[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ but why? If you would not touch me, or my child, or my stuff, why is it okay to touch my dog?

I do not have an aggressive dog, but I do think if an owner controls his dog on a leash,  and the only way that dog would bite is if it were touched, why is that not the problem of the toucher?  Shouldn't the dog be allowed to walk without being touched?

If a child runs into the street and gets hit by a car, or runs in front of a switch g, do you blame the swing or the car, assuming they were doing the speed limit or didn't aim for the child?[/quote]

A car going the speed limit and paying attention to the road will brake and swerve to avoid the child. That would be kind of like a dog is eating and a child sticks his hand into the dog's food dish and the dog accidentally bites the child's hand which is literally on top of his food, and it's a total accident.  What OP is describing with her dog is more like, a kid walks into the road on a crosswalk assuming the car that's 5-6 seconds away and going 20mph will stop but instead the car "sees a threat" and speeds up and intentionally runs down the child.
