This happened a couple blocks from where I live.

http://www.gazette.com/news/police-145503-running-dogs.html


Colorado Springs police shot a pit bull running loose near children who were on their way to an eastside elementary school Thursday morning. The dog was one of two aggressive pit bulls that were running about 8 a.m. in the 5000 block of Basalm Street near Scott Elementary, according to police.
Police said they got the children out of the area and contacted the Humane Society of the Pikes Peak Region. Police and animal control officers were able to capture one of the dogs and take it to the humane society. The other dog was large and aggressive and officers were not able to capture it. They Eventually, they decided to shoot the dog in the street.
The dogs were not wearing identification.

I'm sorry to be "that guy", but job-well-done CSPD. =\

If there is anything I can't stand, it's a quote/unquote "domesticated animal" that can potentially hurt or kill a child (or anybody for that matter) that is not properly restrained by its owner. I'm definitely no advocate of ending life when not absolutely necessary, but sometimes commonsense must rule the day, and people (especially children) must be protected, if alternatives have been exhausted.

It probably was the correct response. Now find the fucking shitbag owners and arrest them, AND FINE THEM BIGTIME for endangering the public.

I feel so sorry for the dogs, raised by assholes who don't deserve pets of any kind!

Alternative means? You mean they couldnt corner the other dog.

Im sorry man but when it comes to springs pd they are all a bunch of fucking morons. First what is the reason these dogs were aggressive? They didnt attack anyone. No one hurt. No attack but lethal force was acceptable. Why? These guy dont have those tranquilizers? I mean beats the shit out of firing one off in a neighborhood with all these kids around.

So nope they didnt use means. Barn i never would have pegged you for a uneducated fear driven media victim.

Have you seen the true stats? The likelihood of finding yourself being attacked by a dog peroid. It is truly low. Finding death by a dog? More people die from coconuts falling out of tree.

For the ones that do happen it saddens me. I will never promote animal life over human. But i also will call bullshit in claiming a dog was hostile when he hadnt hurt anyone or anything.

Will agree with Townie here, there is no way in hell they exhausted their options, they just went stereotypical and decided to take the easy route out. Police and media lie like in other occasions to cover fuck ups.

Yes townie I would normally agree there are other means. But I am sure those means were exhausted considering they got one dog by other means. Just saying.

As someone who has been on emergency scenes that have made news coverage. Most of the time the news gets information from people that don't know whats going on or they just seem to wing it. But very many times they seem to be missing very important facts that tell the whole story.

Hey... you guys can be lion tamers if you want, but fuck that shit. At least the cops are trained shots and probabaly killed it humanely. I carry a pistol from time to time, so if I ever came across a barking, aggressive looking dog with no owner restraining it, and I (or worse my kids were with me and...) felt "cornered" in any way by it, I'd shoot the dog too. I'm next to 99.9% positive, that the cops wish they didn't have to kill it, but didn't feel like risking the alternative.

Not placing undue blame on the animal, because I understand their nature, and the nature of inattentive [egh-hmm...] "owners"... but come on now.... Let's focus on the situation at hand here Townie, and not get philosophical beyond our paygrade. :roll:

I guess they had run out of tranquilizers. All options had been exhausted beforr lethal force.

So who did these dangerous dogs hurt?

Oh for sure on the self defense end dude, all in your right. All that is in my own personal question on this situation is that if all options were really exhausted as they seem to have just rushed to end the dog and call it a day just to ease the situation. Guarantee you any other breed would've been handled differently.

Hard to say about the time and the effort they put in, but as was pointed out earlier, they did capture the fist dog easily enough, I doubt they were shooting the second one for sport.

I do agree with your last comment though. It probably would have acting much different too. I imagine different breeds of snakes and bears other animals may warrent different "tact" when being handled under circumstances that are less-than fully controlled.

If it makes you feel any better Townie, I am saddened that the dog had to pay with its life, to ensure that nobody got hurt. Because thankfully, no person was hurt. That is afterall, the outcome the cops were tasked with achieving. I don't often put cops on any special pedestal, but I also try to never begrudge them the need to do their duty.

