“In before the usual “it’s the owner, not the breed” canard.”
So they’re arguing that they should euthanize the owners instead? That’s a bit severe. But I guess I could live with that.
It wasn’t the dog’s fault, it was the parents fault.
1. Chaining up their dog.
2. Owning a guard dog with no reason for owning one.
3. Owning such a dog while having small children.
(like owning a swimming pool while having small children)
4. Not supervising their children.
I’m on the fence here regarding putting the dog down.
1. Is it a mean vicious dog?
or
2. Did the dog just react to the kid stealing the dog’s bone?
1. Dead
2. Find him a new home without children.
I did not comment on the breed, because it is a non factor.
It’s not the breed of the dog, it’s the breed of the human who owns him. How the dog is treated and what the dog is taught, determines how he acts or reacts. While dogs will have “traits” common to their breed, taking a bone away from a chained dog is dangerous, no matter the breed.
