I’m not saying he was right or wrong… I just think that he could have broken them up with non-lethal means and probably went straight to the gun. If the pit bull were truly 100% attacking the other dogs, they would have been dead LONG before he could have gotten his gun. Also, a pitbull tends to play very rough… its in their nature. And anyone who doesn’t know any better could think that it was an attack. I’m not saying that is definitely was rough playing, but anything is possible.
Perfect example, I have an American Bulldog and when I was a trainer the other trainer and I decided to let our dogs play in the training area between classes because his dog (rottweiler) was a rescue and needed to get accustomed to playing with other dogs. The 2 of them were getting very vocal and were playing VERY rough… but they were playing. Both tails were going and were not in the typical defensive position. Also, both dogs would immediately respond when called because they were both well trained (where-as an untrained dog may not stop playing when called). We ended up having to end the play session because the manager got multiple complaints from customers that we were allowing dog fighting in the back… case in point; most people cannot tell the difference between 2 dogs playing and fighting.
Again, I can’t say that the guy was right or wrong because nobody will know the true circumstances, but I just find it hard to believe that the guy had to go and get his gun, then shoot the dog, yet his dog only had a few scratches. Sorry, but I don’t buy it…
i agree with this any dog smaller that a pit would have been seriously hurt or killed if it was actually attacking. and a bigger dog like lets say a rottie or a lab would be able to.defend himself. i have a feeling the guy seen a pit playing and instantly shot himbecause he is infact a pitbull and there" so mean horrible baby killers", yea right blowme
