A black lab attacks boy and his Pitt bull

[fatdaddycool]

Here's the story. It happens more often then you think when people don't control their dogs or key their kids walk them.

Once again, this is all about ownership and proper education. There is nothing wrong with either dog, the lab should never have been being walked by a little girl.

If you are working in the front yard and good ole Rex is out front with you, he should be on a leash under your control at all times.
Do not use retractable leashes regardless of the size of your dog, they are not an effective tool to control your dog. If you're the one being attacked and you have a retractable leash on your dog, she will get hurt.

Once again, dogs are dogs. There is no such thing as an aggression gene. Their behavior is representative of their ownership.

My hope is not that everyone go and get a dog that scares them. It would be great if we could all just be educated enough to not blame a breed for our lack thereof.




Hope this helps,

I'm a firm believer that dogs are a pain in the ass. :0003

Yes it is. A Labrador retriever is most certainly a breed

Then you should have to have a license to own a dog, any dog, that can maim.

Siegfried and Roy were responsible Tiger owners. Where did they fail?

 

[fatdaddycool]

A pomeranian ate a baby, so you're advocating that you need a license?

The key words here are responsible and Tiger. Responsible is a loose term. I hear it a lot when discussing gun ownership. Responsible gun owners etc... there is no such thing as a responsible gun owner. If the get robbed or sell a weapon legally and it is used in a crime, are they stepping up and claiming responsibility? Does it mean they obeyed the laws and registered it and kept it away from young hands? What classifies them or anyone as "responsible"?
Conscientious maybe our even attentive but responsible? I hardly think so.

And a pomeranian never ate a baby. GMAFB :facepalm:

That story was never confirmed.

And you're the one that uses the word 'responsible' all the time.

2014 dog bite fatality statistics

42 U.S. dog bite-related fatalities occurred in 2014. Despite being regulated in Military Housing areas and over 700 U.S. cities, pit bulls contributed to 64% (27) of these deaths. Pit bulls make up about 6% of the total U.S. dog population.2
Together, pit bulls (27) and rottweilers (4), the second most lethal dog breed, accounted for 74% of the total recorded deaths in 2014. This same combination also accounted for 74% of all fatal attacks during the 10-year period of 2005 to 2014.

The breakdown between these two breeds is substantial over this 10-year period. From 2005 to 2014, pit bulls killed 203 Americans, about one citizen every 18 days, versus rottweilers, which killed 38, about one citizen every 96 days.
In the year of 2014, the combination of pit bulls (27), rottweilers (4) and mastiff-type guard dogs and war dogs (4) -- the types used to create "baiting" bull breeds and fighting breeds -- accounted for 83% (35) of all dog bite-related fatalities.

Annual data from 2014 shows that 48% (20) of the fatality victims were children 13-years and younger, and 52% (22) were adults, 20-years and older. Of the total adults killed by dogs in 2014, 73% (16) were ages 50-years and older.

Annual data shows that when combining all age groups, female victims (24) were greater in number than male victims (18). Amongst adults 50-years and older, females were excessively victims 81% (13), versus males 19% (3).

In 2014, 19% (8), of all dog bite fatality victims were either visiting or living temporarily with the dog's owner when the fatal attack occurred, down from 38% in 2013. Children 6-years and younger accounted for 88% (7) of these deaths.

57% (24) of all fatalities in 2014 involved more than one dog; 19% (8) involved a pack attack of four or more dogs; 31% (13) involved breeding on the dog owner's property either actively or in the recent past and 5% (2) involved tethered dogs.

Dog ownership information for 2014 shows that family dogs comprised 48% (20) of all fatal attack occurrences, 40% (17) of the attacks occurred off the dog owner's property, up from 22% in 2013, and 21% (9) resulted in criminal charges.

Texas led lethal dog attacks in 2014 with 7 deaths. 86% (6) were attributed to pit bulls and 43% resulted in felony charges, up from 0% in 2013. Florida followed with 5 deaths, North Carolina 4 deaths and Alabama and Ohio each with 3 deaths.

Jurisdictions in two states each incurred 2 dog bite fatalities in 2014 -- Bell County, Texas and Montgomery County, Ohio. Both attacks in Montgomery County occurred in the City of Dayton. No felony charges resulted from these 4 deadly attacks.4
