Dog Attacks Boy, Town Mayor Shoots Dog

Full story: www.kmeg.com

A Pierson, Iowa, boy was taken to a Sioux City hospital after being attacked by a dog. The 9-year-old boy was riding on his bike outside the Pierson post office when the dog, a brown pit bull mix, bit him on the ankle. After receiving a call about the attack, the mayor went home to grab a gun, then went and shot the dog. It was a decision he says he made to protect other kids in the neighborhood.

God for you Mr. Mayor. Our children has to be protected for vicious dogs and the owners who let them run free or are not responsible enough to make sure these animals are securely tied up.

I can't believe how ignorant people are a Pitbull bites and people just like to get rid of them or kill them thats just sounds dumb to me. When I was serving in Iraq there were people close to me that got shot by Iraqis that did not give me the right to go and shoot all Iraqis. I mean we don't even keep all of them from coming to are country and Iraqis have killed alot more people than Pitbulls have. I agree some dogs do need to be put to sleep and so do some people but as far as going into your house and getting a gun shouldn't a city have a gun ordinance what if the bullit from the mayor's would have hit a person on acciedent who's fault would that have been or would that have been okay.
