Euler Posted February 8, 2023 at 10:20 PM Share Posted February 8, 2023 at 10:20 PM CWBChicago CWBChicago said: No charges are expected to be filed against a man who shot two dogs in Lakeview, prompting a large Chicago police response on Tuesday afternoon. In a statement issued tonight, CPD said the 53-year-old man shot the dogs after they "continued to advance toward him in an aggressive manner" while off their leashes. Police said a 45-year-old woman was walking the dogs in the 1000 block of West Oakdale around 1:45 p.m. when they rushed toward the man as he entered the alley from a nearby residence. He stepped back, but they continued to advance, prompting the man to shoot them "in fear for his safety." Officers locked down the neighborhood after witnesses reported that a man shot two dogs and ran into a nearby apartment building. A SWAT team searched the building, and officers contacted the man around 6 p.m. They determined that he was properly licensed to own and carry concealed firearms, the source said. ... Harriet Tubman Elementary School, 2851 North Seminary, went on a soft lockdown as the incident began, but students were released after class.

MrTriple Posted February 8, 2023 at 10:22 PM Share Posted February 8, 2023 at 10:22 PM (edited) A SWAT response? Seriously? Reminds me of the time where SWAT responded to reports of gunshots on the CTA, which turned out to be a door loudly slamming.

Bubbacs Posted February 9, 2023 at 01:20 AM Share Posted February 9, 2023 at 01:20 AM Think this is the same one but a woman was comforting one of the dogs and it bite her in the nose and hand? She stated that it wasn’t the dogs fault as it was injured and scared and dogs respond this way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundguy Posted February 9, 2023 at 02:10 AM Share Posted February 9, 2023 at 02:10 AM I have ways of dealing with loose dogs that do not involve shooting or injuring them... Cheers, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fxdpntc Posted February 9, 2023 at 06:42 AM Share Posted February 9, 2023 at 06:42 AM According to ABC the dogs were a “pitbull mix”. One of the many reasons I have a CCL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2A4Cook Posted February 9, 2023 at 09:16 AM Share Posted February 9, 2023 at 09:16 AM He's lucky he was able to shoot two of them as they rushed him. The owner needs to be charged. People who walk dogs without leashes or can't control them while leashed should not be allowed to own them. Ten bucks says she buys another pit bull.

Bitter Clinger Posted February 9, 2023 at 02:56 PM Share Posted February 9, 2023 at 02:56 PM Pitbulls that are raised right seem to be OK. I have a family member who had three pitbulls. One they raised as a puppy and he was as sweet as could be. The other two were rescues and were vicious. One of them attacked a jogger in front of their house, the other one killed both their cats.

Dr Duke Posted February 12, 2023 at 07:59 PM Share Posted February 12, 2023 at 07:59 PM Many pits are "raised right", loved by their owners and treated as members of the family. They are great dogs... until they are not. I remember this case since it was on the local news. https://blog.dogsbite.org/2014/01/2014-dog-bite-fatality-child-dies-in-bloomington-pit-bull-fatality.html Not everyone who smokes gets lung cancer. However, most people with lung cancer were smokers. Obviously not every pitbull attacks but most people who get killed by dogs get killed by pits. Pits kill more people in the US every year than all other breeds of dogs combined. Here is the breakdown for 2019. https://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2019.php Pits came in at number 1 with 33 kills. Number 2 is mixed breeds with 6 kills. (Keep in mind this include pit mixes.) Rottweilers came in 3rd with 4 kills. I am glad the man in lakeview was able to defend himself and wont face charges. It is a shame the dog owner wont be charged and will be allowed to buy another pit or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yettiblood Posted February 12, 2023 at 09:18 PM Share Posted February 12, 2023 at 09:18 PM Pits are super high energy dogs and if they don’t get it out the right way they’ll find ways to get their pent up energy out and it’s usually bad. I’m on my third pitbull and have never had aggression problems. (Yet). The male I have now (his name is Tater) goes to doggie daycare twice a week to socialize and blow off steam, I take him to Farm-and-Fleet every weekend and took him through 20 obedience sessions. The problem is, there are too many pitbulls and backyard breeders, too much inbreeding, and way too many stupid humans on the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'm a bleeding heart, I don't want to imagine not being able to hear my buddy's barks/noises/howls. Just seems excessively cruel/invasive imo. Don't like it, don't have a dog. There are ways to train around it/minimize it. But dog's do what dog's do.. Bark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitter Clinger Posted February 13, 2023 at 01:56 PM Share Posted February 13, 2023 at 01:56 PM Debarking is sick. I'm surprised that you can find vets that will do it. If you have issues with your dog barking, spend time to train it out of them or get a bark collar instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
