A problem can have more than one cause. A problem can also have more than one CURE.<br /><br />My position is to take action against BOTH the dog and the owner. While the dog is, technically, not responsible (as it is not sentient and has no rights) it clearly acted with volition and is/will use violence to meet its needs. In these cases, the dog must be euthanized or removed from circulation indefinitely.<br /><br />However, the above does NOT get the human owner off the hook. Here is a good rhetorical question: Who created the risk? No one is forced to adopt a Pit Bull (or any other dog). You OWN the dog, you OWN WHAT IT DOES. Your dog kills somebody? That is murder and YOU are the perp.

It will kill you later on in your life. Dog barking is like second-hand smoke. Dog bites are the initial start of the bodily harm, like lung cancer. Dogs and smoking are both not cool and ruin the lives of everyone else around them for the sake of the selfish only. Smoking does not improve concentration and well-being. It's just giving the brain more nicotine to give it a false sense of that. It's a hazardous addiction that can kill anybody and everybody around them if we're going old-fashioned cigarettes and cigars. There are "no smoking" signs and "no vaping" signs everywhere. There aren't any "no dogs allowed" signs everywhere.<br /><br />No leniency for ANYBODY with an annoying dog or a vicious dog, like no leniency for smokers in public areas due to the harm that both life choices cause for everybody else who does not care to participate in them.

The monster wouldn't...I think it is the owners. The monster wouldn't bark if they didn't let it. If I'm never hearing any of the small ones across the street, and that building is on the way to our IGA and library so I go through the parking lot any time from early morning to almost ten p.m., yet have never heard a barking dog, how is not the owners? If the dog Is barking, or attacking, or anything else, it's because the person who owns it allows it. As a kid, in the country, if you heard a dog bark, you checked it out. The odds were good it was an opossum, coyote, or fox in the henhouse. The dogs all around weren't problem barkers, they were working dogs, and family pets who took their jobs seriously. Not to mention, the houses were far enough apart that you rarely heard a neighbor's dog, unless you were visiting them. Most of those dogs didn't roam either, but they would come when called, often the St. Bernard down the road would walk me home, play with the little kids in the neighborhood, get a drink and go back to his place. We did have one who came in a few times, she was scared of thunder and would come to our door if her owner wasn't home. She didn't break in, my parents let her in and helped her stay calm. In town, I hear dogs barking because they're bored, on a chain, or because they're vicious. None of those are good reasons, and all of them are because of bad owners. I blame the people, because I've seen enough normal dogs, who only barked to alert their master to something honestly wrong. I can forgive the dog who lets an owner know a predator is attacking their livestock, it's what they're born to do. As long as the owner responds, it's quick and isn't nearly the problem that the constant braking of the dog on the chain, or left in the yard and ignored is. <br /><br />If a dog ever attacks off of it's own property it should be put down. If it's defending it's owner from a vicious dog, while on a leash, that's different. Dogs shouldn't be allowed to commit unproved attacks, that's a bad dog, a bad owner, and a seriously flawed system. Still. my shovel is at the ready, as is my big knife, if the monster gets out, I'll stop it. I would complain about the barking, but after hearing them throw firecrackers at the dog last year and laugh each time he yelped, and hearing about her hitting him upside the head with hiking boots, I don't want to imagine what else they would do to him. I do feel bad for him, as with any creature that undergoes abuse. I can't prove the abuse, and even if I could, he would be someone else's problem. He's been taught to be people aggressive, he's rumored to be animal aggressive, and he's been abused. Still we all know, he would be farmed out to a rescue to be adopted. That's not what I want for other people or the dog. I'd like to see him peacefully euthanized before he hurts someone and dies badly.

During the last attack it tore through a screen door and attacked a woman and her dog in her own house. You know what the police did? Held the dog for a 10 day rabies quarantine, then gave it back to the owners. No fine, no warnings, no nothing. <br /><br />This "it's not the dogs, it's the owners" nonsense is why nothing is done about these useless animals. You can't blame the dog because it's the owner's fault, but the owner didn't actually do anything so...nothing gets done. It's a frustrating, ridiculous paradox that everyone seems to willing accept and the reason dogs have become such a widespread problem.

It's ...I wish everywhere enforced such a thing. It's nice seeing well behaved, friendly but not pesty little dogs. It's great being able to talk to their owners, they take to my son, and tell him about their grandkids, or things they did when they were younger. It's as ideal as you can get, living so close to so many dogs. <br /><br />It's much better than the monster next door. The BIG abused pit bull that barks or snarls every chance it gets. Of course, it hasn't bitten anyone yet, and proving the abuse is impossible, because you only hear it, or about it. I don't hate the dog, I despise it's moronic owners. It's their fault he's mean, and they're the ones who let him bark and snarl. I wonder how much they'll leave him out back this summer? I don't want to be around to find out, the fence isn't strong enough to contain him. If he barks, I'll call the police, and be out there to record the abuse, then maybe, just maybe he'll be gone. If he gets out and goes after any of the innocent people around here, I'll do my part to make sure he's gone.

The problem that the host(s) has is that they only tolerate a VERY narrow range of viewpoints. Its a dog cult site that takes VERY polite issue with excessive barking.<br /><br />Their position appears to be that - dogs and their owners deserve their place on a pedestal, everyone must respect and defer to the expanded "rights" of Fido, no one may ever use force against a dog or their owner for any reason, ever etc... BUT excessive barking is a very polite no-no. It is an appeasement at all cost philosophy.<br /><br />Of course, I would call BS on all that. That approach is stupid and dangerous and serves no purpose but to further promote and enable the problem. Carefully measured uses of force by authorities (and others) in certain scenarios is perfectly legitimate and the only solution to any of these problems. <br /><br />Again, what would happen to YOU if you stood in the street screaming the same word over and over for hours? How about if you attacked passerby with a meat cleaver and tried to remove their arms, legs, and heads? You would be removed by authorities, that is what would happen. So, with that said, dangerous and nuisance animals need to be likewise removed.Animal Uncontrolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01353756918671252887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1547600777592832280.post-45381639812459913462015-03-04T08:14:27.103-08:002015-03-04T08:14:27.103-08:00That site is now a Facebook page.

I think the senior apartment complex across the street might be a great argument for it being how the little ones are trained from an early age. I've met about 20 of the pocket size dogs in the complex. None have barked, nor do I ever hear barking when walking by the building. all of them have been friendly, even to my 7 year old. We're talking shi tzus, chis, poodles, and poms. You can wallk through the whole area and never worry about stepping in a mess. It's like an oasis of older people and little dogs. Obviously that generation knows better than most of today's. I wish everywhere was like the senior apartments across the street. It would make for a much more peaceful world. Nice owners, very decent people, and great little dogs. I'm not usually a pocket size dog person, I prefer something quiet but a little bigger like a beagle, or a well trained, well mannered retriever. These people and their dogs are good neighbors, something I wouldn't have known was possible with mostly ankle biting breeds.
