FL Anger Counselor Allegedly Set Pit Bulls On Flood Victims
New Media Producer: Kerry Corum
Police say a Florida man, whose job is to help people, deliberately ordered his pit bulls to attack hurricane refugees inside their office building.
Ryan Moore is a mental health counselor who treats anger management problems and addictions. He was arrested Monday and charged with aggravated battery.
Police say he released his dogs with the command "go get them" while he and the others were riding out Hurricane Frances earlier this month.
One man suffered deep bites to his stomach, face, throat and hands. A woman was bitten on one leg. They called 911, but police couldn't respond because of the storm.
This isn't Moore's first brush with the law. He's been arrested before for domestic violence, sexual assault and aggravated assault with a weapon.

Am I the only one who has noticed that the majority of mental health professionals are unbalanced, and the majority of social service providers are only a hair away from being in need of their own services?
Sexual assault priors, and working with people with sexual problems, who, in all likelihood, wouldn't know how to (or be psychologically able to) protect themselves from his predations, or even know that they should.
I need to start an "Only in Florida" ping list...
Some folks just need killin'.
Heartwarming story.
Well, if the dogs have been trained to attack like that, there is only one way to stop them from doing it again. It is unfortunate, but we cant tolerate dogs that attack for no good reason. I had some bite me before and that was the last thing they ever did. In this case, I think they need to lock the owner away in the padded party cell. I just dont understand them treating them at the vets. I mean, come on, just kill it and get it over with. Obviously those folks didnt grow up on a farm.

Where I live large, friendly dogs run all the time. They include a rotweiler, several labs, a golden, and others. Vicious dogs, on the other hand, that are allowed to run "disappear" rather quickly.
