Not to me directly, but to people close to me. Last year a pit bull attacked the family next door to my in-laws (we are good friends with this family). Dog came to their door step following one of the kids in the family he lived in, and when my friends opened the door to the doorbell the pitbull lunged in the house, snapped towards the baby and then proceeded to almost kill their cat. Cat is seriously fubar'ed now and lucky to be alive. Mouth doesn't work right. Poor thing. Anyway, animal control, police, blah blah pit bull is apparently taken away and put down.
Here it is 6+ months later, and the same pit bull is back and comes to the back yard of my friends and my in-laws. Attacks and nearly kills my friend's dog (they thought it was dead at first), and attacks the lady on the other side of my in-laws from my friend's house. That house has a police officer in it, and he shoots at the dog but misses. Dog keeps coming in and running out, they finally get it with pepper spray and it goes back across the street. Definitely same dog.
Freaking animal control is useless. Comes out 2 hours later, tells the people who were attacked that if he didn't see it it didn't happen and it's just hearsay (???).
Feh.
-
I'd be more worried about the police protection. ;D
-
I would think that the officer that shot at it could identify the dog. :dunno
Jerry?....
-
Pits are not fit to own by anyone. ;)

Time to drop a couple of poison steaks in that dog's yard.

WTF? There was a police officer there shooting and pepperspraying the dog and he still says that?
Or do you mean he denies that it's the same dog? Could be that he is covering that they let this dog off the hook after the first attack. Maybe the victims could sue the person who didn't put the pit down after the first attack. It would be better to claim it's not the same dog then.
-
Could be he doesn't want to confront a dangerous pit bull. He sure doesn't get paid enough for that.

Police officer wasn't there when animal control came out. I have high hopes that when the police officer and animal control meet, animal control will change their tune. He wasn't denying it was the same dog, he was saying on this attack, because he didn't see it, it was hearsay. *boggle* there's another animal with a puncture wound in it's neck, and people saying they were personally attacked.

This idea I like.
-
Or sponges soaked in tender loving care?
Sponges leave clear evidence without the need for an autopsy. A steak with some arsenic in it doesn't - who is going to pay for toxicology on a dog?
-
Eh, if they get another dog, and it is also dangerous, do it again. Even an idiot knows why their dog dies randomly after attacking some people.
-
Time to drop a couple of poison steaks in the animal control guy's fridge.
Fixed that for you.
Seriously, that guy sounds like he's wasting some of my oxygen.
-
You really never know. saint gave no info on why the dog wasn't put down. Could be anything from the thing being sold on a grey market to the owner being the mayor's golf buddy and they slid it out the back door while telling the animal control guy to keep quiet if he likes his job.

That is a typical response from Animal control. Part of it is from them not wanting to confront the dog, the other part is that they have no authority to really do anything. If they even get a sniff that there is an owner to the dog, they won't touch it.

I was talking more about the part where there was an attack on a dog and a human and there were human witnesses. WTF? That guy doesn't deserve to have a job if he's going to say crap like that.

Sure he did. He said the cop missed, right? >:D
-
yea seriously, it couldn't have been THAT far away

I think my first reaction to this scenario is kill the dog, whatever it takes, poison meat, gun shot or golf club to the head, whatever it takes, just kill him. He has picked humans as prey, so its time for the big dog house in the sky.
Then I would kick the owners *ss just to make me feel better.
