Dog Bites Man (Warning)
2004-09-01
A man whose genitals were bitten off by a pit bull remained in serious condition Tuesday, and the dog remained on the loose.
"Ouch" doesn't really seem to cover it.
The man, who has not been identified, was attacked Monday while walking the dog. When police arrived to help, the man appeared disoriented and fled on foot but police tracked him to a nearby park, said Detective Jeff Arbogast of the Albuquerque Police Department.
Just followed the trail of blood ....and screaming
The man was naked when found at the park, but it was unclear at what point he had taken off his clothes.
I really don't want to know
Neighbors had seen him playing with the dog earlier in the day.
"playing with the dog", is that what they call it in Albuquerque?
Arbogast said investigators do not know why the man was naked, and remain uncertain about some circumstances surrounding the attack.
"We're uncertain which division to assign the case to, Animal Control or Vice."
The brown pit bull remained missing Tuesday, and police warned people who see it to stay away and call animal control. A nearby elementary school was locked down following the incident and parents were called to pick up students who usually walk home. Shortly after the attack Monday, Gov. Bill Richardson released a statement saying he would proposed legislation next year aimed at holding owners of dangerous dogs accountable for their pets.
Would that be before or after you reopen the Roswell UFO files, Bill?

#13  Needless to say (then why say it?), the missing body parts in question most likely will not be recovered intact.

#12  Si, Senor, por pavor, don't be randy
Let go and you'll have no regrets
For as much as a hug
I'll call out me dog
And he'll bite off your wee castanettes!

#11  Considering that the pit bull's central fighting strategy is clamping its locking jaws onto an opponent's windpipe, this incident is different only in that the wrong length of pipe was clamped onto.

Wanna-be thugs who parade around with pit bulls may as well be toting a loaded 9mm with the safety off. Irresponsible pet owners are not the animals' fault. Morons who want to own a pit bull should have to shell out for a bond to cover potential damages, perhaps even against themselves, as this idiot so perfectly proved.

#7  Well, that's the problem with pit-bulls. They were bred as fighting dogs, and you just can't undo the many years of genetic selection because you want to have a "cool, tough dog" with a spikey collar, etc.

In terms of the bite--pit bulls are pretty short and the crotch is easy to jump up to--especially if the man was bending down at all. Once a pit-bull locks on, the construction of the jaw is "stuck"--they don't let go (it's part of the "kill" ability/strategy). This guy didn't have a chance. He probably took his clothes off due to the pain and shock of what had happened--don't know why he was totally naked, though. Poor guy.

Amateur breeders have really screwed things up regarding temperment and behavior. My advice is to stay away from pit-bulls, unless you know the breed and know how to handle them in a professional manner.

Might be a good dog in the fight against terrorism, though. Dress 'em up in pig costumes and let 'em loose on Tater's guys! : ) !
