If I’m uncomfortable around the black neighbor’s snarling pit bull, it’s because I have racist tendencies and because I have these issues (unbeknownst to me or anyone else who really knows me) the dog senses in me an underlying hostility which makes the dog uncomfortable and afraid for it’s life. It’s perfectly normal canine behavior! So, it’s really my fault and I should seek professional help for my inherent issues because I owe it to the dog and to society in general. I should be grateful for this opportunity to become so enlightened and if wasn’t for that dog I’d be going to hell for sure.
We were playing outside, and for whatever reason I pushed the dog from behind. !!! It tore the side of my face off, half way tore the off ear, and was close to the jugular, leaving a few punctures in other areas of the face. We were 40 miles from the Doctor. Needless to say to this day I am fearful of unfriendly and most all large dogs. It is written in my past and it is strong. Some dogs are more dominate than others. I respect all of them, and my heart starts racing.
I have a dog and have had dogs that I love. Smaller dogs mostly. My daughter loves Great Danes!.
Eh, I dunno. You could paint yourself in bacon grease, let the dog maul you, come out of the hospital singing praises to the good dog and you would still be considered a creepy-ass speciesist.
