Pit bull type dog loose Farren Park area

Max Powers

Just driving out that way at 15:00 today Friday and this grey/white bip bull dog was walking around the area, he was coming from farren park looks like he was heading to estate across the road (grantstown park??)..

Nice responisble (scum) dog owner there no doubt. I called the dog warden (872247), hopefully it is caught and put down before it attacks a child/person/another dog

Ah now hold on just a wee sec...


Hopefully it's caught, yes...but put down?

Any dog can burrow out of it's home and wander free...it could be a nice pet and I don't think it deserves to be put down without committing any kind of crime!

membersonly

No I agree he should be put down, sounds like he's up to no good, hanging around on street corners etc. I hear he has shifty eyes too so can't be trusted.

the owner should be put down for letting him run loose

Pit Bulls in general should be put down on sight. Awful animals which serve no purpose other than to frighten people.

He was seen selling pirate dvd's and counterfiet Nike air max trainers too. Another chap I know said he saw this pit bull and it had its tracksuit tucked into its socks (on its little pit bull legs). Scum, ggrrrr, angry.

This is surely a wind-up?

Hopefully the dog is caught but to put it down when it's done nothing wrong? That's ludicrous. How many Jack Russells or Yorkies or Labradors do you see freely roaming the streets yet there are no calls for all of them to be put down.

If this dog is aggressive, then he really needs to be caught as they can do serious damage but hopefully he's ok and just got out of his garden or whatever. As I said in the thread that was up here not too long ago, it's the owners that give these dogs a bad reputation as a lot of them are pure scum who don't know how to treat their animals.

Jack Russells or Yorkies or Labradors dont go around with scumbags or eat children.

I don't think they choose who they go around with billythepig, also, children can be annoying.

What I want to call you would get me banned, seriously how ignorant are you when it comes to dogs. It is probably not a pitbull at all and second of all the bull breeds are not naturally aggressive to humans and are very gentle dogs. Why should a dog that is just walking around harming no one be put down just because he has a bull type face.

Yes Boss

Pit bulls were bred for fighting not cuddling. They should be taken out....:(

bet I could find a picture of a pit bull guide dog if I bothered , really op you can not get any more ignorant , you know what the most dangerous dog on the streets is ? one that youre giving bad vibes to , the dog you are threatening with your own agression.

And the absolutly retarded argument that they were bred to be violent ? Our national dog the irish wolf hound , bred to hunt wolves in packs , used by the romans in gladiator fights , used as war dogs by the celts , so basically a dog bred for violence and power , and do you know what theyre called ? The gentle giants , they are the most placid dogs you can find .

My point is dogs arent bred to be dangerous they arent born thirsting for blood , they are trained to be like that by a minority , each dog is an individual

Just to make things clear this is not a pit bull its a staff he's quite friendly and if anything scared of people i don't know who the owner is but he seem to be taken in at night.

Wait hold on here a sec saw that dog today in my estate Farran Park I was scared as it came near my car at Tricky Dick's shop, but that dog is scared if you go near her...however what I take complete issue with is your interpretation of the owner automatically as a scumbag, maybe Im a liitle cranky cause I just woke but if my two dogs got out on me and you saw them running round Farran Park, would you call me a scumbag as well.

bfocusd

A dog is only as aggressive as it's made by the owner, if it's on purpose or by inexperience, you cannot say just because it's a particular breed it should be put asleep, I've never had an aggressive dog and my immediate own German shepherds, an akita, pit bull, jack russels, Yorkshire terrier, I've had a beautiful Rottweiler/Doberman pincher mix, he was a big baby and would lick you to death.

The majority of those dogs are seen as aggressive, they weren't kept to intimidate people or be guard dogs, they are family pets, we had a German Shepard when I was a baby and she was the sweetest dog ever, and always wanted a cuddle.

Yet my friend has a chiwawa and it's the most aggressive dog ive ever seen, they never had a dog and have no idea how to train/treat them

brilliant,
..for thinking that aggressive dogs with a long history of mauling kids etc should be put down if they are out on the loose. Its only weeks since someone posted that they saw a childs toy dog mauled in red square by a similar breed, we were all outraged.

sure, other dogs have been involved in attacks too but not to same extent. All the owners of these 'aggresive' dogs say 'ah hes lovely, he wouldnt hurt a fly, he'd lick you to death'...he wouldnt hurt a fly in his owners family, thats the way dogs are, they know their family but arent concerned with people/kids outside of their pack.

I like dogs in all shapes and sizes but i cannot understand or i dont think we should tolerate irresponsible owners who let very dangerous dogs out on the loose. If it was a lab,retriever or whatever i wouldnt care as generally they are not aggressive, but if its a rottweiler, pit bull etc they are a real danger to people. Maybe having it put-down was a bit much but surely it should be caught and if the owner wants it back, they should have to pay a €100 fine, if not willing to pay then...

longshanks

Has it not already been stated that the dog in question is a staff and not a pit bull?
Which renders this whole thread pointless, as whatever peoples feelings are about pit bulls a staff is a fairly harmless dog.

