I had a 15 pound Jack Russel that was a biter, so what?
We still don't like pit bulls.
Had to go all the way to the UK to find the Pit Advocate's Holy Grail...A Golden Retreiver mauling.
I don't care if it's a Golden or a Jack Russell or a Pit, if a dog bites it is no good.
So what? 85 stitches is not so what. If it HAD been a pit bull, this thread would be about what gun to use and how owners of such monsters are idiots. Would you like some ignorant with your bias?
How about placing laws in effect that prevent such things from happening, no matter the breed? Like, oh I don't know, pushing the whole responsible ownership thing, and not leaving children alone with dogs, along with getting people to speuter and bring dogs inside with the family where they belong.
I don't know if you have ever had the misfortune of that many stitches, but for a child, it is not exactly a walk in the park. If this is so what to you, I wonder how you feel about the children getting killed by husky crosses in Canada. Hm...come to think of it, Wristpin, I do see a trend here. These stories are coming from other countries, that's for sure. Perhaps it stems from their ability to recognize when a dog is dangerous by its actions and not by its breed. Then again, I am sure it's no big deal that 56 different breeds of dog are responsible for human fatalities across the world because it's somehow less important if it isn't here, and the dog isn't a pit bull.
