A loose pit bull can be very, very dangerous. Two nights ago a woman and a man were very badly mauled by two pit bulls in the Beaver Hills neighborhood. The woman is still in the hospital. Check for the story on this week's New Haven Independent. The pit bull must be caught and confined.

Besides posting this should have also been called into the police. If this keeps up someday someone is going to report a house fire on this site without calling 911.

Wow. Give this poor dog a break. It's obviously lost and needs some help. If you are uncomfortable or inexperienced with large dogs then don't go near it, but don't assume right away that it's a man-eater.

No one has posted that any harm should be done to this dog.

@XYZ: The link that @JB had shared, now blocked by the moderators (thank you), opened with a poll asking whether pit bulls should be banned in New Haven. Unless banning does not include seizing and euthanizing these animals then harm is rather clearly implied. Prohibition is a cruel and dangerous kind of policy and the kind fear expressed in this report and some of the comments are what will get us there. I just wanted to inject a little bit of reason and highlight the more likely scenario that this is a dog that needs help, not a monster that needs to be hunted.

I did not see the post. Who should be barred is the irresponsible owners. It is sad if you go to the New Haven Animal Shelter the majority of the dogs are Pit Bull Types and it is also like this in other towns. In the State Of Connecticut you can breed two litters a year and you do no have to get any type of license or permit. Something must be done or this problem is only get worse. Some of these people should not even be permit to own a pet rock.

We are closing this request due to its historic nature. If this concern still requires attention and you still believe SeeClickFix is a viable tool for its resolution the best way for it to be addressed is for you to create a new request including a current description of what is occurring and what solution you hope to see regarding this matter, citing/linking this request in the details. Thank you for your dedication to improving the quality of life in our community.
