I own a house in NC (near Fort Bragg), and have not lived there since 98. I have been unable to sell the house since that time. The house is new and in a nice country subdivision (with only 5 other houses) but it will not sell because the next door neighbors own fighting pitbulls. I know for the fact that the neighboors actually fought their dogs. At the time I had some coon hounds that were worth up to 5,000$ and always worried that some of his pits would kill my hounds (who were double feced). I just found out today that then tenat's (living in my house)three year old little boy was killed by the neighbor dogs. It is my understanding that the little boy walked next door to play with a child of the dog owners and was attacked and killed. I wish now that I would have reported him for fighting his dogs.

I own a Pit and am a very responsible owner, so to here this type of story aggravates me a great deal. I would never fight my dog, or any other dog for that matter. It is childish, not to mention dangerous! What is keeping you from reporting them now?
The news stories I read said that the owner of the dogs said she'd "never had any trouble with them." No news outlet that I saw has yet reported any suspicion of dog fighting.
I'm sorry, but in my opinion, Chuck, if this is the same set of dogs you are talking about, you are to some degree morally culpable for the death of that little boy because you did not report what was going on.
Dog responsibility is not just for the owner. It's up to all of us who love dogs to enforce appropriate behavior on rogue owners like these.
What you know and what you can prove are two different things. The entire neighborhood also knew that the man was dealing drugs and notified the police, but it was never proven. I knew that the dogs he owned were Jeep fighting line, and heard him brag about the fighting records of his dogs, I also saw his breaking bar in his garage. I know for a fact that the county commisioner was notified about his dogs. His reply was that as long as the dogs are on a chain and have food shelter and water there was nothing that we could do. I wish I would have tried harder to find out where and when he actually fought the dogs and passed that on. I have not lived in that neighborhood for six years and there is nothing I could do to prevent the tradegedy that happened and by no means do I feel responsible in any way.
A few more thoughts for you Dave,
Do you think the nieghbors are going to admit that their dogs are a problem just after it killed their neighbors kid. I bet they did not talk about their little black pit that killed a full grown Rot. Did then mention the cars that park in their drveway, leave their motor running and only visit for five minutes (at all hours of the day). Did they talk about their brown pit that actually attacked a farmers tractor as it drove buy. I wonder if they told reporters that all four tires of their car got slashed a few weeks back. Don't trust the news to get all the facts in a short report Dave. I lived in that neighborhood and still own a house there (unfortunately). A realestate company rents it out, not me. You could not pay me enough money to live in my own house. What first looked to be the Leave it To Beaver setting turned out to be the most heathenistic, clanish, redneck place I have ever witnssed. Enough said.
