how come is always some pitbull involved in these child killings. you does hardly hear pothound randomly killing out children and it have pothound on every road and trace.

is it that the ppl who want aggressive dogs select for these breeds. are these breeds a red flag for bad/inconsiderate/demon-minded owners

Saw,the dog in question on the news. Well fed animal, but very poorly kept. But going by appearances and what I can tell from what I know and see, if that dog has even 0.0001% pitbull DNA in it I'd be surprised.

Saw the pic on today's papers, dog looking like a high bred pot hound, the kind that is well fed and taken care of but definitely not a pit. Ignore the media and their dog whistle, no pun intended

This dog looking more like an English Labrador mix, one of the friendliest and peaceful, sweetest breeds of work dogs out there. As usual there has to be much more to this story on the reported circumstances.

However the Guardian says "Deonath’s mixed breed dog (pitbull and pothound) which he calls Monster was tied in the yard while he was cleaning the yard."







Example of English Labrador:

[ruffneck_12]

yeah bmt the chonkyness of his trunk looks labrador-ish

My padna have two labs and they are both chonksters. You could feed them a lean diet and they will still be chonkibois

Whereas a pothound will always have the vagrant cuts even if u feed them stick of Golden Ray every day (Dont do this pls)
And a pitbull will have the Musculature even if you feed them a vegan diet (Dont do this pls)

[paid_influencer]

aside from owning a pitbull-pothound cross named "MONSTER", the owner seems really reasonable.

points from the express article-
owner is accepting responsibility (vs others cases where the owner disappear or worse yet blaming the child)
owner says the dog breed is dangerous and is urging others not to have these dogs in houses with children
owner says he can't guarantee the dog won't attack another child, so he wants somebody to take the dog or the state to put it down

basically the opposite of 'wrong and strong'. big man thing.

child got 42 stitches. hopefully the owner's condition is also appreciated by other owners. big man thing

So if this is a 'normal' dog then it lends to bigger questions as to if there are any specific 'dangerous dogs' per say of if any dog can be lethal given the right circumstances and therefore it's the onus of the owner to secure such dogs? After all a dog is still an animal no matter the breed. I have two pothounds who will rip up anyone who even pokes a finger through the fence so nobody comes in the yard unless they are tied.

The real question I have, is why were these children left in the care of someone who wasn't inclined to pay attention to them.

Small children that age, the amount of thing can happen to them. They could have just as,easily been kicking a ball and it go in the road and they run after it and get knocked down and dead. Who's fault would it be then? The ball? The car?

people (even those with children) have this idea you could watch children 100% of the time. it doh work so. you are human. you will get distracted. you will get tired. and is in them moments that the worst does happen. yea you could 'watch' the child around dangers but you will just end up 'watching' something bad happen.

like the grandfather in this case, he 'watching' the child until he have to fight the dog to stop the dog from killing out the child.

better planning is for parents to just blacklist households that have these type of dogs. don't rely of 'watching'.

I just curious, here, but what is your definition of "these types of dogs"? And what "types of dogs" you feel it safe to leave small children around unsupervised?


Imho, what we have is really management problem. Irresponsible owners, neglectful parents and care givers, and a serious lack of accountability and acceptance of responsibility for outcomes.

The Dog Control Act was fully proclaimed eight years ago.

But, there's a sense of nothing is being done driven by lack of resources to enforce the act.

That's the view of a Joint Select Committee of Parliament, which slammed the Regional Corporations for a lack of action.

Same could be applied for people found driving defective vehicles, or people with wayward adult offspring that have a penchant for criminal behavior.

If it's still on the loose it's a threat to human lives as well, police might be an option. Surprised no one noticed their dog on a leash missing

Pm me the location, I'll come get him.

The dog disappeared around 1am after about 1/2 hr of resting from his bloodbath. He must have gone back home.
Didn't pick it up on the cameras again on any motion capture. Never had such an incident by me, never see this animal before.

The few other dogs in the street like they have PTSD and hiding cuz none of them even picking up on my front gate cameras today. It was like a home invasion with a murder for them on what is usually a quiet street in the night except for the stray cats fighting. If I see it again I'll call the police, but I doubt they have time to respond to this unless it's a human getting attacked. Called the Borough Corporation this morning and they don't have any more service to catch dogs.

88sins I'll give you a msg if I see this animal again. I really hope not. He had a long leash.
