This is why I hate people

[charger02]

I'm sorry for you, that you don't have the same disgust for this individual that most of us have. I never threaten anyone. Those that harm defenseless children and animals deserve what ever karma is out there. Bluster behind a computer, no. That is how I feel!

Please don't be sorry for me, I didn't ask for it and I don't need your sympathy. It would be put to better use for those who are defenseless. I wrote what I did as it is extremely easy to talk about what you would do to those who harm others, or better yet throw in a reference to a crime drama where people are murdered or assaulted as part of the regular plotline.

It is quite another to put yourself in harms way for another, I know, have done so and will do again if required. Until to you are ready to make that sort of commitment beyond a keyboard then I see it as bluster. Just my opinion....I have gotten off my soap box to ride off on my white horse to my ivory tower

To the OP, hopefully the situation rectify's itself but I think that it is a reflection of our society currently.....unfortunate but true.

My dogs are my babies. I don't have children & don't plan on it in the near future. You can better believe I would not stop at just flipping off the worthless human being that dare puts their hands on my babies in a forceful way. I'm not one to promote violence & don't consider myself a violent person. But you hurt my babies....& I hurt you. End of story.

Yup

Its not bluster. Its a little difficult to travel across country and go back in time so's we CAN react to the original incident like we would have. So the best we can do is state our support for the feeling. If you wish to call that bluster you can, but don't expect your opinions to be well recieved either since you clearly don't know any of us personally so you CAN for a legitamate opinion of us.

That is a cute picture and I suppose there are some that are truly able to back it up.

If my opinions are not well received then so be it. I just don't advocate violence via the internet.....that includes implying it through whatever medium you choose. Let me be clear in this, defending the weak, innocent or defenseless (in my opinion) is not advocating violence. But what has been said in this thread about "what you would do..." is nothing more than talk.

We both know you can type or say whatever you want but until you put your money where your mouth is then all its just a bunch of words. Nothing more. Dare I say that when confronted with the situation that the OP stated the majority of people would have acted the same way. All this internet bravado sounds great but we weren't there, the stress wasn't high, adrenaline flowing and were not faced with the prospect of a man saying he was going to get his gun.

So it is bluster

 

[ruthcatrin]

You don,t know me. You cannot determine what I can or will do.

 

[charger02]

You're right on both counts. I am merely expressing my opinion on all the posturing after the fact of the OP's situation.

 

[Duetsche_Doggen]

Someone would REALLY have to push me/ or my dogs before I would seriously engage. I'll put on a good diplay though

Wow, I am so sorry for Ally, I am just reading now and am sick to my stomach and saddened by the whole thing.
Give her some extra love from us over here what a disgusting POS!
@ charger02, not sure what prompted your remark.
There are a lot of people on this board who, although we have never met in person, spend time every day chatting with eachother. We remember when Ally was brought home and feel an affiliation/friendship with eachother. We are all very passionate about our dogs as well as eachothers and all in general.
What happened to Ally, I know angers me in a way that not many other things do. People here are angry and going to post that anger. To be honest I believe many would react if witness to that situation, I know I would and have in the past.
Rather then hijack this thread, why not take your comment to pm if you have an issue with an emotional reaction.

I hate this man and I wasn't there! But I will say that if I had been, I would not have watched, I would have taken out his knees immediately. Unfortunately, I was at a similar event and had to defend a large dog from a similar idiot and did not hesitate to do so. There was an issue caused by a pom and the larger dog was in the wrong place at the wrong time and was automatically considered the trouble maker, when in fact the dane was just sitting near his owner. I hope Ally is ok. He is the reason that I don't take my boys to large events. I know my dog and know his limitations, but you can never predict what an idiot will do, especially since they tend to act without knowing what they are reacting to, they just like to fight and injure people. I also do not use retractable leashes and usually steer clear of little dogs, they are quick to snap at anything and I am not very tolerant of their behavior. I love animals and have a great respect for them, it is unfortunate that humans cannot or won't behave better.

FYI peeps - Im a flexi/extanable lead owner and user...however I am also always 100% on the ball, keeping an eye out and quick to reel in when the need arises. When you have an Akita that is not dog friendly but want him to enjoy a sniff and bit of contolled freedom when at the woods or in the fields a flexi is perfect. I can reel it in in seconds so he is at my side but I wouldnt be without it. Same for when you have a bitch in heat that us usually allowed off lead. Now I would never put her in the position to be accidentally mated so when out at the woods etc she is on a flexi...just in case we come across another dog. For public events and street walks tho both are on a standard 3ft lead or even shorter if I decide even 3ft is too much distance from me.

I would say that as AB owns two filas (and proper temped filas, at that), you'd have to go a long way to call anything she says with regard to dogs as "bluster". I have an EM and he's a blustery dog: sometimes barks but will always choose to body-block and watch instead of going for the throat. Filas do not bluster. She made no threat herself but I have no doubt at all that she can and will throw down if and when the situation calls for it.

If more owners used them like that they wouldn't be a problem.....

I agree whole heartedly...did I spell that right? LOL. Flexi's can be a God send or your worst nightmare. Never would I dream of using on on the street, they are too big and clunky for a start and dont leave you easily with both hands free. It makes me cringe when I see small dog owners walking down the sidewalk with one at full extension...it would only take a cat on the other side of the road for that dog to run in to traffic....end of dog.

 

[jenny adams]

i am not a flex lead user but if i was it would be how mooshis mummy uses it i have seen dogs on one on fill length and the owner is walking down the street on there phone and the dog is wondering on and of the road in front of cars it a wounder there not hit

 

[AKBull]

I'm sorry I missesd this thread...

Ruby, I hope Ally heals up quickly! I have to say, reading about the attack made me sick and very angry..

 

[big blue]

I am sorry to hear that happened... it makes me so furious and sick to my stomach when a fight breaks out and its automatically blamed on the bully breed?!
owner of a pitbull, doberman, and cane corso... the meanest dog on our block is the neighbors toy poodle.. small dogs need to be kept under control.. i went to petsmart the other day to buy some more dog food and someones papillion mix was just running around thye didnt have a leash or collar and werent paying any attention to it.. it ended up running up to a english bulldogge growling.. and it didnt end pretty... why cant people be responsible pet owners?

 

[wingman]

So sorry to hear about you and Ally. Pretty much agree with what Rob said. I totally would have kicked this guy in the teeth with my steel toe boots if I had been there. Thats just pathetic.

Couldn't agree more. Any dog of any breed can be aggressive and/or dangerous. My chihuahuas have a complex (which I have under control when I am there to regulate), and beat up on my step sons pit bull pup real bad.
