Some of these pit bull type dogs look pretty vicious.

Just got back from Daytona buying (yet) another Interceptor and while I was standing in the seller's driveway chatting with him, his neighbor walks by across the street......



Back home with bike now - look for new thread soon.....

That doesn't so very logical to me. .

OK, a valid point. Bad analogy on my part.

That said, if someone or their dog is doing me harm the justice needs to be served to the level that is appropriate. If there is damage, it needs to be replaced. If there is injury then medical bills, missed work days need to be reimbursed. If there is emotional damage done (think child that is hurt and now will not go outside for any reason) there is a valid reason to make a claim beyond the cost of stuff.

I would say that in most cases, the dog owner didn't take appropriate measures to prevent the attack. I had a friend who loved his dogs but one of them became prone to biting people and he told me that he didn't want me to come into the house (as I had for years) because of the danger. He did his due diligence to protect me from the dog. If he let the dog run loose and it bit a neighbor then he is certainly would have been responsible and would have to deal with the consequences.

I will venture to say that if the owner takes the appropriate attitude and response then 99% of the the there will be no lawsuit. If the owner doesn't do proper precautions or cops an attitude then they need to be paying.

Must be something wrong with every single gun I ever had, and every single pit bullI ever saw. Guns never shot anyone, dogs never bit anyone.

Astonishing that anyone could compare an inanimate object to a living creature with a will of its own.

I'm going out on a limb here and guessing the meaning of this statement to be: None of my guns ever were used to shoot anyone. None of the dogs I have ever seen have bit someone.

An admittedly small statically sample, but valid in the experience of the poster.

Hundreds and hundreds of pit bulls.

The dog bites you hear about have a lot in common with the gun violence you read about, way more than you ever get certain folks to understand.

Have to admit, I always find these threads amusing, always.

Would you leave your 2 year old grandson alone with a pit bull?

I wouldn't leave any infant alone with "a" (insert breed here).

If it was "my" (insert breed here) - then sure.

The problem is the human - not the breed......

I really wish I had been carrying a lead pipe....would have been done quickly.

You would have been there a long time, assuming you didn't die. Their skulls are like concrete and they don't feel pain. How did you get it off?

^^^ I would have been swinging for the body first...the head was attached to my ankle. A heavy pipe to the body would have sent him squealing.

The daughter came over (at a slow jog) yelling "Buddy...let go". When she was close, he released.

Lucky you- a good owner.
