What Happens When Dogs Attack a Bull

Status: Real
This series of images of two pit bulls attacking a bull are a couple of months old (though they're new to me). They recall those images of a mule attacking a mountain lion. Despite looking rather surreal (especially that one of the dog suspended in air above the bull), not to mention bizarre (what were the dogs thinking?), they are real. This scene occurred in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, outside of New Orleans, when the two pit bulls, crazed with hunger, decided that a bull would make a great dinner. They were wrong. A reporter for the Sunday Telegraph witnessed the scene:

Like a wrestling tag team, the bitch and the dog attacked with awesome ferocity, leaping at the bull's head and latching on to its muzzle. The stricken bull repeatedly shook the dogs off, flinging them up to 15 feet in the air. But they took turns to keep up the attack, exhausting the bull which was by now smeared with blood. Even after the bull trampled the bitch, leaving it dazed, the dog stepped up its attack... It was too dangerous for an unarmed witness to intervene but The Sunday Telegraph flagged down a National Guard truck. Seeing what was happening, a soldier shot the bitch in the head. The dog paused before resuming the attack. It took two bullets to stop it dead.

Pit Bulls are dangerous dogs. Shooting them was the right thing to do to keep the person taking these photographs safe from them. If they were that hungry, they were a threat.

I get sick and tired of people who are animal lovers and pitbull-ophiles protesting that pit bulls are sweet dogs and not dangerous. The statistics say otherwise. The breed was specifically honed to be a dangerous breed of very strong, very aggressive animals. You don't read about chihuahuas attacking people and killing them, because they ARE NOT PIT BULLS.

What a bunch of dumb fucks.

poor starving pitbulls. i hope the soldier who shot them got his legs blown off in iraq, and then his family back home starved to death and he committed suicide because his dick got shot off. i love pitbulls they are so cudly but they are so tough and mean when they need to be

These dogs where probably starving to death so they did what mother nature told every living meat eating creature on this planet to do.Example take a wolf attacking sheep , they do this because they have no natural pray left or very little.I own 2 pit bulls , and it all depends on how you rase them,all pit bull attacks should be seen also from the dogs perspective , how where there raised and especialy socialized , you cannot expect from a dog witch has been kept locked into a kennel (fed through the fense ) or is tied up to a dog house with 2 m autonomie to behave especialy towards new things as children ore strangers anything but normaly !!!Most of the attacks happen with negleckted or misstreated dogs , and not just with pit bulls !!!Stop thinking that agressivity is in ones blood , its the same with humans , does it mean if you come frome a family that has had people that have been boxing that all thje children of this family are agressive ore that all of them will be boxing fore life ...I dont think so 😜

Another thing here in Transilvania is another missbeleav , that dogs like German sheppeard , doberman , Rotweilers , ore Pit bulls should be shot ore euthanised after having reached 9 years old bekause there are going to go Crazy , ore at least the probablity is high , i would like to hear the western opinnion on this mater , thanks in advance !

Oh yes and an other question did you think that the Bull has survived ,ore has he also starved to death , ore what did they do after they have *saved* him ? Bring him to a shelter ?
I woud have been normal to lure the dogs away with some food then to decide about their behavior , then to take action , the Stupid reporter Stoped the vehicle of the Army they probably would have watched the show from the distance, but they have made the right choise buy taking 2 lifes in stead of saving 3. Congrats !

Cut ears or bobbed tails...oh please. I've seen fighting pits with natural ears and all of them have natural tails! Those are just starving dogs attacking a cow because they're hungry. That's all.
