To dog lovers: Why would you own a dangerous attack dog breed?

[Cricket Warrior]

never been bitten but yeah chased by many dogs specially whenever I go early to take breakfast from the market.

I don't know why late night or early morning dogs become so anti human.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Chased many times as a youngster but thankfully never bitten.

I used to be scared of dogs but have learned to appreciate their love and devotion.

My own kids consider the neighbours dog their dog and it is always around our property but I don't allow it in certain rooms.

I was once attacked by a few dogs at a local park (around 10 years ago).

I was sitting at a public park. One mid-aged couple came to the park without having their dogs on leashes. The dogs saw me and started to bark at me. I felt threatened; I panicked and started to run. The dogs started to come after me. The dogs weren't very big and I wasn't harmed. Anyway, owners came to the rescue and put the dogs on leashes.

The owners probably broke a law as the dogs were not on leashes. In public parks (here in Toronto), dogs need to be on leashes in public parks by law.

Have you ever experienced a dog attack before?

I hope you realise that in a similar situation, its best to stay as you are and its just a natural reaction of dogs. Your mistake was running away as that would have startled the dogs as well. Easy to say I know but I don't think the middle aged couple would be letting the dogs loose if they posed a threat to the public.

By local law, those dogs needed to be on leashes. It doesn't matter whether they pose a threat or not. They could've been fined.

Anyway, I didn't make a big deal out of it. I went home after owners applied leashes.

In my city, having a dog without a leash at a public park could result in a $365 fine.

Reference: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/public-notices-bylaws/bylaw-enforcement/dogs-off-leash/#:~:text=A fine of up to,designated dogs off-leash area..

A fine of up to $365 can be issued for allowing a dog to run off-leash except in a designated dogs off-leash area. The charge is $300, plus a $60 victim’s surcharge, and a $5 administration fee.

I had kept them as pets in the past, they never bite you just do a bit niggle but hardly make a strong bite unless they feel threatened.

Thanks for posting the link for the local law, I'll have a look later but my point wasn't about that, it was about mitigating the situation at hand given said dogs were not controlled as per the law.

@sweep_shot Perhaps the park you were in was a designated off-leash area having looked at that link?

No. That area was not off-leash zone. I used to go there regularly.

One time while jogging in my neighborhood, I found myself surrounded by three German Shepherds. Well not surrounded but they were walking around me and sniffing my shoes. Given that there are many dogs in my area, I'm accustomed to their presence, but such an encounter still sends shivers down your spine. What made it worse was that the dogs were being walked without leashes by their owners, which is extremely irresponsible even if the dog is 'well trained'. My mom got attacked by one but she didn't get hurt to my knowledge.

Another incident involved a Golden Retriever playfully jumping at me. A little girl was struggling to control the dog. It eventually left me alone to chase after a passing car.

As for Pitbulls and Bulldogs, they're the only breeds I consciously try to avoid; they just give me the creeps.

Imagine Andrew Tate reading all these posts man, “oh, I change directions”, “oh they’re so scary”.

Grow up, be a man. How are you protecting the women in your household when you’re running away from a chihuahua.

 

[pillionrider]

In my school days many of us were chased and slapped by monkeys.

You can't just post that and not give us details.

Hahaha wth

 

[pillionrider]

I treat dogs with disdain. One of my aims is to taste dog meat.

I like dogs. I have two. But dog lovers also need to maintain perspective on how dogs can also be vile nasty creatures. Just watch what happens to a female dog when she is in heat, particularly if she's caught in an open area or empty site. Try riding a bike at night through a street dog-infested area. Allow a single dog/pack of dogs (street or pedigree) to be alone with a small stranger child and see what happens.

I have eaten dog meat, unofficially though. In Jayanagar, there were these amazing sheek kabab stalls. They claimed it was beef or mutton. But someone once told me that it wasn't a coincidence that the stalls were flourishing in an area with a massive number of street dogs. Didn't stop me from savoring those kababs, though while chomping on some, I'd look at a street dog with its doe eyes standing next to me hoping for a bite and think, so you wanna be a cannibal huh? Stopped going there when I grew older and had gotten corrupted by things like hygiene standards.

It happened to me around 10 years ago when I was driving a car with my driving seat window open , a black dog with horrible bark start barking and chasing my car , I didn't paid much attention thinking that I am safe inside the car while driving at 20Kph as I was in close lane but that dog tried to jump in to the car through open window but failed to do so and that thing made me panic and then I tried to push past him by hitting the accelerator while simultaneously trying to shut off the window , he then started running crazily and following the car and jumped once again at the nearly half closed window , Thankfully the car speed was too quick for him.

Dog is one of the creatures I don't wanna go near to. They cannot be trusted.

Pakistan ‘reports’ over 5641 dog-bite cases in one week

A staggering 5,641 dog-bite cases have been reported across Pakistan in just one week, ARY News reported citing National Institute of Health (NIH) sources.

According to sources, Punjab topped the list with 3,264 cases, followed by Sindh with 1,601 cases.

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa reported 615 cases, while Balochistan saw 80 cases. Meanwhile, 75 cases were reported in Azad Kashmir and 6 in Gilgit-Baltistan, sources added.

Last month, a shocking increase was reported in the number of dog bite cases as 7,957 cases were reported in one week across Pakistan.

