Problem is that each argument presented falls under scrutiny.

So Dogs retaliate when provoked ...

... what about babies pulled out of cots?

It happened last year to the child of a pub landlord.


In the cases above the dogs were well treated - so it isn't always about abuysed dogs.

In the cases above, there were adults present - so it isn't always about supervision.

In other cases, it has happened to babies who could no more go and poke a dog in the eye than a doll could - so it isn't always about provocation.


What is the common factor?

There is always an element of risk because dogs are dangerous.


In the situation above with the 2 year old "learni8ng his lesson", what about the adults learning the lesson that small children and dogs who bite should be kept a safe distance apart at all times.

So yes dangerous Dogs are a human problem.

Yes stupid adults should take responsibility for them.

They should take responsibility and accept that their dog is a risk to kids.

Who do you think you are saying that everyone else including children should take responsibility for being attacked by your dog!

If the dog wasn't there there wouldn't be an issue.

Numerous small children are killed by dogs and the response here is to say "yeah well what did they do"

Is that what you'd say when a human kills another human?

Your honour, I shot him because he poked me in the eye.

Poor doggy!...


The reason you are quitting this discussion is because you have yet to provide a good reason.

All you have done is assert your opinion.

Now why not test it and see how well it stands up to scrutiny.

It is currently looking totally unsupportable.
