The first major country to ban "Pitbulls" Neuling lifted their ban because bites and attacks remained the same. Many major cities with the ban are reporting the same.
*If* I had a dog (which I don't) you can bet that if he were out with me he would be leashed. Therefore, the point is moot, since he would not be on the train tracks, and if he were, I could simply give a tug on the LEASH and he would move.
Besides, it is very foolish to be anywhere near train tracks. The railroad company owns an easement on both sides of the track extending about 20 feet or so in both directions. If you are walking close enough to a train track to be ON it, then you are trespassing, which is against the law the last time I checked.
Now if you are at a train crossing, there should be more than ample warning that a train is coming for you, or your leashed dog, to stand well clear of the intersection while the train is passing through.
It seems to me if you are responsible pet owner and not engaged in criminal trespass that this scenario should never really occur in the first place.
i dont have a dog but tend to put myself in harms way.
the dying hero syndrome appeals to the unhappy often.
it should be seen for what it is, sick thinking.
Suppose this were the case...you dog is on the train tracks and can only be saved if you fling yourself onto the tracks and knock the dog off and die in it's place.
No. My life is worth infinitely more than my dog's life. Besides, I'm not irresponsible enough of a pet owner to allow my dog off the leash when I'm off my own property.
Or you jump in there, shove your dog off the tracks, wait for the train to hit you and realize the railroad switch has been set to a neighboring track, on which unfortunately your dog has landed

i've always said i would step in front of a truck to protect my dogs. that is how much i love them. because quite frankly, if my dog was hit by a train in front of me, i wouldn't be able to live with myself. but i know that won't happen cause i keep them safe.
I'm with you there
