Dog Defense Warnings: Dog COMMs

Opinion

More on Dogs:

Many sage comments received from my last Quip: What Is The Most Dangerous Threat? One You May “See” But Erroneously Discount.

Here are some points that should be added:

1) Do not insert yourself in between fighting dogs!

Attempting to break up a dogfight physically by intervening with your own body is pretty much a guarantee of severe bodily injury (to you). Naive dog owners are profoundly injured this way every day.

Spraying fighting dogs with OC may break up the battle, but not always. However, the tactic does “work” often enough for me to recommend carrying OC, particularly when you’re walking your dog.

However, if you are walking your dog (on a leash) and it is suddenly attacked by other dogs (not on a leash), for your own safety, you may have to let go of the leash, quickly withdraw, and “write off” your dog.

Better that your dog is killed than you!

2) Dog assaults usually involve more than one attacking dog!

Dogs are pack animals and extremely territorial, so they’ll often “gang up” on a victim (a human and/or another dog) that they perceive (rightly or wrongly) to be a threat to their territory.

3) When attacked by dog(s), don’t expect anyone to come to come to your aid. You’re probably going to have to handle the whole affair by yourself!

Passers-by, motorists, neighbors, and even owners of the attacking dog(s) all may witness your ordeal and may even call the police, but immediate, direct intervention by any nearby person is unlikely.

By the time police arrive, you’ll either be dead, or there’ll be several dead/dying dogs lying around.

You’ll probably have suffered significant injury, either way!

4) Squatters, living in dilapidated “campers,” sometimes in tents, use dogs (almost always pit bulls) as “protection” from police, anguished and fearful neighbors, other squatters, and other dogs.

These criminals typically “squat” in public parks, side streets, parking lots, and even on private property.

Falsely referred to as “RV Campers” by leftist politicians and their media puppets, these squatters quickly and disastrously degrade entire neighborhoods.

Inadequate sanitation, perpetual idleness, prostitution, domestic violence, thievery, foul odors, and illegal drugs are invariably Indigenous to these “encampments.”

Also, Indigenous are pit bulls!

Don’t expect liberal politicians to do anything (aside from lip service) about these squalid, unsanitary, and illegal encampments, nor about their invariable menagerie of dangerous dogs!

Almost all of these squatters already have multiple outstanding felony warrants on them. They’re not concerned! Most have been arrested dozens of times. They’re thoroughly acquainted with “The System,” and they’re confident police aren’t really going to do anything.

When their cadre of pitbulls is impounded, euthanized, or runs away, they’ll just get more, and nothing will change!

5) Go armed, particularly when walking your dog!

Your personal presence may not enrage nearby pit bulls, but your dogs surely will!

In order to dissuade/disable an attacking dog, multiple immediate fatal hits from your pistol may be necessary.

Don’t expect the offending dog(s) to collapse on the spot. More likely, they’ll just wander away, even after being mortally wounded.

Hit whatever part of the dog you can, but neck and shoulders represent the best targets. Once the dog’s mobility is compromised, he’ll be far less dangerous than before, and you’ll then have time and space to consider additional options.

6) When your precise application of deadly force is thus acutely necessary in order to preserve your life and health, don’t expect to be thanked!

Do expect withering criticism from the media, neighbors, and especially the dog owner.

Do expect to hear (endlessly) about the way you should have “de-escalated” and how those cute little dogs really weren’t going to hurt you after all, all this from the mouths of professing “experts” (who weren’t there).
