Re: Pitbull Attack Turns Floor into a Pool of Blood
From: http://www.safetyarounddogs.org/paparazzi.html Media Bias: The Pit Bull Paparazzi Consider how the media reported four incidents that happened between August 18th and August 21st, 2007. A study by the National Canine Research Council reveals biased reporting by the media, its devastating consequences for dogs and the toll it takes on public safety. Said Kris Crawford and Kristine Crawford of For Pits Sake August 18, 2007 - A Labrador mix attacked a 70-year-old man sending him to the hospital in critical condition. Police officers arrived at the scene and the dog was shot after charging the officers. This incident was reported in one article and only in the local paper. August 19, 2007 - A 16-month old child received fatal head and neck injuries after being attacked by a mixed breed dog. This attack was reported two times by the local paper only. August 20, 2007 - A 6-year-old boy was hospitalized after having his ear torn off and receiving severe bites to the head by a medium-sized mixed breed dog. This attack was reported in one article and only in the local paper. August 21, 2007 - A 59-year-old woman was attacked in her home by two Pit bulls and was hospitalized with severe injuries. This attack was reported in over two hundred and thirty articles in national and international newspapers, as well as major television news networks, including CNN, MSNBC and FOX. "Clearly a fatal dog attack by an unremarkable breed is not as newsworthy as a non-fatal attack by a pit bull" says Karen Delise, researcher for the National Canine Research Council. People routinely cite media coverage as “proof” that pit bulls are more dangerous than other dogs. Costly and ineffective public policy decisions are being made on the basis of such "proof". While this biased reporting is not only lethal to an entire population of dogs; sensationalized media coverage endangers the public by misleading them about the real factors in canine aggression. Sensationalism has replaced common sense. Attacks by non-pit bull dogs are rarely taken up by national or international media sources. |

Re: Pitbull Attack Turns Floor into a Pool of Blood
from: http://www.americanhumane.org/animals/stop-animal-abuse/fact-sheets/dog-bites.html At least 25 different breeds of dogs have been involved in the 238 dog-bite-related fatalities in the U.S. Any breed of dog can bite, and research suggests BSL does little to protect the community from dog-bite incidents. |

Re: Pitbull Attack Turns Floor into a Pool of Blood
There are 2 simple ways to force the dog to open his jaw. One is going for the eyes, which can be difficult cause dogs can close their eyes shut pretty tight. Second, and I'm sure many will find it funny if not stupid, is to grab his nose. Not just grab as in pinch it or hurt it. Just grab it and squeeze it. Dogs breathe on their nose more than on their mouth, closing that airways forces the dog to pull back automatically. If you don't believe me try it on your dog. Or try blowing in your dogs nose, he wont like it cause when you blow directly in it he can't breathe properly (that and you need a mint or two). |

Re: Pitbull Attack Turns Floor into a Pool of Blood
I bet he was an abusive owner...eye gouge that dog instead of holding it's scruff and he would have let go at least for a split second...
