DeKalb County Reportedly Considering Repealing Ban on Pit Bulls
AppId is over the quota
There is wide disagreement regarding whether pit bulls are inherently dangerous and unsafe animals, or whether they are simple scapegoats for irresponsible dog owners. What is not deniable is that during a five year period from 2004-2009 someone was killed in a pit bull attack approximately every 22 days according to Dogbite.org.
Despite laws regulating pit bulls in over five hundred cities, pit bull attacks accounted for almost half of all dog attack fatalities in 2009. Although the reasons that pit bulls are far more likely than other breeds to be involved in Georgia dog attacks is a point of contention, it is clear that pit bulls continue to pose a threat of disfigurement, catastrophic injury and wrongful death.
Nonetheless, the laws regarding pit bull restrictions are unsettled in Georgia. While Georgia attempted to make pit bulls illegal on a statewide basis as recently as 2005, the proposed legislation failed. DeKalb County, which is currently the only county in Georgia that prohibits pit bulls, is considering repealing its decades old ban on pit bulls according to an article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution this weekend. The repeal would be part of a broader overhaul of DeKalb County’s animal services department.
Those supporting the repeal argue that there are other dangerous dogs so the approach to preventing Georgia dog attacks should focus on specific unsafe dogs and dog owner’s who do not properly train, control and supervise their dog. This is particularly the case with dog owners that know their dog has a vicious propensity based on past behavior. It is also argued that many pit bulls that cause the DeKalb County euthanasia rate to rise pass a temperament test to be adopted but cannot be adopted out because it is believed that that they are a pit bull.
While Georgia pit bull attacks may be a function of owners who fail to take adequate precautions to protect others from vicious dogs including owners who train their dog to be aggressive, there are inherent traits that make pit bulls more likely to maul or attack a victim. Pit bulls have specific genetic traits that distinguish them including tenacity (refusal to give up without a fight), unpredictable aggressiveness, extreme tolerance for pain as well as a distinctive bite and shake style of attack. While it is true that training and other environmental factors can have a significant impact on the viciousness of a pit bull, courts have recognized these inherent characteristics of pit bulls. Pit bull attacks have been compared in uniqueness to shark attacks based on forensic medical studies.
Another characteristic of pit bull attacks that distinguishes them from other dog attacks is a high propensity to attack their owner and other family members. A study by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) found that out of 143 pit bull attacks, 19 (13.3%) involved attacks on the owners whereas only 3 (2.2%) involved the owner when compared to a similar number of the dog attacks involving other breeds. This phenomenon known as the Pit Disloyalty Phenomenon (PDP) was recognized over two decades ago by HSUS publication.
It is unclear at this point whether the law banning ownership of pit bulls in DeKalb County will be repealed, but there is little question that pit bull attacks cause horrific and debilitating injuries and wrongful death.

New study ignites debate about breed specific prohibitions of the pit bulls
University Hospital in San Antonio, TX abgeschlossen nur eine Studie, wo sie 15 Jahre im Wert von Daten über ernste Hund Biss Verletzungen kompiliert, die durch ihre Ärzte und Krankenschwestern behandelt wurden.
Den Abschluss kamen sie zu nach Überprüfung der Daten war, dass Pit Bulls Übergriffe waren eher Menschen als Angriffe durch andere Rassen von Hunden zu töten. Drei Tote im Krankenhaus aufgrund Hund Angriffe aufgetreten ist, und alle waren von Grubestiere. Sie schlossen auch, dass Pitbulls mehr schwere Verletzungen um ihre Opfer, verursachen Wenn sie angreifen und die Kosten der Verletzungen wesentlich höher sind.
Die Studie, die durchgeführt wurde, wurde vor zwei Jahren gestartet, wenn Hund Angriffe wurden zügellose und die Gesetzgeber in der Stadt Austin versuchten, lokalen Verbote für bestimmte Rassen zu veranlassen. Die Ärzte und Krankenschwestern, die die Studie veröffentlicht hatte veröffentlicht diese Kommentare in der April-Ausgabe der medizinischen Zeitschrift Annals of Surgery, "diese Rassen in die andere gefährlichen Arten, wie Leoparden, geregelt sind genauso geregelt werden sollte." Keiner der diese Verbote übergeben wurden, und lokalen Verbote dürfen nicht jetzt unter Staatsgesetz in Texas.
Ist es die Hunde oder die Eigentümer?
Inhaber und Befürworter der Rasse Grube Stier nicht einverstanden mit den Schlussfolgerungen der Studie. Viele argumentieren, dass unverantwortlich Besitzer Schuld für die gefährlicheren Pitbulls sind. Pit Bull Befürworter haben auch solche Studien in Frage, weil die Rasse häufig mit anderen Arten von Bull Terrier Rassen vermischt ist. Dr. John Bini, einer der Autoren der Studie, argumentiert, dass die Rasse gezüchtet wurde, um zu kämpfen und sie Angriffsmuster verwenden, die anderen Hunden nicht einsetzen. Diese oft ohne Vorwarnung angreifen und dann wollen nicht zu Backoff, sobald sie begonnen haben, um anzugreifen.
Die Statistiken über Pitbulls stellen nicht die Hunde in einem günstigen Licht. Laut der Studie waren im Jahr 2008 Grubestiere für 65 % aller tödlichen Hund-Angriffe in unserem Land verantwortlich. In den Bundesstaat Texas im Jahr 2007 wurden 7 Personen durch Angriffe mit pitbulls getötet. Alle 14 Tage, jemand in unserem Land wird von einer Grube-Stier getötet, und jemand verliert ein Körperteil an einen alle 5.4 Tage.
Ein Experte in Hundeverhalten, Dr. Bonnie Beaver, tierärztliche Professional zum Texas A & M zufolge die Studie fehlerhaft ist. In seinen Worten, "...[T] er Hund-bezogene Daten ernsthaft defekt ist, und dient auf wird um zu versuchen, einen bestimmten Standpunkt beweisen." Dr. Beaver versteht die Ernsthaftigkeit dieser Hund Angriffe und Hund beißt, eine nationale Task Force über die Verhütung der Hund beißt geführt haben. Er stellt fest, die er will nicht, das Problem zu verringern, aber glaubt nicht an rassespezifische Verbote.
Befürworter der Rasse argumentieren, dass wenn Grubestiere ordnungsgemäße Liebe und Ausbildung gezeigt werden, dann die Rasse friedlich unter den Menschen, Kinder und andere Haustiere Leben kann. Einige stehen auch in den Bereichen Recht und militärische Durchsetzung oder als Therapie Tiere. Oft die Leute, die diese Art der Hund wählen Sie haben ihre eigenen Themen und erwarten das Tier zu kämpfen und zu handeln aggressiv. Bande und Droge-Umgebungen können viele der Hund aggressiv Verhalten berücksichtigen.
Wann ist man angegriffen von a Dog
