he must hiding the dog somewhere

Might have buried it. The court will not be happy with him if he doesn't say where it is, it will increase his sentence and increase his penalty. He probably won't say because he has killed it inhumanly.

If you know where the owner of the Pitbull lives you could report it to the Animal Control Department at..

Or you could try the local Police. Merseyside Police have been very pro-active in removing/investigating Pitbulls since the death of the little toddler in Liverpool last year. There is a problem in Egremont in Wallasey with irresponsible dog owners who have their Pitbulls and Pitbull Crosses off the lead.. it isnt safe to take a dog out round here because there is always the danger of running into pitbulls and their 'chavvy' owners locally because there are that many. The problem of these dangerous dogs is the main reason why I dont have a dog anymore.. A year or so ago I heard of an Elderly lady who saw a pitbull cross running toward her yorkshire terrier on the promenade... she picked up her 'yorkie' to get him out of the way of the dog and the owner deliberately set his pitbull on the dog in the womans arms... the Yorkshire terrier had to have its leg amputated and the poor lady was terrified beyond belief...

very disappionted with you Tilly, i thought you were better than that.

All dogs muzzled in public places, though i would like to see the breeding out of some breeds and in about 15 years there would be no sign of them. Some breeds no longer have a use in present day society, what they were originally bred for no longer exists. I don't go along with, you have to be a bad owner to have a bad dog, i know it doesn't help, certain breeds being in the wrong hands, but that doesn't say dogs in good hands can't turn, as it has been proven time and time again. If a heavy fine was involved for unmuzzled dogs and an incentive provided to report anyone with a unmuzzled dog in public, it may stop dog attacks in the public domain. It may seem hard on those who think they have good dogs and are good owners, but we all have to make sacrifices to make our lives and the lives of children safer.

I'm sorry for the girls loss

If I was walking my dog and some irrisponsible chav let his dog attack mine I would not hesitate to do whatever it takes to get his dog off mine. I would litterally try and kill it!

I don't care if you don't like that idea but I would treat it as if it was attacking my daughter. Some peoples pets are like family, and if someone/something tried to hurt any of them then god help them.

Yesterday I saw a young teenage lad walking a large intimidating dog and making it attack a fallen tree on a road by my control room. I watched him via CCTV as the dog ripped branches off and moved to the trunk of the tree. He then started jumping on the trunk ragging the dogs head around. After a while h got bored and walked on but the dog continued to bite the tree. He shouted the dog but it just ignored him. So he walked up to it and punched it in the side of the head/ear. The dog let out an almighty yelp (I heard it inside my building some 35metres away). The dog walked behind him up the path for a while and then got infront of him only to be punched again in the head.

I think a separate authority should be set up to observe dog owners like this, I don't think the police do enough to combat it at all. I don't know if it is a case of too much paperwork? Rather keep patrolling for a more serious crime? Got to meet targets elsewere? Simpley can't be bothered? Don't know what powers to use agaisnt the dog owner?. I just don't know
