K'nel. The two lady dog's owners say they will put a sign on their gate saying do not feed the dogs.

A trip to the vets and a shot of whatever works would be the correct answer.

What a shame not one mention of it being a Pit Bull for the Pit Bull haters.

No they did not. Read the story.

Though the video is quite blurry, definitely no pit-bulls.

Four tall, long legged, short haired dogs. No typical fighter beasts.

But most dogs have a strong attitude to protect their territory.

Very dangerous to stick ones arm through the gate.

the dogs would get a yummy marinated steak after that if i was the neighbor who was bitten

And than the police will come arrest you and throw you in jail or the neighbors will dish out some Thai justice.

Which really goes to say the old guy got all that was coming to him. Having been to the house before he'd have known the dogs were there. Plain crazy when he could have left the lemons hanging on the outside of the gate. That's what happens at my house when someone drops something off.

they probably bark all day which would be enough to warrant some action.  

why do people have savage dogs in a suburban house yard is beyond me.  dogs need space to run and exercise,  not a house yard. And how many savage dogs does the lady have ?    why   so many  /  stupid imo.

Yes, delivering lemons to the neighbours is clearly punishable by loss of an arm. 

 

The dogs should be destroyed.

Irrelevant what type of dog it is, if it has proven it will attack a person it should be put down. 

 

Yes, there are mitigating circumstances, i.e. someone attacking its owner etc, but this was a guy dropping lemons inside the fence... What if it was a kid who’s mum had send them round to deliver a parcel dropped off with the neighbour... etc etc etc...

 

It is tragic that dogs should pay the price for poor owners with their life, but humans must come first in such circumstances.

If there would have been a sign it would have been the mistake of the guy now its the mistake of the ladies. Certainly not of the dogs they just did what they are trained to do.

 

Probably not a popular post with the dog haters here. But anyone who gets on a dogs territory by going over a fence is at fault. If it is of course properly visible with signs that the dogs are dangerous.

[steven100]

shoot the savage's  then the dogs.

you have a strange attitude toward some old guy getting his arm ripped & savaged by his next doors vicious dogs.

you probably would offer him a band aid.

I disagree Rob....  A sign doesn’t absolve the owners of any responsibility or fault for being extremely poor owners. 

 

Strawman argument warning: If I had bear traps in my front yard and put a sign up, that wouldn’t absolve me of responsibility should someone get hurt.  I know, a silly and extreme example, but dangerous dogs that will attack people ‘should’ not be there, their owners failed to train them. 

 

Any warning sign of dangerous dogs is just owners admitting they have failed to train their dog properly, those owners should never have had dogs in the first place.

I disagree if its a fenced off area and you climb to get in with signs showing dangerous dogs then your at fault. I am talking about a fenced of area with signs saying beware dangerous dogs. Then for sure the person climbing over and getting attacked is at fault.

 

Is a zoo liable if you climb into the polar bear pen ?

Yes, they will be disappointed.

@richard_smith237

 

Just looked it up if you have a good fence and you have a sign no trespassing and beware of dog then the chances that someone trespassing can sue you and get compensation is quite limited. But laws vary per place. 

 

It really depends on how much trouble the owner has gone through to fence of an area ( if they can still stick arms in and such then its not fenced of good). IF the person really had to take effort to get in and is not supposed to be there (trespassing) then dog owners have a really good case. But again the law can vary per area.

Of course it does. Same as a disclaimer on a document.

[fredscats]

The dogs will not be put down,just continue normally (with arm missing)

You are correct, we had a burglar pop in over the wall,

our dog, called Gnasher, had a chunk of his trousers,

which which we hung on the gate.

As yet, no one has come back to claim it.

are they harmless dogs .... or now armless dogs

[robblok]

In this case id say the area is not fenced off properly someone can easily stick his arm through the gate. But if proper care was taken to fence the area off, signs were placed and the person was NOT allowed to be there legally it would be a hard case to be found guilty.

 

Of course because of the gaps in the fence like that and no sign that is not the case here.

There is a reason that many who read such a story often assume a pit bull was involved.  Maybe that is because they very often are involved in savage attacks.

[chalawaan]

I had to "clear editor" on this one. Too many beers.

But tomorrow when I'm sober, any mutt that looks me in the eye for more than 4 seconds, gets a gift from messrs. Smith & Wesson, and the bolshie aggrieved <deleted>-machine owners better steer clear too. 

The end.
