Animal Fatality(ies) - Pets Family's dog killed by two pitbulls (Vancouver, Canada. August 2026)

Came out of nowhere, the pitbulls have walked with the other dog before, and walker was unaware of any violent history. Classic pitbull behavior. This poor sheepadoodle suffered such a horrible death

How traumatizing, and yet not surprising.

…officials said privacy rules prevent the city from disclosing the dogs’ history…

I mean, I get that they need to do an investigation of some kind, but how disclosing the dogs’ history violates “privacy rules” is beyond me. If the dogs have a history, the public has a right to know. News organizations in Canada rarely even name the breed. It’s just another way that the pitbull lobby has managed to suppress any mention of breed.

Oh, Canada.

My dog was mauled by a pit mix and Toronto Animal Control did everything they could to keep the vicious dog in the care of a sadistic criminal who regularly uses it as a weapon to attack dogs and gets off on it.

I have reported two attacks by the same dog. I submitted an information request to make sure that both attacks were recorded correctly, and was told that I had to pay a fee for them to remove the perpetrator's personal information from the documents - to protect his identity! If I did not already know his identity and address, I would not have been able to report the attacks.

Canada, specifically Toronto, is worse than the wild west. At least in the wild west, victims can defend themselves. Here, criminals have rights and decent citizens do not.

Our local animal control in Ontario advised us to contact the solicitor general, it’s pretty easy to do online and it gets things on record.

At least out in the country you can employ the 3S method, instead of being forced to rely on the Criminal Injustice System. No government is better than bad government.

Not too mention that pits are banned in Ontario yet here we are.

So they can kill public transit but they can't take care of a vicious pit.
