『キャー』女性が悲鳴「見たら、ピットブルが犬を噛んでいた」　保育園の横で闘犬「ピットブル」を飼育　相次ぐ被害に専門家は「規制が必要」

Pit bulls are a breed of fighting dog known as the "world's strongest dog." Due to their aggressive temperament, the difficulty and danger of keeping them as pets has been pointed out. There have been cases of people and dogs being bitten and killed, and we have learned that a number of such incidents have occurred in Fukuoka City. Many residents live in fear, as owners still fail to properly manage their pets. "A stray pit bull attacked both their dog and its owner." In March of this year, a woman living in Fukuoka City contacted RKB with a tip about a dog and its owner being attacked by a pit bull. We called the woman who provided the tip. Tip: "The victim was out walking her dog as usual when two pit bulls suddenly attacked the dog. The dog is still receiving treatment at the hospital and appears to have had surgery." A man who tried to help said, "They bit her and wouldn't let go. It was terrifying." Our reporting team spoke with police and local residents, and learned that the incident occurred around 11:00 AM on February 28th of this year. A woman walking her dog was suddenly attacked by two loose pit bulls at an intersection in Fukuoka City's Chuo Ward. RKB Reporter Dobashi Souta "This is the scene of the attack. The pit bulls were not with their owner at the time and were not on leashes." A man rescued the woman attacked by a pit bull. "I heard a woman scream, 'Scream,' so I looked and saw the pit bull biting the dog. Everyone around me panicked." A man who was present at the scene said he tried to grab the pit bull with his head in a headlock and pull it away with all his might, but he couldn't let go because it was still biting the woman. A man who rescued a woman attacked by a pit bull "It wouldn't let go. Pit bulls are muscular and have thick necks, so it kept making 'whoosh' noises while it was choking me. Honestly, it was scary, but they're incredibly strong." The woman was bitten on the left hand and taken to the hospital by ambulance. The family dog ​​was also bitten and injured. Man Attacked While Walking His Dog Pit bull attacks have also occurred in other areas nearby. RKB Reporter, Souta Dobashi "The attack occurred in Kamome Plaza in Chuo Ward, about a three-minute walk from where the attack occurred. According to residents in the area, this isn't the first time a pit bull has attacked a man." The man was attacked while walking his dog in November of last year. His dog was bitten on its tongue and other parts of its body, requiring nearly 30 stitches. The tongue still bears a deep scar. Victim: "My dog's tongue was torn off in half, and I thought I was going to die. I also injured my hand, and about three layers of my clothes were torn. Being a man, I immediately grabbed the pit bull and tried to hold it down and push it away. I had two dogs with me at the time, and as soon as I let go of one, the other one bit me, and it was unbearable. They attack somewhere around once a year. I wish something could be done about it." According to the resident, the pit bull was kept nearby and had attacked people and dogs for three consecutive years. Pit bull attacks continue across the country Pit bulls are a breed of fighting dog known as the "world's strongest dog." Cases of these attacks are occurring all over the country. A few years ago in Gifu Prefecture, an elderly woman and a high school student on their way to school were attacked by a pit bull, suffering serious injuries that took more than a month to heal. On May 30th in Okinawa Prefecture, a small dog kept in a private garden was bitten to death by a wandering pit bull. "Once they bite, they won't let go. It's impossible to do without the right tools." An expert on animal ecology points out the dangers of pit bulls as follows: Punk Machida, NPO Biobehavioral and Evolutionary Research Center "They're not just cute, but they're dogs. Once they get excited and start attacking, they can't stop. Once they bite, they won't let go, and it's impossible without tools. If a child is bitten, if the bite is in the wrong place, like the hip joint, neck, or wrist, it can cause excessive bleeding and even death." Police investigating the owner on suspicion of negligent injury The recent incident in Fukuoka City was confirmed in an area lined with parks, daycare centers, and other facilities. In February of this year, Fukuoka City's Animal Welfare and Management Center instructed the owner for letting his pit bull run loose. Police are also investigating the possibility of negligent injury. However, according to local residents, proper management of the pit bull continued, and many local residents remain concerned. A resident out walking "I think kids from daycare come here to play during the day, so I'm worried. It would have to be something serious for them to escape. I hope they're kept under control." "If they were to bite a small child, it could be a major incident, so that's something to be concerned about." Visiting t...
