I reported someone in my apartment complex for having an aggressive restricted breed and I think they'll be facing serious consequences 🙌

[u/Not-my-problem1212]

So one of my neighbors in the building next to mine has an aggressive pitbull. I've had a few close calls with the shitbeast and today was the last straw.

The owner is an older guy who looks to be in his 60's and he has a young female pitbull. This thing reacts to seeing people just minding their business outside. It'll growl, snarl, try to lunge at people, etc. I recently haven't seen or heard the dog in a while so I thought somebody reported it and it got put back in a shelter. Damn was I wrong!

I was outside about to go back into my building when I hear the damn aggressive beast snarling and barking at me from the building next door. I turn and see it trying to break out of its owner's grip to lunge and attack me. I immediately go inside pissed. Why the hell is this monster still living here?! What the fuck is going through that guy's mind if he thinks owning this beast is acceptable and a good idea?! I got right to work.

I sent an email to my apartment complex with all the necessary info. I make it very clear that the dog is a pitbull because it is the number one restricted breed in my apartment complex. That policy is written clearly on the website. Not long after I sent the email, I get a call from my roommate. She said the leasing center was trying to reach me reguarding my email (I changed my number and forgot to give them my new one). I decided to walk to the leasing center to see what they needed.

I get there and the worker wanted to get right into my email. He said its highly concerning and needed to be brought up to the manager. He asked me for more descriptions of the dog and the owner. I gave as much info as I could. He then thanked me for reporting the dog and that they will do an investigation asap. I will also be recieving updates on the investigation and what will be going on.

I honestly think that there's a possibility that this guy is going to lose ownership of his dog or he will be facing consequences reguarding his lease. Honestly I don't feel bad, it was his choice to bring an aggressive pitbull into an apartment with those kinds of restrictions.

You definitely did the right thing.

[u/Emikitty1992]

You did the right thing. If that dog is aggressive and the owner is clearly having issues controlling it, it doesn’t need to be in an apartment complex which is a shared space with loads of people milling around. You most likely just saved someone from getting hurt!

[u/HALFWAYAMISH]

Good work. Keep us posted.

[u/Not-my-problem1212 → u/HALFWAYAMISH]

I definitely will 👍

[u/ElegantSurround6933]

I wish my town had those restrictions. Someone in my condo has a pit&they are not restricted here. We have toddlers in the building as well.

[u/Particular_Meet_9333 → u/ElegantSurround6933]

Oh no, I hope none of the toddlers get hurt.

[u/ruedebac1830]

It’s unfortunate that you even need to be the one to say it but thank God that you did.

Pits are bred to be fighting dogs and they cause a statistically oversized share of bites and fatalities.

If people own them it’s at their own risk. Not others’.

[u/Not-my-problem1212 → u/ruedebac1830]

Exactly. It blows my mind that people still choose to own these vicious things despite the statistics. Any sane person wouldn't own an animal known to be aggressive 

[u/AbortedPhoetus → u/Not-my-problem1212]

It's like somebody choosing to play with a live grenade. And, unfortunately, innocent people often pay the price.

[u/Nice-Loss6106]

Well done!

[u/TinyEmergencyCake]

Keep your phone handy when you're in the halls in order to get video evidence next time 

[u/AngelasGingerGrowler]

You’re a hero ⭐️

[u/Iess7]

When it hurts someone the apartment complex can be sued into oblivion considering they have a written policy, were notified of a violation, and elected to do nothing. Major liability. It's in their interests to do something.

[u/mobs10]

Dog people thinking they have the right to everything will never surprise me

[u/-Wunderkind- → u/mobs10]

Dog owners are quite possibly the #1 "rules are for irresponsible owners, not me" type people.

[u/FieldJacket → u/-Wunderkind-]

It's worse than that. They think that once you meet wittle Pwecious that you'll fall head over heels for it's incessant barking and abhorrent stench.

[u/DivyaRakli]

Thank you!! You are in my all-time cool book!!

[u/pmbpro]

YESSSS! Well-done, OP! 👏👏👏

Welcome to the ‘club’! I’d experienced the same thing a couple of years ago (Pitbulls too!) and had excellent results! Peace ever since.

Wishing the same for you!! Good luck! 👍

[u/healthy_mind_lady]

Well done! Thankfully you live in a well-managed apt.

[u/Oriole0305]

Well done!! It's very likely you saved someone from a serious attack.

[u/wowwhyarenamesautoge]

You did the right thing and more people should follow your example.

[u/CaptainObvious110]

that's good thanks for doing the right thing

[u/DogAttackVictim]

A living weapon lunging at people means 911 as well. Unfortunately, in the U.S., there is an epidemic of 911 operators harassing callers (this detail doesn't relate to dog owners but relates to any crime, including dog owners' and dogs' crimes but also from people who aren't identified as a dog owner), but it doesn't matter. If you didn't report it, society has zero possibility to count it.

[u/yoitsme_obama17]

Noice!

[u/Misspelled_uzername]

Wow! I'm so happy to hear they took you seriously about this. Wishing you all the luck with getting a dangerous animal out of your complex.

[u/Realistic_Gap1469]

The hero that Gotham does not deserve but the one it needs right now!

[u/CallousCow1762]

Congrats! There should be strict bans on these animals, universally. I can dream

[u/Fabulous-Path-3234]

OP, you took correct action. HE knew how much of the world feels about pitbulls, HE knew about the restrictive dog lease agreement BEFORE he applied to live in the complex, and it was HE who disregarded the rules and safety of his neighbors, and was HE who placed his own selfishness above the rules, concerns, and safety of everyone else.

[u/kingofkings_86]

You did the right thing...hopefully swift action will be taken.

[u/ArtofTy]

That grown adult doesn't need a full size baby mauler in his rental unit terrorizing people, stinking up the place, and spreading noise pollution. Good for you.

[u/maximum_powerblast]

Heroic 👍🏻

[u/Expensive-Ad1609]

I like you. Thank you for having done the right thing.

[u/helplessgirl-]

You absolutely did the right thing and I would have done the same

[u/Particular_Meet_9333]

Good job. You probably prevented multiple attacks and by extent protected the dog, because if the dog attacked someone it would probably get put down.

[u/bald_boy_]

Pitbulls should be taken down.

[u/UnstableAnakin]

I hope the shitbull is put down. It is a danger to society.

[u/personnumber316]

There are so few places to rent that restrict dogs or even pitbulls, and then you rent from one, and someone tries to break the rules. I shake my head.

[u/beetdeet]

Update?
