I love all dogs so when i watched this it give me a bit of a lump in my throat.
But it makes you think are the dogs to blame or the owners?

That video is pure, sentimental dross . I'd rather read the mattress thread again than watch anymore of that video...

stew911

i dunno with rotties, one lives by mum in law, treated like the bees knee's yet it still got out the backgarden one day and mauled a little girl in the close.

People forget that dogs, no matter how soppy they seem can turn if they feel threatened, they do have the human ability to rationalise. Our dog is as soft a muck with us and strangers, but you go near him with a grooming brush and all hell breaks out.

Tigers are cute - why do we not all keep pet tigers?

I have no remorse for these dogs what so ever.

Why the hell would you want one anyway

Found the video syruppy and very american to the poiunt of stopping it about half way though.

The subject is a sad one. Pets blamed because of their owners treatment how they are bought up. Same American trialer trash that breeds scumbag kids in a lot of cases.

Not sure what the answer is but if it means protecting kids then i suppose the law must be approved.

Bloody sham ethat it is the fault of so called adults who should not have pets in the first place let alone kids.

Sadly, its attitudes like that that have caused the extinction of many species over the centuries.

Animals do not rationalise what is good or bad. They merely act on instinct.

Is it their fault if we humans are so stupid as not to understand that?

Most dog "attacks" are not pre-meditated and there is no "intention" to cause injury (unlike attacks by humans on each other) Dogs do, however, interact differently, and much of their "play" involves using their mouths.

Children don't have fur, and don't react like dogs and hence are more likely to be injured in such circumstances. If the owner lets the dog "mouth" them as many do, how is the dog to know that is innapropriate behaviour?

I've seen a video of a dog "mauling" a child. Not badly, thankfully. The dog, however, was behaving no differently to how it would "play" with another dog and was not being aggressive.

Some dogs are, however, trainied to attack by irresponsible owners who themselves should be put down.

Human beings, even when looked at proportionately, case more damage to other human beings on daily basis than animals do. And yet I see no calls for the banning of a particular race on the grounds of "safety". Ethnic cleansing is, as far as I am aware, seen as abhorent in civilised society.

And yet that "cilvilised" society carries such prejudice against certain breeds of dog, or species of animals, based, largely, on media hype or indeed by the actions of certain elements of that so called "civilised" society.

Pit bulls are as common in the states as Staffie are here (and many other breeds of dog, for that matter)

Britains most reported dog involved in incidents with humans has been (and may still be) the Black Lab. Not Rotties, Dobermans, Akitas or German Shepherds.

Terriers bite more people than all the bigger breeds put together do.

How would we feel, I wonder, if our government was calling for all black labs to be put down? And Terriers to be banned?

There's a simple solution. One that as an owner of two Rotties I'd be more than happy to see introduced.

Bring back licensing for dogs, make it self funding, police it properly, make insurance mandatory for certain breeds and make an "attitude" test a requirement of getting that licence.

That won't stop the problem of bad owners, but should go some way to address it.

The same can be said of smallpox and bird flu.

Dont breed the bloody things, plenty of other dogs that arent such a potential threat, A Chiwauwau, no matter what someone does to it cannot eat your face.

AudiLover

You would have to get rid of every dog over 18kh as theyre all potential threats.

Why the hell should i **** myself when my 6 year old is in the park and one of these things is on the loose.

I should not have to, if the banning of a whole species of "dog" prevents ONE child form not being injured then so be it

JackClark

I woke up with a Chiwauwau ******** my head once, it was distressing I can tell you, talk about feeling violated. I'd rather have a pit bull on my arm.

I bet you smeared dog food on your ***** didnt you

AudiLover

But they also protect children, and double as rescue dogs when trained which also rescue children. And dogs are used in childrens hospital. Plus you can tell when a dog means harm or is just jolly running up to the kid saying hello.

JackClark

Yeah but that's another story.

Back on topic, a friend has a Pit Bull and it's a good lad, brought up from a pup as a lap dog, doesn't even know it's hard.
