[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m sure the OP and the rest of the apologists for biting dogs will be super successful at defending themselves legally when their dog mauls a child. Judges will be very swayed by the defense of “But, I posted a PSA on DCUM about how people should stay away from my dangerous dog, so the kid was knowingly assuming the risk.” ?[/quote]
I'm super sure that your kid's scars will be worth it if you can just get a little cash out of that lawsuit. Good luck![/quote]

I am the PP you are responding to. I teach my children not to approach strange dogs exactly because threads like this make me aware of how irresponsible and indifferent to the well-being of children many dog owners are. So, it will not be my child that your dog mauls. But for the sake of other children, I hope that you think seriously about what you are saying and take steps to protect people from your dog, if only because you should realize that your dog will be put to sleep once it hurts someone.

The whole thread is full of idiots arguing that their kids should be allowed to trot up to any dog and do anything to it without worry since it is the responsibility of the dog owner to prevent injury to their kid. I think that is a frighteningly foolish approach.[/quote]

literally nobody said that.  what we said is that if you require a 10-ft radius of "personal space" around your dog so that it doesn't maul people, your dog should not be out in public.  No dog that is so aggressive that it will bite merely because of being pet should be out in public.  [/quote]
Nobody said 10 feet. They said, don't touch strange dogs. Apparently that good advice offends people who don't want to control their kids, or themselves.[/quote]
