Steelers LB Porter faces fines after his dogs kill horse sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2597684WEXFORD, Pa. -- Two dogs owned by Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Joey Porter got off his fenced property and killed a miniature horse on a nearby farm, leading to citations that carry several hundred dollars in potential fines. Porter's dogs, a pit bull and a mastiff, got loose Tuesday and killed the horse that was less than three feet tall. The dogs were still in the dead horse's corral when police and animal control officials arrived, Northern Regional Police Chief Bob Amann said. Porter helped police get the dogs off the property and back to his home. Because Porter's yard is fully fenced, police did not know how the dogs got loose. "It was an accident and I am not sure how the dogs escaped," Porter said in a statement. "I have reached out to the owners of the horse and will do whatever I can to help them get through this very unfortunate situation." The horse's owners have so far declined comment. Porter was cited Thursday for harboring dangerous dogs, failure to confine the dogs, and failure to have the dogs licensed. The fines carry several hundred dollars in potential fines. Porter said he raised the dogs as pets and not as attack animals and plans to send them to a kennel in California for safe keeping. Porter lives in Pine Township, north of Pittsburgh, but officials with the Northern Regional Police said Porter's dogs were licensed in his hometown of Bakersfield, California, not in Allegheny County.

That sucks! just more bad pub. for the APBT. and the Mastiff for that matter. just sucks that they were able to get out of a fully fenced yard. they prob. jumped it or dug under it.

Yea that is some bad pub, but I wonder why the killed it. I wouldn't think that a mini horse would be that aggressive but you never know with animals. I know Peerless and Suge would never kill a horse

who knows what went on.
suge and peerless as with your dogs wouldn't kill a horse cause they have been around other animals their whole life. with those dogs it sounds like they had run of their land and probably hunted small animals (rabbits, squirrel, groundhogs) together all the time. so when they got out they acted as a pack and went hunting. not necessarily a mean and vicious dog but an animal. animal aggression and pray drive have nothing to do with human aggression. but pray drive can be trained out of a dog if done correctly.

What is funny though is Porter's neighbor has, I mean HAD a small horse. I always wanted one of those. It would be a great addition to the DTC tailgate. We could get it drunk.

Clayton had a donkey when he lived in the frat house at tech. he said that it would suck itself off all the time and blow a load all over the place so they had to give it back to the farm. that is some funny shit.
