Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Update on Pit Bull Attack from July

Poor kid will never fully recover, the dogs scalped her, she has severe nerve damage. Physically and mentally she will deal with this for the rest of her life.

The owners of the dogs should be liable for every cent Joslyn needs for therapy and related medical cost for the rest of their miserable lives. They should also have to compensate her for suffrage and loss of income as she gets older. They refuse to pay, then lock them up charged with attempted murder.

Good news indeed.

I'm glad the girl will survive and hopefully recover well. At least the neighbor called 911. I don't know if the neighbor did anything else to help or not.

I have a plan if something like that would happen here, not sure if it would work, but at least have a plan to react.

1-pull edc.
2-place it on dogs chest (assuming it wont let go of victim) like you would a boar.
3-pull trigger.

if for some odd reason without the edc...use pocket knife and apply the same tactic.

Without a plan, I think most will just kick and scream.

There is a serious problem with your plan. Almost everybody that keeps these killers has not enough money to pay their utility bill. And the law doesn't provide for murder or attempted murder charges for what their worse than worthless monster does. There are criminal and civil actions that can be taken but broke ass people basically are home free. They don't pay for anything. They don't carry liability insurance. These dogs need to be shot on sight. Don't call the police and don't give statements when they do show up.

Surprised that there hasn't been the usual avalanche of posts exonerating the damned dogs and saying that they were raised wrong.

Oh I know, but that's what should happen,,, the owners couldn't care less I'm sure. That's part of the cultural cancer our country is being ruined by. Lack of responsability and lack of accountability.

I'm glad that she survived. At this age, hopefully the nerves will heal too.

I wonder why the owner did not intervene while the dogs first began to attack??? Thirty seconds is a lot of time and damage. I can't imagine however much time for the deputy to show.

This sort of thing is why I don't wait for the police to do something. This little girl's neighbors should have cured this problem before the attack ever occurred. I have a good friend almost 70 years old over in Borger Texas that lives in his childhood home in a neighborhood that has gone to seed. He had a free range big pit bull come over and attempt to attack his watch dog through the fence. I'm not sure what caliber or brand air rifle he used but one shot in the lungs and old Bowser went home and passed away. No noise and no explanation.

She/it had no business owning pit bulls. None.

As I recall, you and I use the same pit bull “re-training, rehabilitation” program .

I’ve not had any pit bull students come by for re-education in quite a while now.

Right. I haven't had any lately either. Cameras are out year round.

Agree, especially the “shot on sight.”
