"Why Breed Matters in Service Dogs and Why Pit Bull Service Dogs are a Bad Idea"
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3669707/posts
Except on Delta.
A fund for the dog that attacked someone bad enough he had to shoot it to get it to let go? Heck with that.
A better question is how is the guy’s ARM?
Why do the owners always try to name evil pit bulls with "cutesy" inappropriate names? Why not be honest and name them Mengele, Himmler, Hitler, or Manson?
Bandaged, if you wish to check the video. He also has some interesting tattoos, as does the dog owner. No word on whether they are still together. An interesting conundrum. I await the next segment.
Most likely for the same reason that the dogs are photographed with babies, baby toys, small children, baby blankets, hats, jewelry, and, - interestingly enough, lingerie. Which makes one wonder. One picture was of a pit bull with a pink brassiere advertising fundraising for breast cancer.
ANIMMAL WATCH-Any dog attack is alarming, painful and can cause lasting injury — whether it is by a Pit Bull or a Chihuahua—regardless of whether victims are merely knocked down or the animal sinks its teeth into their flesh. Plus, there are other victims in every attack—family members, witnesses, those who try to stop the attack, employers, and landlords or business owners on whose property the incident occurs.

There have been two reported attacks by dogs on airlines in the past year: In June 2017, a man was mauled by an emotional support dog on a Delta Air Lines flight in Atlanta. The severely disfigured victim claims he was attacked twice in the face and could not escape because he was in a window seat. And, in February 2018, a child was bitten on the face by an alleged service dog on a Southwest Airlines flight.
I recall an appeal case before the LA Animal Services a few years ago, where a Pit Bull given to a homeless veteran under a City program within a few days attacked a Golden Retriever lying under the chair of its owner at an outdoor eating area of a restaurant. The retriever sustained over $14,000 in veterinary bills;a food server and the owner were also injured trying to protect her pet. The homeless man, who had no insurance, claimed he needed the Pit Bull for emotional support and wanted it back, blaming the retriever for “barking at his dog.”
Federal and state laws force landlords to accept Emotional Support Animals (ESA’s) and make it impossible to identify “fake” service dogs they may believe to be high risk, even if they have a no-pet policy. They are restricted from making inquires about the alleged service dog’s history, purpose or training. Airlines, restaurants and other businesses are also mandated to allow service dogs, even in violation of some public health laws.
ESA’s and “fake” service dogs can be any breed, size or age and do not have special training to perform a specific task. They often do not have even basic obedience training or socialization. Real service dogs and assistance dogs go through a selection and training process that assures they have a docile temperament and are trained to never act aggressively, even if attacked.”
Yes, indeed.
Get a freakin' life Norski and leave the good people of FR alone. We don't want this Pit Bull bashing nonsense here.
Go over to DU where you belong.
When I took my most recent flight, I saw multiple "service dogs" in airports that were obvious fakes wearing a vest from Amazon. When that chihuahua yaps at everyone passing, you know it's a fake.
This is not entirely true, but I found it amusing.
Snack Size Service Dog.
I’d shoot a pit bull attacking me, no question about it.
Your wasting your breath on the cynophobic mafia.
Pitbullfacts.org.
What about the irresponsible owner?
So, will shirts and shoes continue to be required for people in supermarkets, restaurants and on commercial aircraft?
Having been the victim of an unprovoked pit bull attack, I completely fear them. No other breed has ever done that to me.
Hey, any event can be monetized.
In the context of the situation presented by the posted link to the article,...
Firing a round into a pit bull that is attached to a victim would be risky. A round can ricochet off of a bone and go into the victim or a bystander—especially something very light, slow moving and round nosed without much expected diameter from expansion, like a common .22 LR.
But in some situations, that will be the victim’s only hope. Because the head of the animal may be too close to or even in front of the victim, somewhere further back on the spine might work (in a direction away from the victim and everyone), or maybe the upper middle thorax or near the underside of the spine (preferably with a bullet likely to expand at least to six-tenths of an inch).
If you take the risk, make sure that there is no one else behind the target from your pointing perspective. For carry for protection in, say, a 9mm, I would probably opt for a bullet of 115 grains or less. It will still likely overpenetrate, though, if it isn’t stopped by something like a bone.
Mainly, you need a light bullet that will expand as much as possible. I’m haven’t looked into frangible bullets, because those probably wouldn’t work well for defense at any greater distance than point blank. I’m guessing that a frangible won’t be as likely to break a bone when needed.
I’ll look into anatomical targets for knives for self-defense situations, when time allows. You can probably learn quite a bit about that for yourself by studying dog anatomy. A major artery should work well, for one example of a target.
Whether a bullet or a knife, by the way, a sudden blood pressure drop will bring unconsciousness to an animal. That’s what happens when a bullet with enough diameter or expansion to the upper middle thorax of an animal usually does the job.
