No Surprises Here....

West Midlands Police were alerted to a dog described as an American Pit Bull attacking a Rottweiler dog in the Woodgate area of Birmingham on Saturday 18th November.
And by 'alerted' we can guess they looked up briefly, shrugged and the radio, and carried on reading the paper....
After a while, a man described as tall, white, of medium build, aged between 20 to late 20s, wearing a baseball cap, red zip up jacket and matching sports trousers, ran towards Tasia and David, trying to get the dog off them.
The man claimed to be the owner of the dog that reached the man’s shoulders when on it’s hind legs – he also claimed he’d only had the dog for a short while from a rescue centre and it had slipped a choke chain.
Once the man managed to slip the choke chain on the dog, it is said that he had no control of the dog and it still tried to attack.
Where were the police? Nowhere.
Myfanwy explained: “I treated her for shock. She attempted to stand but went rigid and fell into a convulsion. She then had a stroke and could no longer stand or comprehend what was happening to her.”
They had to stretcher Tasia into the vets, they were told she’d had a fit, stroke and massive internal damage to her stomach area.
Nor was the dog the only victim.
Fortunately David didn’t require medical treatment, however he did sustain severely bruised arms and chest from defending both himself and Tasia.
Dangerous dog, person injured, family pet killed...and no arrests made? Welcome to that new DDA that the police said they needed to 'take action'...

Where were the police Julia? Not in the park at the exact second the incident took place? Why aren't they on every street corner just in case one shit-machine attacks another?
Lazy policing? Lazy blogging.
2/10,must try harder. At least mentions painting fingernails, chasing dead celebrities or arresting people for offensive tweets.
Jaded.

Pit Bull vs. Rottweiler. Red on red in my consideration. Shame they weren't both killed.

"2/10,must try harder."

Tell that to the grandmother mauled by a Presa Canario in Bolton today. Police haven't even arrested the owner! Lazy, incompetent and careless. They don't deserve 2 out of ten.

"Pit Bull vs. Rottweiler. Red on red in my consideration."

Except the Rottie was elderly & well trained, owned by responsible dog owners.
