What to Do if a Pitbull Attacks

Esquire ^

They understand and have memory of pain, which they know to avoid. They do not understand or have “knowledge” of death.
Animals live in the present, and “assume” they will live forever.

[goat granny]

Interesting thought, what animal told you this?.....

[aruanan]

Animals live in the present, and “assume” they will live forever.

Actually, something living only in the present with no knowledge or understanding of death would have no concept of "forever."

[RichInOC]

Throw kittens at it until it’s full.

[Rennes Templar]

What animal told you to prepare his last will and testament?

[Rennes Templar]

That’s why I put “assume” in quotes. To be clearer, they “assume” the present never ends, ie does not die.

What property does a animal need a will for....he owns nothing...Your argument is full of nothing, but your entitled to your opinion..

Actually, something living only in the present with no knowledge or understanding of death would have no concept of "forever."

It wouldn't even have a concept of "present."

What is the best thing to do if a pit bull — or several pit bulls — comes charging at you?

Shoot them?

[Rennes Templar]

One can anthropomorphise certain human emotions to animals, but ascribing metaphysical qualities to them suggests a PETA -like sympathy.

Still, if you can provide any more proof of foreknowledge of death other than “animals are running from death when chased”, I will listen.

BOOM!!!...;0)

[goat granny]

Gee, you use big words and I hate pita. You are the one that made the statement animals don’t comprehend death...prove it and I might change my mind...Have a great week end......

Carrying mail, I’m supposed to have pepper spray with me at all times. I have yet to take a can of it out. I have only been nipped by damnable anklebiters when the owner is standing there cursing and yelling at the dog. I’ve always envisioned exactly what you describe in the event a big dog comes after me.

[Salamander]

Oh, snap!

That was SO Zen.......;)

[Salamander]

I’m starting to suspect you actually believe your own (rapidly disintegrating) “dogma”.

Just....wow.

[aruanan]

Well, all the Zen I ever got was from Alan Watts in high school.

[Stentor]

It's a reflex. I don't believe roaches are cognitive of anything.

Come on man. Who do you think they made those miniature bibles for. Get with the spirit of anthropomorphism.

[goat granny]

Ankle bitters are a pain in the arse, but they cannot rip your face off...hope you never encounter any pits or rotty’s running loose....But I’d bet you run into some crazy dogs.....(and people)

I really like your solution best. The only thing I'd add is to apply solution before problem develops.
