Large dog's attack on chihuahua on Upper West Side sparks calls for change in laws

A small dog is recovering back at home with her owners after a vicious attack by a much larger canine on an Upper West Side street, and the near-deadly mauling is prompting calls for more to be done to protect pets in similar incidents.

The video was horrible.

Tired of hearing it's not the dog, it's the owners.

It's the dog, but having bad owners makes it even worse.

It's time for pits to be be banned in the US or required by law to be muzzled in public.

Merge somewhere if not allowed.

People that live in apartments shouldn't own huge dogs.

We going to start banning these too?

She went next door to hug a neighbor. The neighbor's dogs killed her during their embrace.

KC neighbors are living in fear after dog attacks man. Why won’t city do more?

Schoolgirl, 9, dragged down the street & mauled by 100lb ‘killing machine’ Cane Corso dog in front of terrified friends

Owner needed plastic surgery after Cane Corso turned on her during dog attack

Dog owner faces charges after dog attacks Quincy, Massachusetts, animal control officer

Cane Corso's are the new breed popular with idiots who have no business owning that kind of dog. This shit happened in the early 90s as well. I'm not saying pitbulls aren't dangerous, but "banning" isn't going to help. We're already seeing the shift, but so far, Cane Corso attacks haven't gotten a whole lot of national attention.

yes

I think Pit Bulls should be killed on site. That breed needs to be eradicated.

It's not the dog's fault. It feels marginilised and impoverished.

 

[Spam On Rye]

Nanny state nonsense. Plus yr appeal to emotion is fallacious and animals don't have moral agency.

 

[joy2day]

Ban everything but poodles and no one will get hurt.

 

[Slapjit]

smdh owners prolly takin' di dog oot fi him monthly walk

dog nuh di only one in need of exercise

 

[Osculater]

They should put muzzles on the owners and the dogs too

 

[gentel]

Yep, ban pit bulls and whatever other highly dangerous breeds

Their instincts to maul and not give up the bite even while being literally killed aren't okay to expose the public to

 

[ShadowRun]

Maybe we should ban cars? every year walking pedestrians are hit.

No objections to a muzzle law. Dogs don't even mind them and it helps make them calmer overall when it's on or not. It's a small effort by the owner to slap one on for a bit while the pup's outside.

 

[Deleted member 609094]

It's a lot more nuanced than banning a breed.

Some breeds are necessary.
Protection of property.
Protection against wild animals - I don't know about USA but I assume some areas have wolves, bears, mountain lions and more.
Certainly in some parts of Eurasia, having a Corso is more appropriate than having a labrador.

Though simplicity and reasonability says, as above - a muzzle. Or, not within certain clear geographical boundaries.

I am all for having any animal of any kind but for sensible reasons.
Blanket laws aren't sensible for all occasions.

 

[Croo67]

All the incels and fascists blaming XL Bully-type breeds are disgusting.

I recognise no pattern and will always point back to an isolated incident of a Golden Retriever growling at someone years ago as proof that all dogs attack.

More apts should definitely have that rule. Especially apts with narrow hallways that force people into contact with animals that cannot be properly controlled by their owners. No crossing the street, or ducking into some alley or whatever.

I’ve discussed it at length. Idiots will come in and defend it.

The solution is to spay and neuter pit and pit mixes out.
