Your WTF story for today: Pit bull attacks pony at day care
KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A pit bull dog attacked a pony Wednesday on a midtown playground.

It happened at a daycare at 4329 Troost in Kansas City, Missouri just before noon. A worker at the daycare says the children had just finished riding the pony and were inside the daycare when the attack occurred.

The pony was grazing in the back yard of the facility when the dog jumped a fence and attacked. The pony suffered minor injuries.

Kansas City Animal Control officers took the dog into custody

1. They don't attack for no reason. The pony was asking for it.
Err...no, it's always the owner's fault. Someone trained that pit bull to attack ponies. :eyes:

3. MORE bad dog owners NOT properly confining a dog with THIS KIND of disposition.
Edited on Wed Apr-30-08 09:36 PM by Double T
Owners need a VERY SHORT TIGHT LEASH on a dog like THIS!!

16. Of course THEY don't get along; THIS is America.
The bulls and bears attack ANYTHING that moves, specially ponies.

36. had a pony, no daycare. We all stayed hom and drove our mother insane
it was nothing for her to suggest that we all go outside and kill each other. Crazy woman, she had six of us.

37. That's not a wealthy part of town; hasn't been for a long, long time
If it was a Mission Hills address with an onsite pony, not so unusual; but 43rd and Troost is super high traffic and fairly low income.

40. I believe city ordinances would ban ponies in KCMO
Edited on Thu May-01-08 04:12 PM by proud2Blib
I don't believe people in this neighborhood would be more likely to have ponies in their yards - or day care centers.

which definitely are tasty with tarter sauce, but you need alot of them for a meal!

24. Hey that's me!
I despise those things. Never seen a pit bull that belonged to a nice person, and I've seen quite a lot of pit bulls.

34. Guess I'm one of them then.
I dont particularly care for pit bulls becuase in a unlimited number of cases, they are used as attack dogs, to intimidate other people, or just owned by guys who are trying to appear like a total hardass. But I do know some people who live close by that have three of them, and so far they are very very friendly dogs. They can kinda rough when they play otherwise they're pretty nice dogs. I would never own any dog of this breed, I'll stick to labs. I may get another dog soon, I'm kinda intersted in a Border Collie.

26. I wonder if we could train the pitbull to eat republicans instead?
I know they probably are tough and stringy and not as good as ponies, but?

39. Hey, I can vouch for that!
Started barking the instant I said "Republican." When he saw my bottle of Irish whiskey, he calmed down.

Evlbstrd trained him well...

35. Was the dog a stray, on a leash, or in a yard with the wrong kind of fence?
Edited on Thu May-01-08 01:50 PM by rocknation
You have to know what you're doing if you're going to own that breed. Like a gun, they're dangerous in untrained hands.
