BULL @#$&

Fight for survival

A pair of marauding pit bulls emerged from the edge of the bayou beyond New Orleans as the floods receded. Bred as fighting animals, their bloodlust had been sharpened by starvation. The dogs, which were wearing collars, had survived for more than two weeks but food was scarce.



They stalked towards their prey, a lone bull: a massive beast more than 10 times their combined weight. Like a wrestling tag team, the bitch and the dog attacked with awesome ferocity, leaping at the bull's head and latching on to its muzzle.

The stricken bull repeatedly shook the dogs off, flinging them up to 15 feet in the air. But they took turns to keep up the attack, exhausting the bull which was by now smeared with blood. Even after the bull trampled the bitch, leaving it dazed, the dog stepped up its attack.

The terrifying assault highlighted the US military's concern that pit bulls would form packs and could attack or even kill soldiers.

It was too dangerous for an unarmed witness to intervene but The Sunday Telegraph flagged down a National Guard truck. Seeing what was happening, a soldier shot the bitch in the head.

The dog paused before resuming the attack. It took two bullets to stop it dead.


My feelings are a little mixed on this article. check it out yourself and post some responses. Pics are on the link: http://news.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/09/18/wkat418.xml

 

Re: BULL @#$&

Re: BULL @#$&

hungry be fucked..look how well fed the dogs were...mongrel media bastard would have stole a couple of pets and took em out and sent them into that bull to get a story....funny how reporter just happened to be there but yet not one of the dumb pricks had enough brains to get the dogs off...hope they rot in hell the bastards..media loves to publish bullshit about our dogs don't they..fair enough they attack the bull but why is it they say these dogs were starving etc but when you can clearly see they were fat healthy house pets

 

Re: BULL @#$&

sorry marty ....didnt know

just came across it

 

Re: BULL @#$&

Thats ok man it happens all the time just thought I'd let ya know

 

Re: BULL @#$&

I'm afraid I don't see well enough to say the dogs were staving or not by the photos... My eyes aren't too good I guess. Then again if I were to witness something like that I don't think I would be as brave to walk over there and put myself between it. I don't really see why the media is at fault.. They simply feed the public what it will eat and people seem to be on a mission to prove these dogs are evil... We have a long ways to go.

 

Re: BULL @#$&

heres some bigger pics click these you will see this is just bullshit..the media is what is making it hard for pit bull owners by publishing bullshitand peoplewho don't know any better believe what they hear...these dogs wern't doing this because they were hungry,,they were attacking this bull for the sport of it

Re: BULL @#$&

looks likes pups having fun

 

Re: BULL @#$&

miles, is moto ur dog?

 

Re: BULL @#$&

Yes...

I picked him up from the animal shelter the day before he was to be put down...

 

Re: BULL @#$&

And yes now that the pictures are bigger I don't see any ribs on those dogs... But then again I'm not sure they show in two weeks of scarce food... Then again I've never starved a dog to find out. But Savage, I would think in an effort to salvage the pitbulls reputation I would be satisfied with the "They were hungry" story rather than the "Killing of Livestock for Fun" story... It makes the dogs seem like they were just trying to survive and not just killing to have fun.

 

Re: BULL @#$&

they did the wrong thing by shooting these dogs......

 

Re: BULL @#$&

Very true... I mean come on the damn cow was in the road too! At least put a bullet in the cow for being part of the group that was blocking the road..

 

Re: BULL @#$&

yeah no @#$%. now thats prejudice

 

Re: BULL @#$&

maybe they wanted to play? That thing is terribly large compared to those dogs. Maybe they made a bet as to who could get the cow to moo first. Obviously they didn't do much damage to the animal, and doubtless would have tired eventually. It isn't like they had it down and were trying to rip its throat out.


As for the soldiers-- I know some soldiers, and they're meaner than any pitbull I've ever met. I think they can handle themselves just fine, with their big guns and all. They certainly shouldn't go around shooting dogs just for trying to get a steak.

 

Re: BULL @#$&

I was a soldier... And I loves my gun... loves my gun.... I could never shoot a pitbull though... Maybe a Chinese Crested... But definitely not a pitbull.

All in jokes... I doubt I could bring myself to shooting a dog... Unless it was mine and chewed another damn remote control!!

 

Re: BULL @#$&

my bro is a soldier, too, and he wouldn't shoot a dog unless it was biting his... er, umm crotch. So, my money's still on the soldiers. Looks like they definitely won this round. Poor dogs.
