Thick shit owners

Pit bulls are on the more aggressive side. As are Rottweilers but are both really good with kids if looked after properly. The problem is with the owners. The amount of attacks is very, very very rare if the dog is treated properly and kids are thought properly.

The issue is idiot owners trying to make the dog "mean" by mistreating it to make themselves look hard. Or breeding them for fighting, or inbreeding them.

My next door neighbour has two American pitbulls and two kids who love the dogs. And the dogs love them.

I grew up with big dogs and loved every minute of it.

I would like to see an accepted dogs list of family friendly dog breeds and the rest put down.

Bollocks statements. These vile animales are equally to blame. It's in their nature

[thetime]

Bad parenting plain and simple,leaving your child alone with any dog is asking for trouble and to much of a risk.

We have a soft dog who isn't aggressive what so ever, he's fantastic with our daughter. We still wouldn't leave her in the same room as the dog though, just in case.

Leaving children alone with a dog is unfair on the child and the dog.

[fred quimby]

Yeah because we are a nation of dog lovers .

[fred quimby]

actually hearing that story there were plenty of warning signs that maybe have been missed and this could have been avoided.

Any dog is capable of harming a child if it's badly trained and given opportunity to do so. Even the fluffiest poodle has the potential to! I wouldn't personally have a dog while I have young children - I'm wary of dogs anyway - but it's purely an owner problem, not the dog.

[russycarps]

is animal really that hard to spell? fucking hell

[feral chile]

I agree that you can never trust a dog with children. I had the most beautiful, obedient, loyal, gentle border collie, who was the most amazing protective dog with us all. In my heart I trusted her completely. But my head never forgot that she was capable of reverting to her nature. Dogs have triggers, we suppress their natural instincts, and even the most trusted, docile dog can go rogue. I never left her alone with my children, or my cat for that matter.

People are idiots, I can't believe this is a surprise to anyone.

This particular dogs name was apparently "Killer" by the way.

I call natural selection tbh.

[LondonTom]

I don't like dogs, especially pit bulls personally but I really don't get how you blame the entire breed and not the individual owners.

Let's just exterminate every animal that poses a small risk when idiots take charge of them.

It's an interesting quandry, what to do when certain members of society are fucking imbiciles yet are still entitled to the same responsibilities (such as for children and dangerous animals) as the enlightened and responsible members.

[mrtourette]

I think I'd probably prefer the route that it's society's responsibility to educate it's members, but it's horses for courses I guess.

[fred quimby]

I would suggest a proactive route of testing at age 12 to see what the likely outcome is for them and do the castration at that point...

[fred quimby]

I'd also like to have the person doing the Sterilising (as we would need girls on the show to) to be dressed as Aphroditus.

The host turns to the Camera "You are now God, you decide their fate" cut to commercial

[kaosmark2]

Barry advocating castration for the stupid.... Irony.

Nice

Tricky one that,

But yes what a great TV show for the masses on a Saturday night. Predict a childs future and then have the public voting on whether to Castrate or not, or maybe even put down. Imagine the money you could make from that kind of show.

I like Your thinking. Not sure how we get all 12 year olds in the system, and imagine how nervous you would be Barry when it's your kids turn. What a rush