On average about 27 people will be killed by a dog each year in the US,19 of the homicide victims will be children under the age of 15. The dog that causes 3 out of 4 attacks on kids will be the "loving" family dog,such as the "friendly companion" pit bull with the wonderful disposition. Children attacked by these breeds are literally torn apart with horrifying injuries that are almost beyond words. Those that survive are often maimed for life.

Bro look at those numbers!! Its deviation for sure!

Why is it hard for Pit "lovers" to see why the rest of the world is over protective when dealing with these situations.

There is no way in hell that someone that is being payed (or any other rational human for that matter) to protect and serve would even let a threat come anywhere near children. That and they are dogs! As in animals that are unpredictable. Why does anyone stand up for them? Because you have had some good ones? Because you know that not all of them are bad? Well whooptie do! Now we should trust these things that are, when provoked, insanely violent and uncontrollable.

My views on these dogs has now been changed. From now on we should all carry around dogie treats for situations like this

Why is it so hard for people to read and educate themselves to better understand the the so called threat?

I mean truly. Why were they being deemed aggressive? Because they barked? Thats not aggressive behavior. Because they didn't allow themselves to be cornered by people attacking them? What do you think a dog is going to do while being chased and peppwr sprayed?

Come ezz we are the animal with the brains. It jist seems that as soon as we are scared of something we have to kill it.

Aggressive breed?? By who? More uneducated fools? The breed is not a aggressive breed. Yes some dogs thay are not cared for properly. Isnt this how all dogs get? Sure pits need more attention and more regular training then normal dogs. Its how they are. This is whu you have situations that arise. Not properly taking care of your dog. Now im not saying they are beating and not feeding. Pits have tons of energy and want to work. Most of all please their people. With a proper training schedule no issues will be had. Ever.

Wow, just wow.

Anyone catch how they were only able to aprehend the other dog When it fled in the opposite direction AFTER the officer shot its companion?

I have a Pitbull, and I love her dearly. She's the most loyal, smartest(literally took me 2 days to house break her at 8wks old, and another week to train her to sit, stay, lay, shake, and speak), and best behaved dog I've ever had, and I've been raising and training dogs with my parents since I was about 8 years old. I've also owned multiple breeds, from beagles to chows, labs to miniature poodles, Aussies to border collies and so on.

My only point here, is it's not the breed, it's the owners. Give them love, they'll give you a superior companion. Plain and simple.

Unless people were there to witness, LIKE THE COPS WERE, then I don't think you have a "dog in this fight". I agree with Barn, barring any witness testimony that the dog was just "chilling out" and not appearing as a threat to the public. Sorry, but if it's a JUDGEMENT CALL, I'll take the protection of my children and neighbors, over a dog's. It's totally the douchebag owner's fault, unfortunately the dog paid the price. But I don't blame the cops or any sensationalist media.

I believe very little in what the news reports.

I'm with Townie, they had option. This is how I envision it going down. Cop trying to put the lead/pole around dogs neck, the dog growls. It scares the cop. The cops decide that means its aggressive (as if they would like someone sticking a lead around their neck). So the cops then decide its about time for a donuts and they wasted enough time so they shoot the dog and call it a day.

You can bait any dog...maybe a little food, some Hot Dogs...lol I doubt these dogs were trained in defense so they take the food willingly.

I'm with you here. I was working as a doorman in Phoenix and people opened fire outside of the club, killing 1, wounding 1, and missing one completely (at a distance of 15 ft, coincidentally why I'm not scared of most "gangsters"). The media misreported the story so badly that we ended up going to them to correct them in an official capacity.

I didnt even CLOSE to mention faith in PEOPLE being able to raise anything.

If my dog gets shot, it will simply be because she's a pitbull, most likely by someone just as blind as you to the fact that its not the breed, it's the owner.

Like Praveen said, I have no quams with the officers for trying to protect the children and so on like that, but it couldve been handled differently, with tranqualizers/etc.

Also, in one of the links you(?) posted, the one about the old man getting mauled to death while jogging.... that wasnt a pitbull. Just an FYI.

In the 70's, they blamed the German Shepard, in the 80's the Chow, 90's the Rotweiler, and nowdays the Pitbulls. When will they blame the people??

