but it doesn't’t appear the dogs chased her down and attacked her and I don’t think the dogs were trying to eat her. It was really a poorly written story, I can’t tell what happened. I agree with the judges decision to euthanize the dogs, but I’m not sure what happened. Were the dogs loose in the owners front yard? Did they escape from an enclosure?
Parsing words “I don't think the dogs were trying to eat her”
“It doesn't appear the dogs chased her down and attacked her”
I don't know you, I don't know if you own dogs and you may be the sweetest person in the world, but you seem to take offense at anothers wording and had to inform them. I think everyone that read the story understand and don't have to have more information to determine the dogs are vicious. But I agree with you on one thing, the dogs needed to be put down.
I didn’t take any offense (not sure why anyone thinks someone has to be offended to desire an accurate accounting of things). parsing words? No, desiring accuracy. Nothing more. I have seen you on these threads and you (along with a very vocal, small contingent) have a real anger going about pit bulls. I don’t know why, and honestly I don’t care (when asked people just get very huffy and refuse to tell me what expertise they have on the topic). But, if folks are going to expound an opinion, the rest of us deserve to know why we should take it with more than a grain of salt.
This particular article shouldn’t terrify anyone about any particular breed. The wounds were no more than you would get with many other breeds, so other than the fact that it appears the dogs attacked for no reason (while on or very near their own property—it is not clear how they were able to get to the woman from the article—were they at large or were they improperly contained?), there’s not much to the story. Of course, anyone who hates pit bulls will file this in the crazy pit bull file, while if it had been any other breed of dog, it would probably not have made the papers, much less FR.
And, you never did tell me why you posted TO ME about people and who have pit bulls. I do not have pits, I have golden retrievers.
Once more. Accuracy. That was my goal. What’s yours?
