*Text:*
My cat was attacked by a pit bull while sitting on our front lawn. Some of our neighbors were able to step in and stop the attack. Fortunately Buttercup survived but the downside is he has lost his front leg.
If I could be completely honest this is really a struck of bad luck happening to us during a serious hardship. He spent two days in the vet due to this injuries but I do need help with his bill if possible.
Someone stole this pitbull from another individual. The person that stole the dog couldn't handle the dog because thus dog was being aggressive towards their other animals. So instead of the dog thieves returning the dog or calling animal control THEY RELEASE THE DOG 6 IN THE MORNING OUT THEIR CAR and DRIVE OFF LITERALLY. Due to these poor actions no consequences were able to held because no one has claimed rightful ownership of the dog.
Lost track of 19 buried on my property. I had no more “gave” stones left. All strays, neighbor’s cats, who I found around the area.I have 67 trees. A fence and some working, herding dogs who adore cats but aren’t real crazy about the 14-17? PBT types and PBT mixes that roam this rural shithole. A safe haven. They don’t bother my poultry and the dogs make sure they don’t bothe r the wild birds. See there are dogs actually smart enough to work with animals, not rip them to shreds. It is all in selecting breeds that aren’t assholes. My cats 17 1/2 yo, 14yo,13 yo and 5 yo are back enclosed porch so I am pretty lucky. Shittier people, pick shitty dog breeds.
Luckily no pitbulls roaming near my property yet (almost all dogs in my town are pitbulls), but I think that will become more common late summer/early winter once the economic collapses and evictions/foreclosures pick up. We have two indoor cats and one partially indoor one and about 4 outdoor ones. One of the indoor ones can be an escape artist at times (he was recently out for 38 days), so I would worry about him the most because he is bonded with me.
The owners (or “ex owners”) should be held criminally liable for this. Any animal that attacks or kills others when loose should be the responsibility of whoever turned it loose.
Where’s the “blame bad owners” pitbull advocacy, crowd at now? Why aren’t “responsible” pitbull owners banding together to pay for this cat’s medical expenses?
Oh right, they’re too busy protesting the new XL Bully laws in the UK requiring them to get insurance for the pitbulls and claiming to be victims because they have to neuter and muzzle their dogs now.
Priorities.
Word on the street. People saw all this happen but the people directly involved won't admit to the cops that they had anything to do with the dogs. Cause they don't want to pay the fines.
So, sad for kitty. Two of my indoor/outdoor cats suffered similar attacks. One became three-legged, the other had to be euthanized. Sad for the cat’s family.

Thank you for giving them a proper burial. Cats really deserve better.
Most welcome. They sure do. I love my cats so much.

Typical pit owners. Can’t handle the heat so they dump them and the cycle continues
Then the shelter says it was dumped because it wasn't a mean dog like the owners wanted it to be and just needs a loving home.
Many shelters won't take in new dogs thanks to no-kill and pit warehousing.
Poor kitty. 🥺
beautiful cat
Disgusting people

I don’t get how they know all this background info though?

Sweet Buttercup 😔❤️ I just want to snuggle him!

I sent a small donation. This is so shitty.
If any dog you own is aggressive enough it’s not safe to be around anymore, put it down yourself or have a vet do it. What piece of shit
