Classic arguments that the courts have already thought of....bottom line? WALKING YOUR DOG OFF THE LEASH IS ILLEGAL! As such, anyone who criticizes criminals and walks their dog without a leash is a hypocrite. If you want to let your dog off the leash, move away from the city. God help you

These studies are helpful.
According to one study, certain breeds are far more likely to bite than others. German Shepherds are common biters. Labradors rarely bite. Ofcourse, Breed is not the only relevant factor. Sex is also highly relevant. In general, Male dogs are more likely to be biters. http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/duip/dog3.pdf According to this other study, "Several interacting factors affect a dog?s propensity to bite, including: - heredity - sex - early experience, - socialization and training - health (medical and behavioral), - reproductive status, - quality of ownership and supervision - victim behavior" http://www.cdc.gov/ncipc/duip/dogbreeds.pdf However, as it relates to fatal attacks, they found that "Rottweilers were the most commonly reported breed involved in fatal attacks, followed by pit bull-type dogs. Together, these 2 breeds were involved in approximately 60% of human deaths." Therefore, I think there is ABSOLUTELY a correlation between a dog's breed and the chances it will bite someone. That is not to say that a certain breed WILL certainly bite someone, just that they are more likely to bite. Breed is one of several relevant factors.

Quote: i'd be remiss if i didn't start by saying that german shepherd's are not a guardian breed, they are herding dogs. to continue with the idea of guard dogs - there is a line between guarding and unbridled aggression. rottweilers for example, a common guardian breed, are bred to guard their home/family/whatever from strangers and intruders. they are not bred to indiscriminately attack anyone they come across. breeds do have tendencies based on their original use. i could be wrong but i think what jaah37 is trying to convey is that these dogs, to use a relevant example, are not allegedly aggressive simply because they are boerboels (which is their correct breed).

She means breed them for temperament, not train them. There are just dogs out there that are programmed genetically to be mean and aggressive, no mater what kind of upbringing they have. There are also dogs that are genetically programmed to be more sedate and playful. Generally you don't want to be breeding dogs that are super aggressive, because guess what, most likely you'll be getting super aggressive dogs when they're born.

Bad dog owners to blame again. Problem dogs always have a history of attacks before their owners finally wise up to the problem or the gov intervenes. Remember that dog that attacked the illegal immigrant who was working outside the home? The owners said that the dog was gentle and only attacked because it felt it's owner threaten, and made a big show to not have the dog put to sleep only to backtrack when the same dog and the other dogs in the home attacked grandma! lunawolf3, thanks to you people like this lady are giving more options to keep their dogs. You supported the move to save Congo by former assemblyman now child sex predator Neil Cohen to make it harder for the gov to get rid of clearly problematic dogs.

With platforms being at a fixed length limiting the amount of carriages, the only solution I see is the removal of all seats to squeeze in more commuters.

From my understanding, the majority of dogs (prue and muts) are breed for financial gain on puppy farms or dog farms - breed them, then get rid of them after 'x' amount of weeks from birth.
Most people want pups, so there wouldn't be too much time to work on their temperament.

good breeders will work on a specific temperament aside from just perfecting the look of the dog.

I'll be the first to admit that I know nothing about dog breeding, but this doesn't make logical sense to me. If a dog is bred, for example, to be a guard dog, like a German Shepherd, won't that dog breed be more aggressive than one bred to, say, be a lap dog?

Theres a little spot on Bergen Ave by Journal Square across the street from the post office. Theres also the Indian neighborhood going down Newark Ave from Kennedy Blvd. There are some very pretty sari shops and fabrics for reasonable prices.
Then theres always the garment district in NYC 40th-37th streets between 8th ave & Broadway. Good luck

jaah, don't under estimate the role genetics play in a dog's temperament. while many dogs are simply the products of their environment, there are dogs that are born with aggressive temperaments.

What an old hag. She blamed passing snow plows on the attack and claimed that if the dogs wanted to they could've ripped his arms off.

Quote:
I respectfully disagree. Dogs are not born agressive or dominant. They develop these behaviors when owners do not take the time to or improperly correct their dogs. Each time a dog misbehaves their is a opportunity presented to correct and train the dog. If the owners correction is done out of anger the dog will become more frustrated and aggressive, if the correction is too passive the dog won't respect the owner and place themselves as the pack leader. Dogs want to be lead by their owners but if not done properly THEY will take the lead role. Owners must correct their dogs everytime a situation presents itself with calm-assertive energy, if too many opportunities are missed then obedience problems arise. However ,I will agree with the fact that sometime owners and breeds can be mismatched. As in this unfortunate incident, 1 average size woman walking 2- 200lb (or whatever their weight was) dogs is not a good match. The woman and prob. alot of people for that matter prob couldn't handle them. So I ask, is that the dogs fault?

Giving your Lab a huge backyard so your dog doesn't "turn" is not enough to ensure a happy, healthy and well behaved dog. In Nature: Dogs experience the world by walking. They have to earn food and water by migrating in search of it. At Home: You can recreate this experience at home by taking your dog on a walk before providing food and water in the morning. It gives your dog three things vital to her happiness: 1) a chance to bond with you, the pack leader, 2) much-needed primal exercise, and 3) a "migration ritual" that offers a sense of purpose. Dogs need new sights, sounds and smells.

Boy, I work around the corner from this place. I've only been there once. It is brand new and looks real nice. But, if we are not safe in broad daylight in a busy restaurant, ...
--------------------------------------------------------------------- Cops: Teen, buddy mugged in broad daylight in Journal Square McDonald's Posted by mschmidt January 22, 2009 16:09PM A 14-year-old Jersey City boy and his friend were robbed by a man who put him in a headlock and demanded their money inside a Journal Square fast food restaurant yesterday morning, police said today. The boy and his mother went to police at 12:30 p.m. and he told them he and his friend were in McDonald's at 11:30 a.m. when a man in put him in a headlock and said, "Run your pockets," reports said. The boy handed over $6 and his friend handed over $10, reports said. The victim described the robber as being about 30 years old, very dirty and possibly homeless, reports said. They said the man was wearing dark jeans, dark shoes and a black hooded sweatshirt with silver icons on the hood. His hair was pulled back in a ponytail, reports said. It's not clear based on the police report if customers in the restaurant saw what was happening or if anyone came to the boys' aid. Francisco Barahona, manager of the McDonald's, told The Jersey Journal this afternoon that the staff didn't see the robbery but it was captured on store security video and a copy was given to police. "We saw the kids eating on the table and one guy was sitting on the side and he got up and got close to them," Barahona said. "He looked like he was talking to them but it looks like he robbed them." Police went to Journal Square to look for the man but he was gone, reports said. Anyone with information on the incident is asked to call the Jersey City Police Department tipline at (201) 547-JAIL. http://www.nj.com/hudson/index.ssf/20 ... buddy_mugged_in_broa.html

What the heck is a person owning 2 huge dogs in JC anyway. Does she need them for protection, or own a chop shop or a garage or something. Why have vicious dogs in a confined apartment????? Animals are not like a disney movie. They need space and when the owners think, "well im a good person i can take care of them", then the animals flip because they have morans not training them and giving these large creatures space to roam. Im an animal lover and I know my Lab can turn and I give her a huge backyard. Morans, they have to get those dogs out of there and 3x's your our. By law the dogs have to be put down. they should have been put down the first time.
