Thanks, Andydg, you made the point I was thinking about. What about the irresponsible cat owner that let their pet wander freely? It's their fault the cat was killed. And how did the cat not escape from 2 dogs that were obviously approaching? Cats can easily climb a tree, house, or other structure to escape from dogs. Declawed you say? Then why the hell did their owner let the cat outside?

Making a blanket statement like "any dog that attacks should be killed" is ludicrous. I had a dog that was the sweetest thing towards people, but let her see an animal in the woods, be it raccoon, groundhog, deer, cat, or even skunk, and she was off on the chase. You can't expect any animal, even one that's been domesticated for thousands of years, to not have any natural tendencies - as someone else said, you can't blame dogs for being dogs.

And it's "maul".

FYI I've owned cats also.

It's sad that the cat was killed, but there is more to the story, I think, than the original poster told, or was able to tell.

well, i own a pit, and it is the nicest dog in the world, but occasionally ill take the dog outside and if there is a cat or squirrel, it will chase it and sometimes it will not respond to commands due to excitement. yes, u could say its the owners fault, nut its usually an accident. i do believe the dog should be put down, if it was on someone elses property, but if it was in my yard, no fault for the owner or dog.

funny thing is, my roomate just moved in with a cat, and my dog is ready to kill it! hopefully they get over each other and this story doesnt happen to me!!!

They'll adjust to each other over time. Neither may like it much, but the dog will learn that this cat is off limits.

I think the police should have their K9 units attack the owners.

But it's not the pets fault for goin dogystyle on some evil pussy. Leave the animals alone unless they have been trained to be mean already.

I own a Rottweiler- pit bull mix , and he too is a very sweet , very family oriented dog that I rescued as a puppy from our local Humane Society. He plays and rough houses with our 3 cats, and they all get along. We never have "trained" him to be mean or attack. The way my kids play with him, many other dogs of these breeds might go overboard and attack them. He has been raised in a good home and it shows, especially when other people have positive comments about him and his demeanor.
In a previous post in this thread I commented on cats being attacked by dogs. As reported in the news about the attacks, the cats were usually in their own fenced in yard, or on the front porch, and the dogs were instructed to attack these animals by their owners, The same was true for other dogs being attacked as they were in their own yards, or being walked on a leash by their owner.

i dont see how pet owners are held responsible for their pets actions, yet some kids get away with slashing tires and breaking windows(someone smashed the windshield of my caprice last night) and nothing happens, a slap on the wrist, no fines nothing. i even caught the kid doing it, the police did nothing they broguth him back to his parents and let them deal with him, they said i have to pursue my damages in small claims court or something. in my opinion he should be shot, BECAUSE IM PISSED OFF

They owe for your damages, pure and simple. Since the kid is under 18 (cops let him go because of it, right?) his parents are responsible.

If you have Comprehensive coverage on your insurance policy, (or it can be covered under homeowner's policy) then report it, have the insurance company fix it, then they'll go after the kid's parents.

If there's no insurance coverage, damn skippy take them to court.