People laughing at me? Bro you have no common sense. NONE. dont i remember something about you having kids? God i hope not. People like you shouldnt be allowed to breed. You have no idea how to follow a conversation. You blame this on me. Repeatedly. But im never the only one asking you if you can even read. Look you hopeful waste of flesh. Ignorance will be met with ignorance. Its that simple. Keep running around screaming shoot the pit. Also you want to be able to stalk people in your neighborhood. Hope you dont ever find yourself face to face with someone like me. You would shit yourself pumpkin.

I was with you until the second to last sentence. I can think of plenty cases where I value animals over humans. Child molesters, wife beaters, rapists, and animal abusers just to name a few.

I only blame the owner IF they are those ghetto types that raise their dogs to "look, sound, act" mean and aggressive. I don't blame owners if their dogs are escape artists and get out THE FIRST TIME they escape, but after that, no excuse, you didn't spend enough time/money to secure your dog.

I will side with the cop's judgement on aggression, hopefully they are smart enough and have been educated on what to look for. I'm taking a guess that LEO's do indeed have some training on what to do in these cases, and when faced with two very difficult choices, they err on the side of public safety. I wouldn't blame them for that, unless it's like some people are speculating that they just shot it because it was a PitBull wandering around, and not some other old stray dog.

The fact that it was running around an Elementary School, does indeed factor in that cop's judgement, as it should. It was "chasing two children" around, that also factors in. Imagine what-ifs? Scary.

Oh yeah, "no chip, no collar, no tags". Yep, irresponsible owners most likely, imo.

I didnt even CLOSE to mention faith in PEOPLE being able to raise anything.

If my dog gets shot, it will simply be because she's a pitbull, most likely by someone just as blind as you to the fact that its not the breed, it's the owner.

Like Praveen said, I have no quams with the officers for trying to protect the children and so on like that, but it couldve been handled differently, with tranqualizers/etc.

Also, in one of the links you(?) posted, the one about the old man getting mauled to death while jogging.... that wasnt a pitbull. Just an FYI.

In the 70's, they blamed the German Shepard, in the 80's the Chow, 90's the Rotweiler, and nowdays the Pitbulls. When will they blame the people??

This...

"My only point here, is it's not the breed, it's the owners. Give them love, they'll give you a superior companion. Plain and simple."

I know this is a forum and its not always easy to have intact conversations but my response to what you wrote was in line. If you are saying that its the people that are responsible for the way the dogs are I am saying that I dont have faith in people being able to raise much of anything the way it should be. Good for the people that do but all of the pit owners that say"my dog would never do that", its the most ridiculous thing to ever say. Yes, maybe you raised the dog "correctly" and yes, maybe it has always been good but to say that an ANIMAL that was BRED to be a certain way would NEVER do something is crazy.

EDIT* I was looking for the article you used about the dog mauling the old man. I thought it said in the article that it was a pit. Any comment I would have made would have revolved around that, it being a pit.

Pitbulls were bread as working dogs first and foremost. People bred aggression toward other dogs and animals into them over the years due to their strength and determination as well as their willingness and desire to please their masters, that is all.

Again, its the PEOPLE, not the breed. If you doubt me, You're more than welcome to come and meet myself and my dog, as well as the rest of the dogs I've trained over the years, and all of Etnie's pitbull friends as well.

If ALL of them were the same, regardless of how they're raised, then my pitbull and the 4 others (at the same time) she happens to hang out with would constantly be fighting and such, right? Because they're all killers, right?

Who is saying all of them are bad? Im not. But it sure would sound like you are saying that even ones that are raised well would "never" do something wrong and that is, well, wrong.

I get that its the people, I heard you all 5 times you have said it and I dont disagree but its crazy to me that you cant agree that its the bread as well? The pit owners are just missing a lot of things because they are so focused on how good their dogs are and not recognizing how bad others are.

Its not the breed. Its the people. They ignore issues. They sont train properly. They dont neglect on a level of law standards but pits need TONS of work. Love.

Yes, you are right. There is no common theme when it comes to pit bulls. We have never had discussions about them and there are no laws on the books because of them.

