Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

Can someone please talk me through this one, please.

I'm a 14 year old girl.

I go to my mates house for lunch, taking a pasty. My mate nips out for a minute........and twenty minutes later the police break into the house to discover my dead body savaged by five dogs.

Talk me through the process, please.

Did I know the dogs were wild? Why did I go there?
Did my mate know the dogs were wild? Why did she leave me?

And who left my mate with five killer dogs.

It doesn't add up.

Wow! I've been out all day, (meeting friends passing time and drinking), but even so I couldn't make such a strange post as this one if I'd been on a bender for a whole fortnight!

Come back tomorrow and explain yourself...




...Please!

Gynn, you're sick, go crawl back under your stone

I think it has something to do with the 14 year old girl that was killed by savage dogs

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Luch, Taking a Pasty
 

why would you want us to talk you through it...are you hoping to emulate this behaviour soon......? Is it so that you don't make mistakes?

A young girl has had her life taken in horribly violent circumstances....and you, (crassly, in my opinion) ask these questions in such a blaise way.

If you want to make a comment...then make it, but do it in such a manner as to respect the fact, that there is a family today, who is without a much loved member.

Can't you find a little bit of respect and compassion in your heart for their grieving?

I knew what he was on about, I am a parent of a teenager and if anything ever happened to him like that I would be totally devastated, what a horrible man

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Luch, Taking a Pasty
 

Unfortunately, gynn has this trait of posting in this way, a very sad person in my estimation

Somebody needs to goto thread creation school

I thought luch meant a mouse.
"So I'm off to me mate's house for a mouse".
Good rhyming skills but a bit senseless :)

Two days ago I was walking to work over Whiteash playing fields when a (very petite ) woman appeared with two huge mastiffs off the lead. One of them spotted me and made a beeline. I nearly fainted with fear, I'd just been watching the news about that poor girl. She started shouting it back and it ignored her at first, luckily it turned back at the last minute. How the hell is someone who couldn't weigh more than eight stone going to control two huge, muscular dogs like that.

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

The trouble is with these type of dogs they can be so placid then the slightest thing can set them off, not my type of dog

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

And the thing is you know you wouldn't be able to defend yourself if they went for you. Your powerless.!

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Luch, Taking a Pasty
 

Rather than talk you through the process, can I suggest you visit the reading room at the Accrington library and read up on this sad and sorry incident yourself? Sift through all the newspapers and then form what will be as close to an "informed" opinion as is possible for your grey matter.
n.b. Page 11 D Telegraph Thurs March 28 is probably the most sensible and objective piece.

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

Sad as the situation is as usual the press & public opinion are focusing on the Dogs & not the owner. A Dog is what it is, a pack animal that follows & responds to a hierarchy. The animal itself isn't inherently vicious & aggressive without provocation or other relevant stimuli.

Already the hue & cry is about dangerous Dogs & should the list be reassigned, utter crap ! Some of those animals classed as dangerous breeds can be the most responsive & loving family pets when trained, understood & handled correctly while those deemed suitable can be equally as vicious & nasty.

I'd personally put the problem down to owners & not animals as the the root cause of most Dog attacks.

Yeh nailed it pretty well yon dave.;)

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

What is the point in anyone replying to you - not to mention talking you through it : if you don't return back to the threads you start and make another comment??

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

Rob, I think perhaps he has misread how most of us on here see things...well, for this thread he certainly has.

Thank you Cashy. I try to see the best in people....I don't always succeed, but I do try.

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

Sounds about right that Dave, my parents had three West Highland Terriers and they could all bite you for fun, especially when you weren't expecting it, although not life threatening they could probably scare a kid to death

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

I agree wholeheartedly. Many people who get dogs get them as a 'thing' and are unconcerned with training the animal or caring for it properly-and they're not the worst ones-along from this are those who actually aggravate the dog's instincts to protect and ability to fight to the death :(

As for the bullmastiffs-I think if a dog no matter the size what size is well bred, taken care of and respect for their owner is cultivated, I don't think it matters the comparative size of the owner.

My man is a foot taller than me and weighs 7 and a half stone heavier than I. Our dog is FAR more respectful of me than of him-she runs rings around him, because he lets her. I've had to train him as well as her!:rolleyes:

Me too Marg, but with some people I find it's frequent that I'm FAR too optimistic!:p

I love dogs generally but I have to admit a little yappy dog will usually have me far more wary than a large one!
I guess I've always been around larger dogs so I'm more used to them :)

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

I agree with you DaveinGermany, I'm not a soft arse. My dog is a five stone, larger than average staffie that we rehomed from the local pound a couple of years ago. It definitely is the owners. I understand people are scared when they see a large dog. People cross the road when I take Arnold for a walk but I know he is the most unagressive dog. Wouldn't stop me being scared of him if I didn't know him though. I wouldn't put the fear of God in to people with him being off the lead. He's always under control when on a walk.

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

Totall agree it's the owners not the dogs. Owners need training as well as the dogs

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

I'll agree that the chances of an attack are reduced with a good owner and well trained dog..but, all dogs are animals and unpredictable...that soft, loving, ball of fur can become a wall of lethal teeth in an instant given the wrong circumstances...regardless of whether its a miniature Yorkie that punctures your jugular or an Irish Wolfhound that rips your head off.

Was listening to the radio yesterday, a copper rang in to say that they had tried standard poodles as police dogs at one point. They were smarter and stronger than German Shepherds but the public perception was that poodles didn't have the same fear factor

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

I believe that by even commenting on this thread, you are encouraging Gynn to make more threads like this.

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

DinGermany's post #14 makes a equally similar cogent points, the one group and factor missing here are the breeders.There are some downright reckless and irresponsible breeders out there not only breeding the dogs with the wrong traits and characteristics, but ready to make a fast buck by selling the pups to just about anyone.

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

I spend a fair bit of time trying to help rehome animals-at the moment a staffie and two Akitas -the Akitas were bought from a breeder less than a year ago and they're in danger of being euthanised because the rescue centres we've tried are all full.
I was a fosterer as well but can't at the moment due to my home situation.

People are breeding for greed when rescue centres are struggling.
It makes me really sad :(

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

just incase anyone was getting worried everythings ok here ...

i took the kids for a pasty and so far no fatalities but if i find crumbs in my car that may change

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

Since starting the thread there has been no input.
So maybe the message has hit home - only time will tell.

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

Same with his last few threads

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

i find his threads consolodate anger and distain into a small area

they also distract from some of teh stuff i post and i get away witha little more than i normally would if his posts wernt here :D

Re: Going to Your Mate House for Lunch, Taking a Pasty
 

Yeh can't put sense were there is none, or so me mam used to say, I regarded that as very ironic, cos she was Irish.:D
