A 65-year-old retired truck driver who was attacked by a pit bulldog during a neighborhood walk choked the dog to death as he defended himself.

Von Pardue of Conroe was on his routine morning walk yesterday when the dog attacked him.

Pardue says he fought the dog off and then dragged him by the collar to his nearby house where his wife called police.

Police say Pardue had such a tight grip that he accidentally choked the dog.

Pardue suffered bites on his arms and hands.

Police say the dog's owners could face misdemeanor charges for having a dog at large or for having a dangerous dog.

The Conroe City Council is set to vote next week on a proposed dangerous dog ordinance that would require such dogs to be kept in a secure enclosure.

Is PETA getting a lawsuit together?

Are they holding a candlelight vigil for the pit bull?

they probably are those tree-hugging bastards. kill a human. protect fido.

[Spurfect]

well, I guess he saved the city the money it would take to put that dog down.

[Fillmoe]

that old man is a bitch... i would have bit the dog in the neck and made sure he never attacked anyone again

[Sportcamper]

This is so wrong! That Pit Bull Had Rights!

[cornbread]

Depending on the circumstances, the owner of the dog should be prosecuted, sued, whatever.

A friend of mine is an elementary school teacher in Austin. Some idiot's pitbull got out and attacked a small child in front of the school. A father of one of the students had to strangle the dog with his belt because the dog would not respond to repeated heavy blows to the head. I realize it's very popular to have pitbulls these days but if your dog nearly kills an innocent person then the owner should have to man up.

This is so wrong! That Pit Bull Had Rights!I really hope you're kidding.

[desflood]

I've got $20 says the owners of the dog sue the guy for wrongful death of their pet and the value of the dog.

Copycat. That's one tough old guy.

[boutons_]

"he accidentally choked the dog."

Anybody belive the "accidentally"? I don't.

If I were he, the death wouldn't be accidental.

[AlamoSpursFan]

"he accidentally choked the dog."

Any body belive the "accidentally"? I don't.

If I were he, it wouldn't be accidental.

I was thinking the same thing...accidentally my ass.

:lol

That pit bull fucked with the wrong trucker!!!

:clap

[1369]

That pretty much guarantees that no kid will EVER get on his lawn.

[tlongII]

Props to that dude! That is one tough MOFO!

65 year old ex truck drivers shouldn't be allowed in suburban areas!

And their families should be obligated by law to take special courses about how to handle them before they reach that age.

Off topic but, GOD DAMN, if that isn't supposed to be a joke or comedy, then GOD DAMN.

PETA actually supports pit bull genocide, as they consider pit bulls psychotic, unnatural killing machines, so one can assume they approve of Mr Pardue's actions.

[resistanze]

Does a 65 year old ex-truck driver have to CHOKE A BITCH??

[mavs>spurs2]

Lol maybe a 1/4 pit bull 3/4 chihuahua mix....at least the guy is ok.

[ALVAREZ6]

Who gives a fuck even if it wasn't accidental? He had every right to kill the fucker right then and there. Self defense.


I personally would have curb-stomped the little bitch.

I thought they were for the total liberation of all animals. It wouldn't suprise me if they took a hypocritical stance on an issue though.

[Bob Lanier]

The stance is only hypocritical from a certain point of view. From the perspective that pit bulls have been tortured and twisted into beings incapable of being anything other than a persistent danger, it's more or less consistent.

Here's the article in question.http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2005/06/08/EDGDLD4G1S1.DTL&type=printable

[Melmart1]

I know I am likely opening a can of worms here... but since nobody else has...

This in now way proves that pit bulls are dangerous animals to humans. Only to other animals!!!

[Guru of Nothing]

I've planned this out in advance. If a Pit Bull comes after me, he or she gets a thumb in each eye. ... or maybe I could snap a leg in half.

:lol :lol :lol PETA is such a fucking joke. Their mission statement is the complete liberation of all animals. All animals. This includes hamsters, hermit crabs, milk cows, canaries, seeing eye dogs (yes, seeing eye dogs), gold fish, etc. But pitbulls are the exception because they're mean and mistreated??? This sounds like somebody doesn't mind playing God. That or she's just a total hypocrite because she herself was attacked at one point in her life and the idea of a bunch pitbulls running free gives poor Ingrid flashback nightmares.

PETA is all about making exceptions to their firm stances on "animal cruelty" when it fits the personal agendas of their higher-ups.

I thought it was hillarious how in paragraph 4 she gives broad generalizations and backs them up with NOTHING.

I think she's trying to say that truckers are animals, baby!

:lol

(In which case, I resemble that remark...)

Or a powerful kick to the head as it rushes up to you. Should knock it out, if not, more boots to the face.

[AlamoSpursFan]

I had a friend (an experienced dog handler) who got knocked down and almost mauled by a Doberman once...he very slowly reached up and grabbed the dog's nuts and applied instant pressure. End of near mauling.

:lol

[lefty]

Lmao

[DMC]

Two of the pit bulls that attacked the man and his dog are dead, police said. A third was transported for surgery by animal services.

Maybe he'll live to see a trial. Let's just hope he didn't get a good look at the cop.

[spurraider21]

Officers tried clubbing the dogs repeatedly in an attempt to save the man before drawing their weapons and firing at the animals.

they're cops, not animal control. they are neither trained nor equipped to deal with them another way. i'm a dog lover, but this is a non-story

[Avante]

I've never seen a young guy all tatted out with his pants hanging off his ass walking a poddle on a lease.

I've also never seen a little old lady walking a pit bull on a lease.

Hmmmmm?

Hmmmmm?you dont go out often

[Avante]

you dont go out often

So you have seen little old ladies walking pit bulls and young cats all tatted out with their pants hanging half way off their ass walking a poodle, really?

Little man, where have I been the last week?

[Blake]

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pitbulls should be eradicated.

[Avante]

Pit bulls can't be inside the city limits. If ya own a farm/ranch.....cool. Ya live out in the country....cool.

Knew an old guy who hunted wild pig with pit bulls.

[spurraider21]

Little man, where have I been the last week?my gf has a pitbull and her mom walks it all the time :lol... so not only have i seen one but i know one personally. your anecdotal "i havent seen one" is completely meaningless

[Avante]

my gf has a pitbull and her mom walks it all the time :lol... so not only have i seen one but i know one personally. your anecdotal "i havent seen one" is completely meaningless

Something tells me you're not old enought to have a gf who has a little OLD lady as a mom. So what's really meaningless is you ignoring what I said.

[spurraider21]

Something tells me you're not old enought to have a gf who has a little OLD lady as a mom. So what's really meaningless is you ignoring what I said.depends on what you qualify as old. she's close to 60.

[Avante]

depends on what you qualify as old. she's close to 60.

That's not old. And if you asked her....do you think of yourself as a little old lady....she will tell you....nope~~~

Dude, ya always have some weird need to prove Avante wrong, why?

And, come on guy you got my point, so why act stupid about it? FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR more young thugs own pit bulls than little old ladies, right?

[spurraider21]

neither of us could possibly know that. you're going off "what you've seen" which is anecdotal. same for me.

[Avante]

You're not one for simply common sense are you?

We have a car load of young black guys, would ya guess they are listening to...

country
classics
old blues
punk
rap
heavy metal

Four passengers on a bus one is a basketball player, is it the short Mexican, the little Chinaman, the 7 foot black guy or the fat Italian?

[Blake]

Avante lives in the hood

That's a pretty messed up scene, dog with a gunshot hole in its face running around the Disney soda fountain with a bunch of kids that must have been there. Two people were bitten by the dog so it has to be put down