In the 70's, they blamed the German Shepard, in the 80's the Chow, 90's the Rotweiler, and nowdays the Pitbulls. When will they blame the people??

Confusing blame and necessary action, is a fatal flaw when considering how we should "judge" the actions of these cops.

Yes... I think we can all agree that we wish the dog would have been given sufficient training by its owner/handler to have simply sat quietly and "complied" when the officers were trying to round it up. But somewhere along the lines, NATURE stepped in, and the cops had to do what the cops had to do, to make CERTAIN that nobody got hurt. It is not the responsibility of the cops to sit down with the dog and review its "who have I attacked today" logbook! They had to act to protect an outcome, not to wax philosophical about man/dog/child. There is nothing complex about this. It ceases to be a debate about compassion at a certain point. When "Hostage negotiations for dogs" is a viable solution, I'll concede the point, but until then, Man v. Beast is an unfair fight. That's it. There's nothing else to it.

FWIW from http://www.pbrc.net/faq.html

While aggression toward other dogs can be relatively common among pit bulls, aggression toward humans has never been a normal trait among these breeds. Pit bulls were not bred to be aggressive towards humans or for guarding purposes. This is one reason why they score so highly in tests such as the American Temperament Test Society’s standardized temperament test: http://www.atts.org (http://www.atts.org)
An often-overlooked fact of the APBT’s history is that human aggressive dogs have been actively culled from bloodlines. In the world of fighting, it is not useful or desirable for a dog to attack handlers or spectators.While developing the breed, breeders actively killed any APBTs that exhibited human aggression. The problem today is that there are likely a lot of back-yard breeds, and other mixed breeds. Under those circumstances there is always the chance that the human aggressive trait can go overlooked.

Two of my neighbors behind me have dogs. One has a bull mastiff, the other has a pit bull mix. If I go out into my back yard, the pit bull immediately starts barking, the other doesn't. If I approach the 6' wooden fence that separates the yards, the mastiff barks, the pit bull, on the other hand, begins jumping at the fence trying to climb over it to get to me, and I don't think it wants to be friends. Obviously I think my neighbors need to do a better job training their dog. When it starts barking, all they do is yell at it. But the fact that it's trying to climb the fence to take care of a perceived threat tells me that it's something in the dog's nature as well. On the other hand, my friends also own a pit bull mix that is well trained, he's still aggressive, but that aggressiveness is like that of an athlete, directed at playing, and he's a blast to play with and I'm never worried that he'll do something unexpected.

Now if you think certain breeds of dogs don't have a generalized disposition, then you've been living under a rock. For instance, I knew what to expect when I got my Siberian husky: extremely active, mischievous, strong willed, sociable, and kid friendly. Do pit bull owners know what they're getting into? I would hope so. They're an aggressive breed, which means they need extra care to point that aggression in the right direction. Done correctly, you get a fantastic dog. Done poorly, and you could possibly get one that wants to climb a fence to protect its family and guard its territory.

Awesome so when people see two pit bulls running around kids they should worry about cradles.

If you were in the ocean and saw a shark you wouldnt get scared? :lol: Its the same thing! Every time there is a shark in the water someone doesnt die but they are definitely viewed as a threat because of their reputation.

So who is the smarter human? The one that stays in the water when the shark is spotted or the one that gets out? I think you would be correct in answering the one that gets out. Similarly, I would say the same for someone seeing two pit bulls around kids. You should view them as a threat because of their ability and reputation.

If you do not view them as a threat you are not really fulfilling your obligation to society. Error on the side of caution, especially around kids. If you feel differently thats cool, I would bet there is a ton of people that would just turn a cheek but not me and not a lot of the people I surround myself with and if the outcome was the same I would have nooo problem knowing that my intent was to protect children and a potential terrible outcome.

The only argument you could throw that I might listen to is that you (guys) are pit owners so you would have more experience working with them and around them but even then you choice to work "with" the dogs instead of purely removing the threat (when necessary) might prove to be the wrong call if something turned and a kid (or yourself) got hurt or killed.

