Baby killed in bed by a dog called 'killer'.

[tommye]

I've got a dog myself who may be deemed dangerous. He's an American bulldog and I've had him for 9 years. He lives in my kitchen and garden. We have to be careful when any visitors come to the house as we aren't sure whether he will attack them or not. I can't take him to the vet so I administer any needles or medication he needs. I never raised him this way, he was always aggressive from a young age. When he was a baby I walked him everywhere but as he got bigger, he changed, he attacked me once pinning me to the wall with his arms, I thought he was gonna chew me to pieces, my wife had to get him off with a brush.

I take him for walks but late at night so there is no potential danger, he is very strong and pulls the lead. I feel sorry for him for being this way but I never raised him to be a menace.

if you are unsure how the dog will behave in any normal every day situation then you have a problem. Get rid before some defenceless child becomes another statistic. Feeling sorry for the dog makes no difference. Keeping it, despite knowing it is a potential danger, makes you a fookin idiot.

He is safe in the house and is properly supervised and secure. He's only got a few years left anyway.

I can go to work and leave the door open all day, anyone tries to break into my house is one brave person

Parents should go to jail. It's a dangerous weapon.

 

[larrygobfiend]

There's been loads of these cases on the news so the parents have had prior warning. It's negligent and irresponsible so the parents should be punished.

Wouldn't even trust my soft as poo cockapoo around a baby because you never know what might happen.

There's a sheer lack of understanding there. Accepting a dog's misbehaviour as its personality is idiotic. Any responsible dog owner would ensure their dog had the proper training as soon as to iron out these problems.

I agree with you there.

It doesnt matter how well trained a dog is, it is still a dog. You're just making pathetic excuses for owning a dog that can kill.

Can't speak for everyone like but if you compare my girlfriend's dog and her sister's dog there's a big difference. Her sister's is a Staff which jumps up, chases sticks, chases his tail, plays around with you etc. and it's the most obedient dog ever. Couldn't imagine it ever having the bottle to bite anyone never mind wanting to as you can literally stick your hand in its mouth without its teeth even touching you and it'll stop chasing a rabbit or something the second you tell it to. Compare that to my girlfriend's dog which is a bone idle useless little King Charles Spaniel which just flops around doing nothing and the 'dangerous' one is well more fun. But at the same time the 'dangerous' dogs owners are planning for a baby therefore are looking to move it into a new home.

Does mostly depend on the owners and temperament of the dog's parents (but swerve American Pitbulls and that). Just that a pitbull, for example, can kill someone when it bites them whereas if a Jack Russel has a go you just volley it into next week.

Staffis are capable of it too. I just don't get it, why not get a dog which isn't capable of killing people ?

R U troleing us?

cars are dangerous, being in a kitchen is dangerous, alcohol is dangerous...etc etc

danger is around children constantly, parents are their to protect their children

Main difference being that kitchens and cars are petty necessary parts of modern life, owning a dog with jaws capable of killing humans really isn't.

This is tragic, but we don't really know enough about the case to make too many judgements. I'm sure we're not talking about the most reponsible parents here, but statements like they should go to jail aren't very helpful. How many babies are damaged or even killed by being dropped or left to sleep on their tummies each year? We don't suggest those parents responsible should be going to jail.

Bit of a (massive) difference between a baby being dropped by accident, and a couple owning a dog which is known to be dangerous, particularly to young children.

I'm sure a lot more babies and children are killed through the drinking of alcohol.
