Another day, another unprovoked pit bull attack.
And once again, thankfully, a grand jury moves quickly to indict the owner of the pit bull.
This time it’s former NFL linebacker Steve Foley, who now lives in Richmond, TX:
“It was a tragic accident and Mr. Foley is very sorry that his neighbor and friend was injured, but these dogs were his pets. They had no previous history of aggression,” Nugent said.
The indictment, a third-degree felony, was unsealed Wednesday. Foley is accused of failing to secure the dogs, which made an unprovoked attack on a neighbor on the afternoon of March 26, according to court documents. The neighbor, Twana Schulz, suffered serious bodily injury when she was bitten on the arms and face, the indictment said.
Schulz, 36, was attacked outside her house on Bees Creek Court.
The dogs were seized by animal control officers and later destroyed by authorities.
Schulz was carrying the puppy, named Schinckers, when a neighbor yelled that the pit bulls were loose. Schulz headed back toward her house.
“I got to almost our sidewalk when they attacked us,” she said shortly after the attack.
Schulz tried to hold onto the puppy, but the pit bulls jerked it from her hands and killed it.
Another owner who I’m sure would swear up and down that “My pit bull is the sweetest dog in the world. It would never hurt anybody.”
Idiot.
3-2-1…until the moron pit bull owners show up to defend their dangerous and moronic choice in dogs. They’ll of course break out the “it’s not the breed, it’s the owner” lie.
Uh huh.
You see…I’ve got a big ‘ol Yellow Lab. That dog loves to swim and retrieve. In fact, thousand and thousands of generations of Labs were bred for these traits and instincts.
No matter how good of an owner I am, no matter how well I train and raise and love my Yellow Lab — he will always retain the instinct to swim and fetch.
Just like a pit bull has been bred for its aggression and fighting instincts. And no matter how good of an owner you are, no matter how much you love your pit bull — you will never. NEVER. be able to train away what was bred into him.
So, defend your dog choice all you want. There really is only one type of person that owns pit bulls: thugs and thug-wanna be’s (yeah, I know that’s two types, but they’re close enough to be counted as one).
I hope to see a lot more of these quick indictments from grand juries. But even more so, I hope to see some stiff jail time for the owners as a result of these indictments.
It’s time.
My idea is not to destroy all the pit bulls, as is often done after a vicious attack, but to neuter them all, and let the breed just go away.
[Editor --- I think neutering the owners, too, would be not a bad idea.]
