More Problems with Pit Bulls — And Their Owners

Remembering the encounter we had last December in Fort Greene Park with a pit bull, a reader sent in this harrowing tale: “A guy was walking down my block the other night with his pit bull–and the dog (while on the leash) attacked a cat that lives across the street and tore it to pieces in front of several witnesses,” she writes. “The police were called–arrived and did…nothing. They said unless it was a person nothing could be done.” That’s what we were told at the time as well. Seems crazy. What would someone be charged with for shooting a cat with a gun? Same thing, ain’t it?
“Any ass that has a dog like this deserves to be stereotyped, that is why they have a dog like this”
hear hear…billyboomer
And billyboomer steps up to the plate to once again fulfill our expectations of him- low as they already were.
why did the cops even bother to turn out if they can’t do anything? didn’t they know they were reporting to the scene of dog-on-cat crime? that strikes me as odd.
“What would someone be charged with for shooting a cat with a gun?”
The question is, what would someone be charged with for tracking down the dog that killed their cat and shooting the dog with a gun?
Bull shit, everyone knows what kind of owner has this kind of dog. Young and stupid and maybe african american or latino. So fucking what. Any ass that has a dog like this deserves to be stereotyped, that is why they have a dog like this. They fit the image that they want to portray, they deserve the comments and the stereotyping, that is the whole point. Same as a middle age white guy who drives a volvo and drinks lattes, stupid too.
Most pit bull owners (excluding rob) buy these dogs because they need to compensate for other anatomical inadequacies. We all know this.
It doesn’t really matter what kind of dog it was. Any owner who allows their dog to destroy or hurt another animal needs to be punished. This story is disturbing and the owner incredilby irresponsible, but many types of dogs have a high prey instinct, not just pit bulls.
and besides a pit killing a cat is like a cat killing a mouse. what’s the big deal it’s the cycle of life!! havent you ever watched tom and jerry!?!? jeez
(kidding.) honestly i have nothing to add to this discussion that hasnt been discussed a million times before whenever the issue of pitbulls come up.