S28382

Every dog big or small reflects its owner just because the breed might be deemed dangerous or aggressive doesnt mean it is the case with the individual dog, i have a big dog, a rottweiler which is trained and very social and he is well behaved where as our neighbour has a little sh*t of a dog and he does nothing but bark all day/night runs riot when he is out of the house....so does that still make me a scumbag my dog a dangerous one and my neighbours dog a great little thing.. i dont think so, the original post is really ignorant, to me it shows a very one dimensional view of things, but one thing i do agree with it the dog shouldnt be running free but it still doesnt need to be put down.

jo06555

So people are really suggesting that all pit bulls should be destroyed ha I do not have one but its a fairly big statement to make , its the owners who need to be dealt with if their dog is running free and is aggressive, its like saying all men under 25 should be jailed just cause let's just make up a number like 10 % are thieves or murderers lol

Definitely. Poodles aren't proper dogs, more like rats.

These dogs are controlled by law for a reason.

Wonder what that reason could be?
:rolleyes:

Breeds of dog

The Control of Dogs Regulations 1998 (S.I. No. 442 of 1998) impose additional rules in relation to the following breeds (and strains/cross-breeds) of dog:

• American pit bull terrier
• English bull terrier
• Staffordshire bull terrier
• Bull mastiff
• Dobermann pinscher
• German shepherd (Alsatian)
• Rhodesian ridgeback
• Rottweiler
• Japanese akita
• Japanese tosa
• Bandog

The rules state that:

• These dogs (or strains and crosses of them) must be kept on a short strong lead by a person over 16 years who is capable of controlling them
• These dogs (or strains and crosses of them) must be muzzled whenever they are in a public place
• These dogs (or strains and crosses of them) must wear a collar bearing the name and address of their owner at all times.

The rules on muzzling and leashing do not apply to dogs used by the Gardaí, the Dublin Harbour Police, State Airport Police and bona fide rescue teams in rescue operations. The rules on muzzling do not apply to guide dogs for the blind.

You obviously haven't seen too many poodles. While the toy and miniature varieties aren't too imposing a full grown standard poodle is an impressive dog. Kinda like a kickboxer with a shite haircut it looks a bit gay but it'd kick the head off ya.

The pitbull is actually a very smart breed to you know much about dogs at all or just like talking poo online.

honeybadger

same as any other dog really they just need a good home and given plenty of love and attention

jo06555

My Akita don't have a muzzle and tbh iv not seeing any German shepherd or Akita wear one????

honeybadger

dont know if this is true or not but heard and told before that the akita breed was favoured for its baby sitting potential thousands of years ago when man and woman had to leave the cave to hunt and forrage while they left the kids at home in the cave,they ment to have kept the kids safe from bears and wot ever that would have taught they were easy prey at the time,lovely looking dogs them all the same

uberalles

Tree strike rule. The dog should be allowed to attack and disfigure a few people before being put down.

These dogs were bought with tax payers money so we all own them. I think it's ........Well fair.

I believe the Akitas are only on the list as they dont snarl before they snap ? Its over the warning that most other breeds give before they bite which the akitas don't , i'm not certain though I just heard it in passing !

DaleB91

Ohhhhh **** is gonna hit the fan. I own 2 staffs and a king charles. Im more affraid of the king charles then the staffs. Staffs are born with what i can only describe as being like no fear, hard for people to understand i know but a staff will not attack you if he has been (a) been brought up in a proper loving home (b) doesnt feel threatened (c) are healthy/not frustrated, like all dogs. I don't understand the close minded people that still walk around in the 21st century where the internet is available to nearly all and can say "put him down before it attacks a child" or "only scumbags own them to scare people". Granted some people do own them because they think it makes them tougher looking but even most of there staffs go their entire life without attacking anyone. My 2 staffs sleep on my bed, one has since the day i brought him home and the other is a rescue staff and took some bonding but now he sleeps on my bed too at night. We also have 4 cats at home and they never got attacked, the kitten sleeps in with the staffs durin the day. My 3 younger sisters aged 6,7, and 9 play with them, lie down on them, nearly everything you'd imagine a small child would. If any of yee want to see my staffs and family interact with them send me a PM. I have the papers, dog licences, vacination papers, everything. Oh and for all you smart people gonna call scum, don't waste your time because I'm not, worked for everything i have, no dole paying for my dogs.

DaleB91

Just another thing and you can all see it if yee want, I will put up pictures if requested. I have extensive scarring from a jack russell attacking my right arm, shoulder area when i was 7.

uberalles

Same dog seen here in his owners private swimming pool and the entire family is on de social I hear. I hope the community welfare officer is giving them a few $ to keep the pool warm lest the dog get scrotum shrivelling-itus.

Im all for animal rights but surely this abomination of a mut should be stung up like a side of beef?

Quite right...And why should a Lion be taken off the streets if he is just walking around harming nobody.Its not his fault if he eats a child.Its the irresponsible owners.Its the breed.These Pitbulls need to be phased out from society now or else put in Zoo's.Our children are more important.
