Sorry folks- and i say this as a lover of dogs-  but something is  
seriously wrong here when police will shoot and kill a man eleven times for  
wielding a gun in a threatening way but when confronted with a pit bull in the  
throws of an attack on a dog and its humans  they just "draw their guns"  and 
the dog leaves with one of it's owners??????  Is anyone else  outraged by 
this entire scenario?    WHy is this dog still  free?      The police work for 
us - please insist to  them directly that they do their jobs protecting the 
public.  Call the  shift supervisor - Baumgarten at 866-5000

Office Kevin Anderson said the police have no authority over  impounding a
dog.  Don Wilson, our Alderman, however is on the case  and trying to make
something happen today.

The officer thinks the  dog was an American Pit Bull---It was big and brown,
with a huge  head--probably about 90 lbs and once it grabbed onto our dog's
face, it was  like it's jaw locked and it would not let go.  David finally
kicked it  in the throat/jaw and it let go of Delli but continued growling
and lunging  at us, as well as the police when they came with guns drawn!
The 2 owners  were on top of it and could barely restrain.  One at least was
drunk  and belligerent and later apparently, arrested.

All this because we  went out for a peaceful night time dog
walk.............! oh,  well.
