Re: [Chat] Pit Bull Attack tonight in CV
I am so sorry to hear that Paul. Contact the Animal Control vicious animal group. Do you know where the animal actually resides. Did the police take the names of the dog's owners? I am out of the country until tomorrow very late but will be back if you would like to discuss this incident. I was aware of 2 such incidents on Barclay street quite a few years ago and have personal experience dealling with this issue. Best of luck, hope your partner and greyhound are not badly hurt. D.

[Chat] Follow up: tonight's dog attack and Baltimore law
The CV Chat and Discussion listserves are not seemingly sending submissions to recipients in a timely fashion for subscribers for an immediate posting (sans digest) but this is a problem for us subscribers using this venue for a current emergency alert. I'm a CV resident - but in DC during the week, but when this attack took place to my partner this evening, I had hoped everyone on the list would have been alerted (sans digest recipients). The victim of this attack, in fact, is a member of both CV list-serves, but has unfortunately relied on me forwarding both alerts and responses emails. In any event, from tonight's (WED Dec 2, 6 PM) vicious dog attack: Our 12 year old greyhound is at Ardmore for a few days, as Greg just took him there this evening - one of their vet techs is our house sitter, in fact. We're not sure of the actual house number where the dog came running off the porch, but we are within a few houses, so it won't take long - with animal registration requirements. It's also unclear if those taunting the Pit Bull to kill our dog were on the owner's porch or next door, but that will also become clear with further investigation from proper authorities. Incredibly, and completely incomprehensible, was that police arrived and determined that if the human under attack had no serious injuries - a finger lost, a baby mauled, or worse, the Police said they must hand the entire case over to Animal Control (note that the cop was so nice and offered to administer first aid to Greg and offered a ride to the vet. Animal Control is the agency in charge. Apparently our dogs can be mauled to death, a dog owner under attack can sustain bleeding and bruising and physiological injuries, but no police record is necessary under the law, and in fact, no follow up that may help in even a civil case down the road. That needs to change NOW. Police do not go door to door to find the owner of the dog in question, only Animal Control. Police are not able by law to tell us which porch this vicious animal came from. We cannot learn from police calls (our own, a witness, and a follow up witness) where the offending dog resides: we need to only call animal control. So, I'm guessing the Animal Control called tonight from our communal police calls found the few houses in question tonight dark and unresponsive, and I suspect that the pit bull in question was removed to another location for a month or two to hide from authorities. I'm not one to sit back and take this injustice, so we will be organizing massive media attention to our unjust Baltimore City laws, just revealed to us tonight in these most unfortunate circumstances. It is time to take back our city and expose to the masses on a national level what we have just learned tonight with which is a common practice that can affect every dog and cat owner, and even parents with small children! In the immediate future, if you have a small child in a baby carriage, any size dog, or even a roaming cat, AVOID the 2700 block of Guilford Ave, as the owner of this young Pit Bull conveyed verbally and rather clearly during the attack that there is nothing I can do. Look forward to an immediate community call for action, growing media event, and exposure that this is a truly flawed Baltimore City law, which we will push for CHANGE for us citizens living in Charles Village.

I would highly discourage any parent with a young infant or child from traversing this block, with or without dog or child, until this situation is resolved, as this dog is currently allowed by its owners to roam free and attack anything it is apparently trained to do. Police have been notified, and there is nothing in the law that they are able to do: only animal control can remove this dog from our community. Paul Paul K.
