Florida Cop executes family dog

[RolloTheGreat]

Hey, I do agree with you that pit bulls should be banned and outlawed. From wiki:
" A 1991 study found that 94% of attacks on children by pit bulls were unprovoked, compared to 43% for other breeds, and that 67% involved freely roaming animals."
Many military bases in the US have banned pit bulls for all residences.  They're out-right banned in England and Wales, and Australia as well.  

Interesting, good point, Rollo.  I never liked pit bulls - these dogs are the hardest to trust.  My brother had a rottweiler - the breed with the most deadly bite of all dogs, but it was very tame and disciplined.  Pitbulls need to be taken outside everyday, for a long walk (hours of exercise) each day to be happy and at ease - they just have way too much testosterone.  

But what about a taser gun?  A stun baton would work wonders, especially if trained with how to use a baton against dogs.  Even if it was a small muscular bulldog that could jump 7 feet high, it would be zapped by 50,000+ volts of electricity before it could get close enough to bite. 

Personally I think on a Rottweiler (or pitbull) like the one in the video they should just shoot. If that dog is breaking free to get at people, most of the people won't have a taser or a gun. So you have a dog that is known to break free to get at people, has the strongest jaws of any dog, and policy is not to harm the dog until it harms or kills someone? If I was that cop, that dog would be dead. All he had to do was walk by and it broke loose and attacked him.

I also think that if you buy one of these dogs, you should be held liable for it's crimes. If that mutt eats some old lady walking by on the street the owner should be tried for murder.

We'd have a lot less people owning them if they couldn't be insured and people were held accountable for the damage they cause.
