A neighbors pitbull attacked my livesotck. The dog was still bloody from the attack when the police arrived and wrote the report. The owner begged me not proceed with the legal actions as it was a family pet. Their children loved the dog and it normally stayed in the house. Apparently they only let it out to attack the neighborhood animals. Pitbull owners really believe it is ok to keep these animals around their kids even with a police report in their hand. They were going to pay the fines and borrow money to feed their kids. I did drop the charges as I was sure they would only replace it with a new dog. An additional point, most major homeowner insurance carriers will not allow these breeds. It can void your coverage. Spread to ban to include Rottweilers.