I agree with Ej as far as when it comes to children, if im going on one of my nieghborhood strolls with my daughter and a random dog comes running towards my kid and I you can bank I'm going to tackle the dog and dispatch it from this planet I don't give a shit what breed or size it is, any animal I am unfamiliar with running at my daughter is a threat and I will eliminate it. There are leash laws for a reason it's for the protection of others, animals are unpredictable just cause your dog has always been nice to people for 5 years doesn't mean all of the sudden it doesn't like the guy wearing glasses and decides to attack won't happen. Certain things can set an animal off at any time.

Truly bro. You are screaming about safty of your family. Do you shoot reckless drivers you see? If someone starts driving arouns you erratically do you open fire? Do you even call the cops to report them?

Yes, yes and yes. :crazy:

To be honest with you, I would say ignorant would be thinking that an unknown pit bull around kids is not a threat. Ignorant would be pretty much everything you have said to defend your stance and beliefs. Ignorant would be trusting in someone elses pet to do the right thing.

Again man, you are always allowed to think what you want. I am not trying to change your mind just telling you what I think about the situation. Sorry you dont like it but honestly I dont think anyone is ever going to loose sleep over you disagreeing with them (even though its the first time in your life you have ever disagreed with anyone :lol:)

No your mind is bassed off blind fear and ignorance. Much larger and truer threats go unseen and not even given a second thought.

Fact is if it wasnt for the media the rest of you wouldnt blink a eye at a pitbull.

And no i dont label strange dogs. They are all strange and if looked scared are given room. ALL dogs.

Basically im saying i wouldnt cross the street because i seen a black guy.

Now ej i understand you will have no idea what that line is supposed to mean but its an example.

going to be new in the summit county area shortly...but am from miami where there is a pitbull ban....lots of threads like this one goes on down in south fla:cyber:

have had dogs my whole life...all different types...conclusion....they are animals dont let us forget...so they can do the animal thing and be aggressive...now we train them to control that but in the end they are animals....



so one was out loose...well not one but two...they were prolly playing but they came near a school or a populated area...where there are kids....id shoot em also...IF they looked aggressive enough...i know we dont know the whole story...but we never do with the media...but two dogs(two bad asses) loose, plus kids...doesnt add up for success...the thing is what if they got to a kid first...you aint getting it off the kid without killin it...might as well try and prevent it...

i dont know about everyone but down here if you see a big dog out loose you just stay away...you never know...especially if its a pit...you know its breedl track record...



im also pretty sure if it was any breed of big dog they would of shot it... IF it showed the same signs of aggression...which we dont really know...

Yes but the problem is what deemed these dogs aggressive? Thats what im saying. Or is just random dogs around kids the threat in its self? Maybe if the colorado springs police department wasnt such a bunch of idiots i wouldnt be questioning this. I mean after getting calls from to tow a civic scion and not even knowing their own laws and arresting innocent people. Yeah how about the morons that get their cruisers stuck on the railroad tracks. Nope ive seen that department in action. Reno 911 aint got shit on cspd.

A lot of judgement and ego has let loose in this thread.

It is more important to be loving than making a point.

On topic:
There is an energetic connection too. Some people want to blame the owners of said dogs. This can be true, but there is more to the moment than we're able to see with our eyes. Special forces are taught how to feel and flow, using other senses they have tapped into for turning on.

If a dog is being yelled at, to 'shut-up' or other unloving methods. The dog has unreleased energy contained. Some dogs bark, to release energy. People and dogs must have ways to release energy.

I felt the fear of an LEO before, who I called to my home. While my dog was outside, I told the LEO that my dog senses fear, and was outside. A few minutes later, my dog comes inside, ignores the LEO who does not give off a fear vibe and corners the LEO who did.
I was watching the nervous LEO more than the other LEO and my dog knew it.


This is also similar to upset mothers and their children.
When the mother calms down, the children follow.

This is not a 'baiting post', so don't assume I'm criticizing. What animals do you own yourself? Any particular past bad incidents in your life with Pits, aggressive dogs, or what? Or just going on what you've seen in the news and online concerning Pits?

I know that every time a cop shoots a dog there is a big uproar about it, as there should be but here's a story about a good thing that police did with an sick dog that was tossed aside by its louse of an owner.
