But they’re so gentle and lovable...
Well, why don’t I just do both sides and save us a lot of time:
Observer: Another pit bull death!
Hack Applogist:
You seem to have an axe to grind. You’re highly suspect!
Observer: But were averaging more than one death a week from pit bulls
Hack Applogist:
It’s the owners, not the dogs. Ignore all the blood and gore. You’re a jerk for even bringing it up
There. All done. Now everyone can go enjoy other threads.
Whose autopsy? And is the pathologist okay?
One every 14.6 days for pit bulls for 2018,
One every 11.75 days for all dogs for 2018.
Thank you for posting the argument.
This may save time and repeated postings.
Yes. Syntax and grammar are our friends.
Biting off the hand that feeds you.
So he was killed by his own pit bull in his own home?
They shouldn't have allowed the dog in the room while the autopsy was being performed.
Reporters have probably always been this bad; in the old days they had copy editors to keep the writers from embarrassing themselves.
I do not believe that to be the case at this time. From https://blog.dogsbite.org/

A License to Kill
On Wednesday, the Rocky Mount Telegram added new information. In a press release issued by Rocky Mount Police, Cpl. Brad Summerlin said the man was “staying at the home” of the owner of the pit bull on Buena Vista Avenue when the fatal attack occurred — yet another common fatal pit bull mauling scenario. Summerlin said he doesn’t believe the owner of the pit bull will face any criminal charges. “The dog has been seized and is in quarantine at this time,” Summerlin said.
Since January 1, 2018, canines have killed at least 20 Americans. Pit bulls were involved in three-quarters of these attacks. Criminal charges have been brought in only one case, 5% of fatalities this year
Eats Shoots and Leaves
(for those who do not remember, this was the title of a book on pandas some years ago)
Unintentional very dark humor.
Or, possibly, the hand of the feeding hand’s friend.
Ah. Yes. Quite appalling.
No, I did not say. I must post the articles verbatim, I believe. The article did say this.
It is good that journalists do not write contracts.
Here's a jolly fellow "training" his pit bull:
That looks like my Mom’s neighbor’s Pitty. The Neighbors is on the small side for a Pit, probably 55-60 pounds. The few times I have been around it, it has been very sweet. Until it is NOT!
Here's the kicker:
August 22, 2018.What the h*ll is wrong with these people? They are filthy evil killing machines and this "do gooder" so called "animal lover" wants to place them with families!!!They are currently being evaluated by the Humane Society to test and determine whether they can be rehabilitated and adopted, WVTM 13 reported.
"I pray that each one of them can be rehabilitated and put with some families," Sanford told the news station.
