Cox said about a dozen dogs went after Williams' three children....
No one needs to own a dozen dogs, outside of niche cases like service dog training programs. Certainly no one should have a dozen "pet" dogs. Clearly an irresponsible owner situation.
Afaik the max here is 6, if you have more, you need to be registered.
Anyways this incident must be the responsibility of the owner, he has not secured his dogs properly. Obviously they all need to be put down, and the owner should be tried for manslaughter IMO. What the law says however IDK.
Maybe some sort of causing death through negligence.
Edit: just looked it up, the max is 4 adult dogs. More is considered a kennel and requires permission. (Denmark)
It's such a shame that these could have been perfectly fine dogs if they had been properly cared for.
a) quite possibly true
could have been perfectly fine ____ if properly cared for b) This sentence could describe so many things.
Someone better be going away for manslaughter.
Officials did not say which breed of dog
If it was a pack of teacup chihuahuas that would be gnar.
Oh no, not golden retrievers again /s
I have a golden and she's awesome and gentle. That said, I had heard because there's so many goldens, they are the number one dog for total number of dog bites on children. I guess even a golden has their limits and a kid can find that limit unerringly.
This is why per capita stats exist.
We all need to agree that pits are at the very least a very advance dog for an owner, they need extra care and training. They should never be dogs just anyone can get.
My friends that are pit owners are always freaking out about how the breed is stigmatized.
I don't personally have a problem with pits, but yo: an aggressive pit is a far bigger problem than some terrier. There are some awful dog owners out there; a fact reinforced by the heaps of dog shit I see on the sidewalk outside of my job. Those same people are supposedly training a powerfully bred canine to not be an asshole by checks notes being neglectful. Cool
People get mad if you don't like dogs, but you never read stories about people getting mauled by cats.
Not domesticated cats, anyway.
Hear about the biguns' mauling people all the time.
That's because they kill in different ways. Cats are more like Rogues - you get a scratch one day and then later you're dying a slow painful death of Cat Scratch Fever, or silently end your pregnancy with Toxoplasmosis.
Dogs on the other hand are more like Barbarians, they just brute force your death in person as fast as they can.
Edit: Parrots are Bards. That is all I will say.
No, parrots are BIRDS. Honest mistake.
/s
I know someone mauled by a cat and was there when it happened. It was quite dramatic. My friend had an old lady cat who was an absolute bitch, she was an interesting character if she liked you, would usually hiss and hide if she didn't. Friend brought home his girlfriend, cat got jealous and attacked her while they (the couple ) were naked in bed. She was quite torn up, and I was in another room when it happened, was hearing loud music then suddenly screeching then screaming then this naked bloody woman comes running out of the bedroom.
So now you have at least one story.
I will say I am a cat person with dogs, much more than a dog person, but if housecats were as big as dogs, they would be more dangerous than dogs.
I bet Kristi Noem wouldn't have stood for this.
YOU SEE!? YOU SEEEEEE?!
-Kristi Noem
There were 12 of these angry dogs, though. Not one trusting dog in a cinder pit. I don't know if Noem would have been able to handle it even with a gun.
Dog owning is a serious responsibility that people are wildly reckless with.
It's past time for the state to step in. The supply of dogs needs to be controlled, with all animals not intended for breeding being spade or neutered before being adopted.
The breeds of the dogs weren't specified according to this article.
What a terrible way to go.
