ot..dog owners..wtf?

Some people should just not have them.

Some nutter gets his arm chewed of by his own dog, then goes walking with 6 dogs, 5 of which were American bulldogs, and even wih 2 arms, doubtful he could handle them, let alone with one.

Anyhow they get away and attack some folks..

Really man, wtf?






A DOG breeder whose arm had to be amputated after he was savaged by his own American bulldogs has been bailed after his dogs reportedly attacked two other people.

Forty-eight-year-old Stephen Potts, from Pittington, lost his right arm after being mauled by the dogs in a “vicious and brutal” attack.

He was now been arrested after his dogs allegedly attacked another man and his Staffordshire bull terrier in the Coniston Close area of Belmont, Durham, yesterday afternoon.

Man suffered serious head injuries after being attacked by six dogs – breeder who recently lost arm arrested

Police were called to reports of five American bulldogs attacking a man on fields in an area between Pittington and Belmont known locally as ‘the scrambles’ around 1pm.

Potts was arrested at the scene on suspicion of failing to keep his dogs under proper control. He was questioned at Durham city police station and has now been bailed until late November, pending further enquiries.

The injured man, a 63-year-old from Belmont, was taken by ambulance to the University Hospital of North Durham (UHND) where he remains with serious non-life threatening injuries to his head and leg.

Police believe the incident unfolded when Stephen Potts and a friend, a woman in her late 60s from Sedgefield, were walking his dogs when they began fighting with the victim’s bull terrier.

The owner intervened and was bitten. The woman was also bitten on the leg but did not require hospital treatment.

Initial reports suggested a third person had also been injured but police now say this was not the case.

The Staffordshire bull terrier was seriously injured in the incident and remains in the care of a local vet.

Neighbourhood Chief Inspector for Durham Andy Huddleston said “I can confirm the 48-year-old man owns 14 American bulldogs in total and although only five were involved in this incident, all 14 have been taken to local kennels as a safety precaution.

“This is an ongoing investigation and my officers will be in the local area speaking with people as we work to establish exactly what happened yesterday.”

“After the events of yesterday, clearly questions are being asked about this man’s ability to control his animals and this will form part of our investigation.

“The dogs are legally held, in that they are not categorised as dangerous dogs under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.

“However, under new legislation introduced only this week, new options are available including a local authority public space protection order.

“I would like to reassure people that all available options will be considered.”

Anyone with information can contact police on 101.

I did a thread about the first incident. Its round my neck of the woods. The blokes an idiot. The sooner he has them taken away the better. Couldn't control the dogs with two arms.

I thinks its actually the third time he's had police out.

 

Daft arses that get dogs like that, trying to be big bollocks 'I've got the hardest dog'.

Dog owners need screening before being allowed to own a pet, that way you'd not get nuggets like stumpy here who can't handle himself, trying to get some mutt to do his dirty work.

 

He should be banned from owning dogs simple as that. And jail time.

 

you're right marra it is the third time.that incident resulted in a mate of mine killing one of his dogs with a shotgun

 

Confused by this post..

 

The incident i'am referring to happened a few years ago,it never reached the local media but i can assure you it happened

 

Ok mate, but i'm still non the wiser about what you are talking about.

 

The same person was again walking with his dogs in a field where my mate had shooting rights.and once again they were out of control and attacked my mates old dog,after numerous pleas to control them without success he blasted one,the police were called but there was nothing he could do about it as he was on private land

 

The same person in the op?

 

yip

 

The dog owner was in the Chronicle, he looks as thick as pig ****.

 

Right, now i'm with you..

The bloke must be a nutter, and should never have dogs.

 

He's a tit

 

Certain breeds of dog need to be banned. Particularly these American bulldogs. I am fully with anyone who says that the owners are the problem, not the dog. The problem is that these dogs will ALWAYS be the dogs of choice for people trying to look like billy big balls and who won't give any proper training to the animal. Sadly the only resolution is a total ban on these kind of dogs and massive penalties for anyone found contravening the laws.

 

So long as they don't ban Staffie's I intend to own one one day.

 

Agreed who needs dogs like that , just some low life numb skulls who use them as protection

 

Time and time again you will get some people saying that their pitbull's soft as clarts etc...And time and time again there are examples of these dogs changing at the drop of a hat and mauling someone, often kids as well...Get rid of all dangerous dogs then it won't happen...

 

But define a dangerous dogs Raw. All dogs? You can train a Chihuahua to go for the jugular and cause damage, even fatal. Spiting a breed will do **** all, they'll just find another breed to use like they always have done.

 

I define dangerous dogs as those where the breed has been designed that way...Some of these dogs are extremely powerful and virtually unstoppable once they turn..
