Take if for what it's worth.
Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2010-09-13 16:49.I read a lot of dog attacks and the comments are always the same. When it's a so-called, "Dangerous Breed" (i.e. Rotts, Pits, etc...) the comments are always, "this killer dog breed should be wiped out." OR "Why would anybody own such dangerous breed."
But whenever it's another breed. The comments change saying, "Its not the breed, its the owners," Or "it must've been a mix, purebred's don't attack." Or "my dog is so loving."
My favorites are Golden Retriever and Labrador owners. They are so sure that the article is lying about a GR or Lab attack or the media is picking on GR's, or it just HAD to be abused in some way. Yet they are so fast to pass judgement on a "dangerous breed" attack.
It's pretty arrogant of the commentor. That, or just plain hypocrisy.
Just like on my website that is against BSL.....I post dog attacks 'other' than "Dangerous Breed's" and I get hate comments suggesting I am singling out other breeds and not just the so-called "dangerous breeds"
I'm not suggesting all GR's or whatever YOUR breed is, is bad. I'm stating that all dogs, no matter what breed, can and will attack if the circumstances are right.
