Mums dogs attacked near Firth Park

[locket 10]

this morning 2 of my mums dogs were attacked by a 'pit bull' type dog near the gates of firth park on cammel road.

they are both now at the pdsa where they are being operated on.

the police now have the dog so it cant do anymore damage. they had to cs gas the dog to get it under control.

my mums dogs where on the lead which they always are. 1 of of them is a very old man who doesnt cope with anaestectic so we ae waiting the outcome.

my mum is still in shock

why do people own dog when they cant control them?

This is so bad, my friends dog was attacked by a similar dog on wincobank hill a few weeks ago, there was 2 of the dogs and her dad had to get them and put them in his van as the police/ rspca and dog wrden refused to come out!!!!

She was told they had been returned to the owners a few days later....they then went on to attack another dog on wincobank hill!......wonder if it is the same one. hope your mums are ok bless them .

where abouts on wincobank hill was this? I walk my dog there everyday and have not heard of dogs being attacked there and talk to a lot of owners as my dog is very sociable.

"why do people own dog when they cant control them?"

Thats really terrible, I am so very sorry to hear about your Mums dogs and particularly that one didn't survive she must be feeling so upset right now.

 

What did they do with the dog that did this? in my opinion if a dog is that viscous it should be put to sleep, no ifs or buts, if people want to keep these sort of dogs then they should have the security in place to make sure that they don't get out and hurt another animal, something really does need to be done about these dogs, and the owners need to be held far more responsible.

I was once bit in my lower abdomen by a german shepherd whilst delivering take away food, i was rushed to hosptial, the police did nothing! (not the owners fault is it!)

recently i've had family probs.(family court) i get arrested and charged just because my ex makes a false complaint. the law STINKS!

Dogs are not born viscious. They are learning creatures. Unfortunately in our society these 'pitbull types' are kept for the wrong reasons. Irresponsible owners with dogs that haven't had loving sociable homes is a recipe for disaster.

 

I have never had a problem with walking my dogs off the lead in 15 years or meeting any other dog walkers. I suppose if i lived in a rundown area i'd be on my guard more against these types of dog and owners. These dogs are bred for being aggressive and sometimes fighting purposes.

 

Hope your mutts pull through anyway
