Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Officer Shoots Dog at Boy's Birthday Party

Yeah, opinions are like bum holes...I have worked with and owned animals for the majority of my life as well (who cares), and I reckon the owner should have had the sense to not let his mongrels roam.

If so then you should know labs tendencies. No way in hell he should have shot that dog. No way

Indeed I do, there are two of them not one hundred yards away from me as I type, they are in the yard at the corner house and are the biggest, fattest, most vicious black bastards that have ever drawn breath...and the only reason they are still drawing breath is they cannot get over the fence to maul the kids and adults walking by on their way to the local school.
I have dealt with pits, healers, rotties , shepherds, mongrels, Dobermans...and nothing I have seen are as nasty as those two, and the first time I see them out I am going to kill them.

BS labs aren't viscous, just as I thought you are clueless

Well good for you, not only do you know it all...your vision is good enough to see several thousand miles.

...and you managed to do so in the dark!

A Pennsylvania child is recovering today after being attacked by a black lab in Bucks County. Although the attack took place several days ago, 15-month-old John Heller was re-admitted to the hospital Tuesday night after his cuts became infected.

The child was playing with his mother in James Memorial Park when a stray dog, described as a black lab or black lab mix, emerged from the nearby woods and began to bite the young boy. The dog finally released its grip after being kicked by the fiance' of the child's mother.

The boy is expected to be released from the hospital Thursday, however, he must now undergo a series of rabies shots. His mother has stated that the child may also need plastic surgery depending on how his wounds heal.

Despite a neighborhood canvas, police have not been able to locate the dog. Officials are asking for anyone with information on the animal or its owner to please contact the Pennridge police department at 215-257-5104.

Animal advocates have pointed to this recent incident as proof that any dog, regardless of breed, can pose a risk if not properly trained and supervised. While fringe groups comprised of supporters of breed specific legislation have been quite vocal in espousing the statistically incorrect belief that pit bull type dogs are more likely than other breeds to display aggression toward humans, a series of recent attacks involving other breeds has reinforced the stance held by most animal welfare and veterinary organizations that any breed is capable of biting when human negligence factors into the equation.

Several husky breed dogs have made headlines in recent months for preventable attacks on children, including two fatalities which involved unmonitored huskies being left alone with infants. In July, two-year-old Lucy Harris received numerous stitches after being attacked by a Labrador collie whose owner had accidentally allowed the dog to escape from her home. Fifteen-month-old Liana Lindsey suffered numerous bite wounds to the face after being mauled by an unsupervised seven pound Yorkshire terrier in August. Just this Monday, six-year-old Cheyenne Weastell of Britain was hospitalized after being attacked by a loose dog described to be a shepherd mix.

Although science proves that the majority of dogs are non-aggressive and extremely loyal to humans, research suggests that a host of factors can cause an animal to bite. Results from a recent Australian study showed that unaltered dogs are three times more likely to bite a human than an animal that is spayed or neutered. The same study found that chained dogs are three times more likely to bite than unchained dogs. After reviewing data from reported bite cases, researchers concluded that the majority of these dog bites could be prevented by better training and adult supervision of children with dogs.

While the recent incident involving John Heller shows no fault whatsoever on his guardian's end, the fact that black labs do not commonly live in the wild suggests that the attacking dog did belong to a human at one time. Any persons with information on the individual who was responsible for the animal are encouraged to contact the Pennridge police department.

Here you go, one in your neck of the woods...but it cannot really have happened as you know better.


...don't you.

And I am not your friend, you don't make the grade.

The child was playing with his mother in James Memorial Park when a stray dog, described as a black lab or black lab mix, emerged from the nearby woods and began to bite the young boy. The dog finally released its grip after being kicked by the fiance' of the child's mother.

And neither that or any other of the news clippings on the internet have any bearing on the fact that the dogs up the road are vicious.
But you go right on in your belief that they aren't.

I didn't say they were or were not viscous you are now putting words in my mouth.

BS labs aren't viscous, just as I thought you are clueless

No...YOU did that.




And by stating that you called me a liar, and have done so without ever having seen the dogs yourself.


Good on yah!

That cop knows nothing about dogs or how to interact with them
