Subject: [TheGermanShepherdDog] Dog Fighting In La


We have a problem here in Louisiana..Dog fighting and Rooster
fighting,,(thingy) is LEGAL in La. Dog fighting is not.
This is getting out of hand..Just the other day I was walking my 1 y/o
German Shepherd and we were attacked by a pit bull who had training to
fight.
He attcaked my dog first and when I picked him up by hs collar to get
him off my dog the collar broke and he went after me.He met his match
with me..30 years in Tae Kwon Do saved me...I had to kill him..He
grabbed my leg and was trying to take me down. I grabbed his scruff and
held him in one hand and put my leash on my leg to holdmy dog and I
began hitting the pit in the throat and nose with everything I had.My
right arm feels likeit is till on fire with much pain..But I saved my
dog and my self.

My dog loves all dogs and he is not mature yet to defend him self at 1
year..He had no idea why this dog was not friendly like most dogs.

Every time I walk my dogs I get asked by some IDIOT that is walking his
pit if I want to fight my dogs.I tell them,,how abuot we fight.That
usually pisses them off or scares them.

I aint scared of nothing...I would fight a pit again if I had to save my
self or my dog(s)
Want to know how to kill an attacking dog with your bare hands..e-mail
me..
Anyway please sign this.

oh ga-reat, I am heading for LA soon (New Orleans)
I dont think I will be walking Sash much after reading this as he is 4 yr old and will take on any dog if he thought it was threatening ME. I will sign it but sometimes certain states have people with certaiin mindsets , my fiance says that when he is out looking at houses for sale, etc he sees alot of Pitbulls in the City Ugg sorry, I dont like them!!
Glad your dog and you are OK, please be careful. I know if one would attack Sashi boy, Id have to get in the middle as I know once they latch on, they dont let go.
Ive heard that here up in N FL they have alot of illegal dogfighting going on, it is so disgusting.

Before moving to Oregon I lived in an Trenton, NJ dog find is an epidemic there. I had Rottweilers at the time and dog fighting jerk would ask about fighting my dogs. I answered in a similar way as well.

I use to walk with an axe handle just the handle no axe. They are pretty indestructable. I had to swing it at a few dogs but fortunately I never had to hurt anyone of them severely, though I would have.

I'm moving this to Dogs in The News, for greater visibility.

That's a good way to get yourself crippled.

Attack the other dog from the back or rear. A firearm would be ideal, but an axe or a club will work. Anything much lighter may just shift the focus of the attack to you. Sever the spine, and then dispatch the animal at your liesure.

[Amara]

;DHEY , YOU R RIGHT... THAT'D PROBABLY BE STUPID TO PUT MYSELF BETWEEN MY GSD & THE PIT....BUT I USUALLY DO CARRY A FIREARM, SO I'D PROBABLY JUST SHOOT IT..... I WAS TRYING TO BE DIPLOMATIC & EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE MY DOG....BUT U R CORRECT...SEE YA........AMARA

[Currmudgeon]

I WAS TRYING TO BE DIPLOMATIC & EXPRESS HOW MUCH I LOVE MY DOG

Lawd! I can appreciate that.

But please don't type in all caps. It's hard to read and comes across as shouting.

Keep a straight trigger finger!

[Amara]

;DHey, trigger finger straight....Sorry!!!! about the caps. I was @ work & trying to hurry & check messages, you know, suppose to actually be working & not playing around on the computer... ......Amara!

T'sOK

The thing I hate is when I inadvertently have the capslock on, and caps and LC are then inverted.
