This incident can be seen as the first reported hence it’s not the first to happen in this area. We are here to find out to be given a report from the police to since the incident, what have they done. We got reports that they arrested the owner but we are not sure because we must be told by the police” say the residents.

Yes send them to dog prison

The dog’s owner should be punished .

And the stigmatization of this breed, continues! Why, suddenly, have these cases popped up over the past few weeks? Much like young, fit people are dropping dead, post jabs .. but that doesn’t make it on MSM!

Mob jive justice should be administered against pit bulls’owners within the wink of an eye.
