webfact Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 CHIANG MAI, March 14 (TNA) – A pit bull viciously attacked a neighbor of its owner, leaving her arm nearly severed. CCTV footage from a house in Chiang Mai’s Sansai district showed a male pit bull around 10 years old, leaping to maul the arm of a 30-year-old woman until she was pulled away by her boyfriend and the owner of the pit bull. It took over 2 minutes to separate them, leaving a pool of blood. Following the incident, the owner locked the dog in a cage, and someone else offered to take care of him on the same night. Lamduan Bunrit, 67, the pit bull’s owner said that her son had brought the dog home several years ago. After his passing last month, she had to care for the dog alone. She looked for someone else to take the dog and someone agreed to do so on the evening of the incident. However, the attack occurred before the handover.

Instead of lambasting the elderly woman, with whom the dog had been left and who had apparently made a genuine and successful effort to get it re-homed after the actual owner's death last month, perhaps some empathy is required?

You believe that BS excuse ????... Brake failure !!! "Oh, I was rehoming the animal today, but it attacked someone before that could happen"... Regardless of the tragic circumstances of her sons death and the reason the dog was in her possession, it was still in her possession and she failed to ensure the animal in her possession was secure - that is still her responsibility and she is accountable for that. Its an unsympathetic and tough opinion: but my sympathies lie with an innocent victim of an attack by a dangerous animal that was not secured, that the owner, whatever the excuse or circumstances of ownership. 4 1 2 2 4 28 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read that, seems the Pit Bulls in LOS are smuggled in, or a bloke has cornered the market breeding them......... So how much is the insurance for a Pit Bull to cover for human arm removal...😂 Perhaps the daft owners on here could provide that info.........🤗 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, although cover for arm re-attachment would probably be more useful! Edited March 14 by Liverpool Lou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will B Good Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 Just bought an OTF knife to carry….at my kids insistence ….and they are correct. You cannot fight off a dog with sticks or stones or sticking your finger up its jack-see……come the crunch you need (at least) a knife. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post John Drake Posted March 14 Popular Post Share Posted March 14 This was the brute's second attack. It shouldn't have been chained. It should have been destroyed after the first incident. Quote Her boyfriend recounted his own experience of being bitten by the same dog three months ago, requiring 18 stitches. His wound had not fully healed. 1 1 1 6 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the same reason I am cynical about anyone else who commits wrong doing here then tries to back pedal out of it. An animal she is in charge of attacks.... She then tells us that she'd found a new home for the animal and it was supposed to be picked up on the very same day it attacked someone... incredible coincidence. Nope, I don't believe that for a second.. People tell lies.... IMO - only now that there has been an incident she was able to get her ducks in a row with someone else who said they'll be prepared to take the dog... she then exaggerated the rest of the story to try and look like she was taking more responsiblity. IMO the woman is lying and back-pedalling. I've no proof of course, but I am as cynical of the excuses given in these situations are you seem to be naive in blindly believing anything thats written down. 57 minutes ago, Liverpool Lou said: "The new owner of the pit bull declined to give an interview, only confirming readiness to care for the dog safely". He didn't know the exact lies he was supposed to be telling, so opted to remain silent instead. 3 1 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks…..I did buy one, first off……but one of my kids works with dogs and told me in no uncertain terms it was a waste of money……it will scare a dog, which usually does the trick….but if one ‘really’ goes for you, she said they wouldn’t even notice being hit…..you have to knife or shoot them…..!!!!!
