Why Not said…..”The plantocracy and business elites in BIM are big on pit bull ownership.”

You are sooo wrong on this one. Many lower income people own these dogs. Ask the vets you need to get your facts straight!

The dogs have tasted blood, isn’t there a protocol when this happens?

@Chris

It was a question posed.

On a point of correction….I do believe there was a death last years as a result of one of these attacks. Correct me if I am wrong. (elderly)

Hate and bigotry the number i killer in the world. as it spreads from generation to generation unleashing fear and condemnation upon those with whom it dislike or disagree usually by race color or creed or sexual orientation . the victims of the bigoted and hateful attacks are usually left psychological scared for life usually showing signs of resentment or even hatred towards their attackers resulting in a vicious cycle which breeds and contaminates society in order to break this repetitive cycle of hatred and bigotry and put an end to it we must show love ! compassionion and understanding towards your fellow man. What if it was you?

@BU Family…

It is interesting what one can do when one speaks the truth.

Lots of heat…

Lots of truth….

@Marlo ray

When accidents occur with man and machine aren’t procedures followed where laws are enforced? What happens when the pit bull tangles with man?

@BU.David: “What happens when the pit bull tangles with man?

The man punches the pit bull to death while the dog chews on his arm.

Easily done….

How about BAN DRUNK DRIVERS they killed more people in Bubbadus than pit Bulls

And after a few submissions this subject/concern will be relegated to “also ran’ until the next attack. Unfortunately ,none of the people who were recently attacked, appears to be closely connected to any Member of Parliament.

The fighting pit bulls are presumably kept in close confinement until they fight IF the socio economic class suggested of their owners is correct. Otherwise Islandgal is quite right – it’s a phenomenon observable daily and routinely. But yes, the standard approach is that if any dog bites and is likely to bite again, you put it down. I don’t think this applies if it bites the postman who enters the curtilage. Postmen are fair game for marauding chihuahuas..

I have owned several pit bulls and a more affectionate dog and excellent with children you could not hope to have. The problem with dogs does not lie in the dog itself, but with some of the owners. So instead of calling for the banning of the dogs, I say ban the damned owners. @Scout, I completely agree with you.

@ chris Hasall
At the same time, I believe there might have also been deaths caused by uninsured ZR drivers over the last ten years. Only God Knows for Sure….

Chalk n Cheese Q.E.D

The American Pit Bull Terrier is the product of interbreeding between old english terriers and english bulldogs to produce a dog that combined the gameness of the terrier with the strength and athleticism of the bulldog.[3] These dogs were initially bred in England and arrived in the United States with the founders. In the United States, these dogs were used as catch dogs for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt, to drive livestock, and as family companions.[3] Some have been selectively bred for their fighting prowess.[4][5] The United Kennel Club (UKC) was the first registry to recognize the American Pit Bull Terrier.[6] UKC founder C. Z. Bennett assigned UKC registration number 1 to his own dog, “Bennett’s Ring”, as an American Pit Bull Terrier in 1898.[3]

American Pit Bull Terriers successfully fill the role of companion dog, police dog[7][8] and therapy dog.[9] Terriers in general have a higher tendency towards dog aggression[10] and American Pit Bull Terriers constitute the majority of dogs used for illegal dog fighting in the United States.[11] In addition, law enforcement organizations report these dogs are used for other nefarious purposes, such as guarding illegal narcotics operations,[12][13] use against the police,[14] and as attack dogs.[15]

@onions

Anyhow i LOVE chihauhas they bark nuff but they dont bite!

The above video gives a good history and current affairs of the pitt bull in America today.

@Onions

All you need to do is copy the next five links as one comment.

I am amazed how far Bajans have “progress” away from simple solutions to vexing problems. When I lived in Barbados a dog could only menace me once; after that I would’ve -with quite determination – make sure it had its last meal.

guess what if that guy whose prized bull was killed by relentless and unconscientable people had a couple of pit bulls maybe his prize bull would have been alive today. it goes to the heart of a decaying society which leaves people with very few options when it cometo the protection of lives and property .

Here is the story that coincidently reported in the TT press today.

Pregnant Trinidadian woman mauled by dogs  36 year old Kurleen Cooper, who is 5 months pregnant, underwent emergency surgery yesterday to save her arm after she was mauled by three dogs two mixed with the pitbull breed in Trinidad .
She was walking home in Pt Fortin after taking her children to school when one of the dogs reportedly ran out from a house and charged at her. The two other dogs reportedly followed and leapt on Cooper and knocked her down.
The dogs reportedly tore the flesh off her left arm and bit her on the head, hands, inner leg, left ear and stomach.  She tried to fight them off and was rescued by a passerby and residents from the area.
She was taken to the San Fernando General Hospital . Her condition is listed as serious. The Trinidad Express Newspaper reports that she told doctors that she is not feeling the baby.
They checked and  reportedly said there was movement.

All what the article is saying that not everybody is responsible the dogs are not responsible for the attacks but the mindless numb skull owners whose failed in their responsibility to keep these dogs properly secured from the public. the owners should have to pay a a heavy fine or jail times coupled with having to pay any legal or medical fees the victims might have incurred as for the dogs the government should removed them forthwith from the owners due to lack of public safety demonstrated by the owners. this reckless behaviour and lack of well being brought about by these dog owners upon the victims should not be allowed.

Coming to an outlet near you! Don’t ban it, pan it!

How people could eat so much sh#te doa ? A dog……man you would have to be crazy…..Have you ever been around a dead dog’s blood…say one struck by a vehicle….the smell is nauseating….to consider culling a dog for food….I am squirming already…rather starve first. In India and Vietnam …they eat Rat….what -d- brassbowl ! ….Nasti uhh

We have so much to be thankful of……check this next video

Reminds one of Rwanda. Only this time its animals and not men , women, children and babies.
@ Old Onion Bags………Wasn’t there a thriving Roti business going great great guns in the ’70’s in the Lakes Folly area, and it was strongly believed that the rotis contain a bit of Bow Wow?
