[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t worry OP, eventually that dog will disfigure that kid’s face and then the horrified parents will kill the dog, putting it out of its misery. [/quote]

PS: six year olds and dogs should NEVER be playing together unsupervised by adult humans. Sadly this happens ALL THE TIME which is why so many kids get disfigured by dogs who then get euthanized by the negligent parents/guardians who made it happen.[/quote]

Not sure what this PP is trying to say because no, none of that happens all the time.

What a bizarre way to troll.[/quote]

Okay, not all the time - but very very commonly parents leave young children and dogs unattended to play together.

[quote]More than 2 million children are bitten by dogs each year in America. The Humane Society estimates 51% of dog bite victims are children. Children between the ages of 5 and 9 are most likely to be bitten by a dog. Around 26% of all children bit by dogs require emergency treatment at a hospital. - Mar 5, 2023[/quote]

One particularly sad case I saw a couple of years ago involved a boy about this age sent out in the yard to play with his 9 month old Labrador puppy while mom stayed inside doing very important things.

It was winter and the boy was bundled up, including a scarf around his neck. While he was running around with his puppy chasing him, the dog behaved in a normal dog way and grabbed the trailing scarf in its mouth. Then accidentally strangling the child to death. And the family euthanized the dog.

Every single child maimed or killed by a dog is actually the victim of negligent parenting. Period.[/quote]

I’m trying to understand your point here. Do you think the family should not have euthanized a dog that literally killed their child?[/quote]

Let me make my point as clearly as possible:

When a dog mauls or otherwise harms a child, there are two victims - the child and the dog. Both are victims of arrogant or stupid adult humans. The adult human - parent, grandparent, babysitter, etc. is the only responsible party. Both children and dogs are owed a duty of care by the adult humans who are responsible for them.

I have zero sympathy for people whose babies are eaten by dogs they left them unattended with - my sympathy is entirely with the babies and the dogs.

Dogs have certain predictable behaviors that most idiot humans don’t even bother to learn (even though there are hundreds of canine behavior books available from which to learn) because they think they know it all and they assume dogs will behave like cartoon characters rather than taking the time to understand how they predictably react to certain stimuli, and that they are quite simply incapable of forming malicious intent to hurt a child.

For instance, dogs maul human infants - usually to death - because human infants make mewling sounds just like baby rabbits do, and dogs have thousands of generations of evolutionary instinct deep in their walnut sized brains that tells them to grab and shake and kill mewling helpless creatures - it’s called prey drive. Yet there are many idiot adult humans who leave helpless infants on the bed or floor with everything from a chihuahua to a xl pitbull, all of which no matter how friendly and well trained are capable of killing a human infant usually with just one instinctive bite to the neck. The dog isn’t mean, or angry, or anything else - it’s just a dog. And then it gets either beaten to death or humanely euthanized when really what should happen is the human adult in charge should be sterilized and have any remaining children removed from their care permanently. And of course they should never be allowed to own another dog because they lack the capacity to do so responsibly.

Puppies chase. Puppies are mouthy. Puppies grab at things - everything - with their mouths. A puppy grabbing at a bright scarf in the midst of a chase has done absolutely nothing wrong, and while I certainly understand the desire to never see the puppy again and be remained of the child’s terrible wasted life, the puppy did nothing to deserve being killed. Re-home it, because it is not a dangerous dog. It is just a puppy acting in entirely predictable ways. And if mom hadn’t been so busy on her phone, or watching her daytime TV programs, or shagging the plumber or whatever - her child would not have died and neither would the puppy. It was 💯 her fault, and nobody else’s. But her failure to take responsibility resulted in her taking revenge on a helpless animal. So she killed two for the price of one.[/quote]

Wow you are a psycho. I hope you don’t have kids. Any dog that kills or injured a helpless child should be taken out back and shot. [/quote]
