Gabby Giffords family has an "assault dog" it just killed a baby seal.

[Danno 1,228]

For ten horrific minutes the Giffords dog latched on to a baby seal and would not release even after he had killed it.

Thank God it wasn't another child.... is it time to regulate "Assault dogs"?

There are plenty of areas that already regulate dogs with a reputation for violence. Have you never heard of a pit-bull ban before?

There's a reason animal shelters are full of them. People are a) afraid of them b) uninformed about the breed or c) not allowed to own them.

Sounds like the seal had it coming.

Yeah both those are State by State or even county laws..... we need federal action, perhaps a registry

for people who buy or transfer these dangerous dogs.

Too easy for people to bring them in from places that don't have progressive laws.

I wonder what PETA will have to say..... probably not much, you know how these Left-wing groups are, just recall Clinton and all the charges of not just assault but rape.

Oddly enough despite the numbers of women coming forward, the NOW gang suddenly embraced the concept that "Women DO lie about rape."

So trust me they won't do a Michael Vick on this irresponsible owner, perhaps a light scolding.

Dogs aren't dangerous until people teach them to be. Like guns, they need responsible owners.

[Darnell 8,478]

why would any family put a female teenager in control of an assault dog ?

I don't get it.

Wow, I would have thought your opinion of the Giffords would have been higher.

Often the owners are the ones attacked.... are you Blaming the victim again?

Thats not nice.

this is completely asinine and has nothing to do with gabby giffords, let alone a gun control argument.

and no sh*t the dog wouldn't let go - he had three people playing tug of war with him!

Why not admit it, you don't care about Baby seals or even kids.

No... the dog would and did let go once a man got on the scene.

you can take whatever cheap shot you want. still has nothing to do with gun control mr mojo.

Why do you keep talking about Gun control when no guns were even used in the Story..... we are talking about these Assault-dogs and what type of registry and limitation are needed.

[I AM NOT THAT GUY 5,715]

I'm not sure this is a good comparison. Animals have basic instincts and therefore it makes perfect sense to have dog free zones especially where wildlife is concerned. Just my opinion.

Yes. Animals usually act like animals.

most areas have local control for assault dogs. what do we need in addition, based upon the gabby giffords husband's daughter's assault dog video?

These types of dogs are moved across state lines, which makes it a federal responsibility.

And of course the paramount question is-

Why do people NEED these dogs, when there are plenty of much safer dogs available.

The Dog has 4 legs, does it really need 4 legs?

Surely it could get around on 3, or maybe 2.
