includes muzzles.

    It is bad enough walking past some youf with a pit on a leash but unmuzzled without the prospect of facing them on the loose and unmuzzled.

    Their ugly physique matches their temperament.
