Came to you thru Rachel Lucas. Sweet Jesus, your poor sister and family. She's one brave lady to fight them off like that. I hope those Pit Bulls were euthanized immediately!

My gods!

Personally, I'd euthanize those dogs...and then the owner AND that dim bim who let them get loose would be up on charges of...hmmm, let me see...mayhem, assault with intent to commit great bodily injury, attempted murder, cruelty to animals (the cat), and everything else I could think of!

Maybe seeing a few idiots going away for many, many years would make the rest of the dimwits think twice. The gods know that reasoning with them doesn't!

I'm so sorry to hear your sister had to go through that.

I really hope Rachel decides to get the cops involved in her first incident, rather than wait for it to happen again.

I got attacked a couple of years ago. It was my choice to put myself between the dog in my care and the attacking dog, and got my hands chewed for my trouble. Actually, it was worth it because I was protecting 'my' dog from getting in trouble for ripping the attacker to shreds - which she would have done in self- and master- defence.

Stupidly, I told the police not to press charges or go after the other dog because the owners were apologetic, promised to keep the dog leashed, and they were neighbours of 'my' dog's owners who didn't want to create a scene - which I was OK with.

The sad end result was that the maladjusted dog was not properly restrained, and in the end 'my' dog was involved in a (self-protective) attack and had to be put down. I could have saved Java if I'd held the first owners and dog responsible. I will never forgive myself for contributing to Java's death.

I can't imagine how Rachel would feel if the "next" attack she reports is the death of a child. It's been pretty clearly proven these animals can't be given second chances - the potential consequences are just too horrible.

De, I've said it before and I'll say it again. These dogs need to be euthanized and banned nationwide. Owners need to be fined and jailed.

Yes, I know they aren't responsible for all the dog bites that happen but they are responsible for the kind of attacks that kill people and/or maim them for life -- it is a breed that appears to be completely unpredictable (fine and sweet one minute and then leaping a 6ft fence the next). I feel so badly for your sister and what she has gone through and will be going through for the rest of her life.

I am totally anti-Pit and will not apologize to anyone for it. No one will be able to change my mind on this. I can kick off a cocker that starts nipping at my legs (and I'd be happy to do so), but Pits are a totally different kettle of fish. I could rant forever. I really can't stand these dogs or their owners. :(

I am a lover of amimals, however after reading and hearing about the morbid and brutal killings of numerous people, children, babies and other animals by pit bulls in the later years, I decided to do some research.

To put it simply, pit bulls have a split personality, inbred, rooted and ingrained in them. They WILL attack even those who love them, without reason.

Yesterday, my sweet lovable, fat black kitty, sitting in my front yard was attacked and killed
by two pit bulls within seconds of going into my house to get a glass of milk. I live in a secluded area and have for 30 years, and my animals have never been in danger.

Two weeks ago the same pit bulls walked right into my house and into my living room toward one of my absolutely adorable Himalayan cats Boo Boo, (I also have her brother Yogi) who was sitting on the sofa. I turned around from what I was doing and Yelled "NO" and they ran, but later they tried to return. I told them to "GET", (I have a very strong voice) and they left. I Didn't see them again till yesterday July 22, 2007. A week ago they killed a dog a couple of blocks away.

They are smart though, because the animal control cannot seem to find them, which means, they WILL
be back.

Pit bulls should be either banned or licenced in every city and state. They are VERY dangerous and those who choose to let them live among themselves and their children, are in GRAVE DANGER.

I pray for everyone who owns these demon inbred animals, that their children and themselves are not malled to death and eaten alive like so many others who also loved and adored their sweet and
loveable doggy.

If you love yourself and your children, you would NOT own one, nor let them come near you. They
should be banned, and breeders of pitbulls should be fined and imprisoned for every life their
creation destroys.

Click on the links below. I'm sure you will find it interesting the statistics on pit bull killings, verses all other dog killings. Half of the killings are done by pit bulls, mostly children, and half of those were attacks on the owners.

Sarah, I'm sorry to hear about your poor kitty. :(

These dogs and especially their owners are a problem that MUST be addressed.

First of all De, thank you so much for for your concern.

Next,
Yesterday the animal control gave me an address to see if I could identify the two pits that killed my cat. I drove over to the address given, went into the back alley and I was saddened through and through. These two Brendil pits encaged in a pen not much bigger than their bodies. One in one part of the cage in a cage, the other in another. I was appaled. I stopped my car in front of the cage and asked the pit in front, "Do you remember me"? I looked at him in his eyes, and they were very, very sad.

There is something I always do with my cats and that is make eyes at them, which means I look them in the eye and close my eyes slowly, then again. They always make eyes back, that is a sign of love and trust. The pit did the same. I cannot believe the animal control said these were family pits, but obviously they don't know animals as well as they think. These were breeding pits, and these breeders need to be fined and jailed. I don't believe any animal should live outside, they need a home with loving care, but to live under these conditions, I would rather be dead, and I can assure you, so would they.

No it's not the pit bulls fault. It's the breeders and every breeder knows the consquences of their actions. They know the multitudes of maulings, maimings and deaths of innocent people, yet they continue to breed the pit. They know that out of each litter born, that a minuet few are going to get into the right hands. And the way the world is today, it's only going to get worse, not better.

Banning is the only solution. You'll not help the pit if you don't ban the breeders. A ban doesn't mean kill the pit, it means not to allow any more be born, and those who already have them must register them. Registration of the dog involves having a microchip implanted under the dog's skin, spayed/nutured, a tattoo applied to its leg, an up-to-date photograph of the dog as well as a $50,000 liability insurance policy. It would also require a cement floor and a roof on the top. A HOME is what they need. They are no different than us. Even death row affords a bed with a mattress in their room.

If this law were already in effect, I could find these pits, and live again in peace. Oh yes, I could not make a 100% identification. Maybe it was them, maybe not. I couldn't see their entire bodies because they were laying on their sides. I took a good long look at them though, and if it is them I will know next time, when they come back. Then I will hold the owners responsible.

We need laws not only for the pit, but for every animal deprived of a good home life with their loved ones. Cages should only be used for exercise, and fun. The head of Springfield Mo, human society said to me one time, "there is an amazingly amount of people who own animals simply to have something to control. They will get a dog and either chain them outside, or leave them to live their lives in a caged yard. These animals lose their spirit and ability to learn. Then their children see the way their parents raise animals and follow suit. It's become an epidemic, and it's enough to break any animal lovers heart."
