 From An Animal Control Officers point of veiw
Hello I am an Animal Control Officer I work for the largest Animal Control Agency in the nation. I have read most of the responses ! Unfortunatly this is not TV and we dont all have the pleasure of being visited by the dog whisperer! I have seen many dog attacks, some provoked some not! My thoughts are this there are so many wonderful homeless animals in the nation that we have to put to sleep everyday,why own a vicious dog, these dogs attacked once they will do it again maybe next time a small child and maybe they wont be so lucky! I have seen children and adults loose their lives over attacks such as this, I feel the dogs need to be put down, you are not selfish by feeling that, but you are lucky with the amount of dogs there that you weren't hurt worse than that. You also have to look at the owner should people like this be allowed to raise such dangerous animals, animals like this take alot of time and effort in raising in a positive manner, most people dont have that kind of time, you should make sure that an Officer comes out to where the dogs live, make sure that the confinement is adequate, so the dogs dont get out again, if you see them out dont go outside call the humane society the more complaints the easier it will be to take the dogs from an irresponsible owner, Good Luck!
