Pitbulls

I believe she had a seizure and it freaked the dog out.

It was an unfortunate incident. But it was an isolated incident.

Do you think that women shouldn't have relationships with professional athletes because of OJ Simpson
?

EDITED........:lol:
 
I guess I don't understand why we can't be disgusted with these dog attacks. I am NEVER going to get a dog. I will make generalizations as I see fit. If I am wrong, I couldn't care less. I would never hurt a dog (unless it did something to me first).

It's fine to be upset about dog attacks. I think it's unfair to think that all dogs will attack like this. Some humans attack unprovoked too. These dogs and humans that attack have emotional issues that have gone unaddressed.

If you don't want a dog, you definitely shouldn't have one. Dogs are very in tune with our emotional energy. Dogs often mirror our emotional energy.

I was asking you a genuine question--what did an owner like her do wrong to cause the dog to attack her? You're blaming dog attacks on the owners. Why don't you substantiate your allegation?

Sorry, after I posted I realized that I hadn't answered your question.

Without seeing the situation all I can do is speculate. I would guess that she wasn't the pack leader. A dog will respect a pack leader and would not paw at their face due to respect. If she had just got done arguing with her daughter, the dog was probably in an anxious state of mind. A pack leader would have remained calm and assertive and corrected the dog until it was calm and submissive. I'm going to guess this didn't happen. Instead the lady was so upset that she took enough pills to cause her to pass out. She didn't manage the dog's anxiety. She actually increased the dog's anxiety as it mirrored her anxiety. When an animal is anxious is when they are dangerous. That is why it is important for owners to be responsible and to learn how to manage their dog's anxiety and be a pack leader to them.
 
So would you favor outlawing a specific type of gun because it was popular in drive-by attacks, carjackings, and armed robberies?

If there was a gun that randomly fired on its own do you think it would be legal? You could say "well they should have put the safety on or left it unloaded" but that wouldn't negate the unnecessary danger.

Fascinating response. This is what I was looking for and helps me see things from your point of view. I'm impressed, IT! It's very insightful.

There is nothing random about dog attacks.