In a significant development, the Dow University of Health Sciences (DUHS) in Karachi launched its own anti-rabies vaccine (ARV), namely DowRab, for the dog bites victims in Sindh.

The reports indicated that around one million individuals in Pakistan are bitten by stray dogs every year, leading to an estimated 5,000 to 6,000 deaths from rabies.

According to the National Institute of Health (NIH) in Islamabad, the country needs over 2 million doses of anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) on an annual basis, with a significant portion being imported from India.

Currently, Pakistan is grappling with a critical shortage of anti-rabies vaccine (ARV) attributed to pricing disputes.

Dog owners are also affected by the same inflation so it's unfair for them to face the situation and still get bitten by their dogs lol

Esther Martin: Man charged after grandmother killed by XL bully dogs

A man has been charged after the death of a grandmother who suffered fatal injuries in an attack by two XL bully dogs.

Esther Martin, 68, died after she was attacked by two dogs in Jaywick, Essex, in February.

Ashley Warren, 40, of Leyton, east London, has been charged with two counts of owning or being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control causing injury resulting in death, Essex Police said.

The force said he was also charged with two counts of possession or having custody of a fighting dog, two offences under the Animal Welfare Act, possession of a bladed article, and possession of a Class B drug.

It is the first case of its kind since new laws on owning XL bullys came into force on 1 February, according to Essex Police.

Ms Martin, from Woodford Green in London, was visiting her 11-year-old grandson at the time she was attacked by the dogs.

Coroner's officer Andy Flack said in February Ms Martin was "unresponsive" after the attack and that "her injuries were unsurvivable".

Maybe aggressive stray dogs should be humanely put down to protect humans and other animals.

ANF’s sniffer dog mistakenly shot dead at Karachi airport
According to a Pakistan Civil Aviation Authority (PCCA) spokesperson, the airside team tried to capture the dog but was forced to shoot it to prevent any potential harm as it was posing a risk to aircraft operations.

The spokesperson said that the airside team after receiving directives from the control tower tried to capture the dog in the bay area (a designated area on the airport apron where planes are parked) but to no avail.

“The team was forced to shoot down the dog to stop it from running towards the taxiway and runway,” the spokesperson added.

He said that further investigation into the matter is underway.

Earlier, it was reported that the ANF’s sniffer dog was shot by an airport shooter, who mistook it for a stray dog.

According to sources, the ANF’s sniffer dog was present in the apron area when the shooter opened fire, killing the dog. The sources said that the dog of ANF was at the parking bay number 25 of the aircraft, at that time the plane of Etihad Airways was being parked.

Man killed by his XL bully - as police shoot dog to prevent risk to other people

A man has been killed by his own XL bully in Accrington, police have said.

David Daintree, 53, was found dead shortly before 9.30pm yesterday in his home.

Police said they had "no alternative" but to shoot the dog dead.

Lancashire Police said they had to kill the XL bully in order to prevent further harm to more people.

Supt Marie Jackson said: "This is a tragic incident which has sadly resulted in a man losing his life and my thoughts are with his loved ones at this time.

"An investigation into the circumstances is ongoing and I would appeal to anyone with any information to get in touch.

"We will have extra officers out and about in the area carrying out enquiries and I would urge anyone with information or concerns to speak to them."

From 1 February, it became a criminal offence to own the XL bully breed in England and Wales without an exemption certificate.

Anyone who owns one of the dogs must have had the animal neutered, have it microchipped and keep it muzzled and on a lead in public, among other restrictions.

The government's move to ban XL bullys followed a series of attacks on people.

Also full black color dog breads are also not good as pets. Alsation, German Shepherd etc are the best ones for safety purposes.

Australian woman's arm bitten off in dog attack

An Australian woman is fighting for life in hospital after her arm was bitten off by her own dog in north Queensland.

Emergency services were called to a house in the coastal city of Townsville around 07:00 local time (22:00 BST) on Friday, where a 34-year-old woman had sustained "life-threatening" injuries.

Her right arm had been severed below the elbow, but the detached part was retrieved by paramedics before she was rushed to a local hospital. She is in a serious but stable condition.

Police say they had "no other option" but to shoot the dog dead at the scene.

In a press conference, Senior Sgt Scott Warrick said police had arrived to find the woman bleeding heavily outside the house and the dog, believed to be a pit bull, inside.

"It was very angry, very aggressive... [it] was still trying to get outside."

Some officers barricaded the house while others applied a makeshift tourniquet to the woman's arm and gave first aid until paramedics arrived.

"I've been a police officer for 37 years... this is the first time I've gone to such a serious injury as a result of a dog attack.

"The injuries to this lady are just absolutely awful and we wish her a speedy recovery," Sgt Warrick told reporters.

He added that the dog was euthanised on the advice of animal control officers.

"I have dogs, and to see an outcome like this is absolutely heartbreaking, and we do understand people will be upset... but we were left with no other choice."

A second smaller dog was found uninjured at the scene and is being cared for by the RSPCA.

Two neighbours told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation the dog involved in the incident was known for being aggressive - with one showing them scars where he said it had previously attacked him.

Sgt Warrick said police may have been contacted about the dog before, but added that his team, the RSPCA and local council are all still looking into the specifics.

It comes a day after another attack in a Melbourne backyard, where a woman was critically injured and the three dogs responsible shot dead by police.

Local media have reported that two of the dogs were bulldogs and the third was a pit bull.
