None at all.
With guns, inanimate objects, the responsibility is fully with the human.
The dog is an independent agent that can act as such.
No gun ever picked itself up off the table or escaped from the gun safe and started shooting people at random.
Any dog that dangerous should be put down.
That was long. Let me know when the Reader’s Digest version is available.
“If that condition is needed, then obviously this particular dog is not suit to stay indoors at all unless it’s in a kennel.”
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
If that condition exists, then obviously this particular dog should not have been out of a shelter or a pound at all. It should have been put down as a dangerous dog much before this.
From the reference to the “freedom driver” it may have been - and probably was - taken somehow from a shelter where it was due to be euthanized for dangerous behavior and/or attacks, and brought from the US to Canada.
More on this subject, Excerpt at the link below:
“Reportedly surrendered for biting a child, Blue was routed through five rescue programs in six months before killing 90-year-old
VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia––Fatally mauled by a pit bull named Blue just six hours after Forever Home Rescue & Rehabilitation delivered him to her daughter Linda Colvin Patterson at their home in Virginia Beach, Virginia, Margaret M. Colvin, 90, died at about 6:30 a.m. on June 1, 2017, after enduring an arm amputation as surgeons struggled to save her life.”
Yes. You are correct, I am sorry. I am afraid that this article is the Reader’s Digest excerpt.
It is much more readable and interesting with illustrations and comments at the site. In addition, the print is larger. I will attempt to “rein it in” in future. Norski
Insulting the woman like that insults all pitbull owners.
Mean, hostile, agressive people own mean, hostile, agressive dogs.
We obviously see that on pitbull threads where angry agressive apologists insult those with rational intgelligence who know better than to own a dangerous animal
Yup didn’t even have to read the article to guess the breed. Kinda like how I can guess with almost 100% success rate the culprit when a “patron” goes berserk in McDonalds or Burger King or a “driver” mows down a bunch of folks on the sidewalk.
No problem...:^)
“...Frankly, at its core there many similarities between this “dog” debate and the gun control debate...”
Total BS!!!!!!
Name one time a firearm has killed someone withOUT a person using it....
A weapon is inanimate...A canine IS animate...
Two totally different things...
You are seriously unhinged.
She ignored warnings that the dog was aggressive (24-hour muzzle?), and rather than sequestering the dog to a kennel or crate permitted it free exposure to endanger the children.
This was 100% preventable and NOT - as you hysterically declare - besmirching of other owners.
Bad grandmother, bad dog handler, deserved of any & all sanctions coming her way.
You have a serious reading comprehension and emotional overreaction problem; you might want to re-read what I wrote without your rose-colored glasses after taking a big breath.
Are you being intentionally daft?
Had she not brought the dog into the house to begin with this story would have no basis in fact.
Changing my tagline. Just for you.
I typed my response #49 to logi_cal869 before I read your comment...We looked at this thing exactly the same...
Thanks for posting the entire article. It confirmed what I have seen with my own eyes. A dog bred for certain jobs will always be that way no matter the household or type of raising you do.
My Jack is a stubborn dog but will listen unless she is on the hunt. At that point it is all that matters to her.
You can’t train out breeding no matter how hard you try.
“Maybe you could pick up on the deaths not due to dogs bred to kill?”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I am considering the action at this time. I welcome feedback on this.
It’s so blindingly obvious that someone has to be willfully obtuse to compare them.
“If an ox gores a man or woman to death, the ox must surely be stoned, and its meat must not be eaten. But the owner of the ox shall not be held responsible. But if the ox has a reputation for goring, and its owner has been warned yet does not restrain it, and it kills a man or woman, then the ox must be stoned and its owner must also be put to death. “
Exodus 21:28, 29
Apply that to all domestic animals & their owners.
Yes. Thank you for reminding me. I have been intending to reread the- what- 416, 418 Mosaic Laws (Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers) because I believe that they are applicable to this situation, as to most others.
Exodus21: 28,29 is drastic.
Note for those who desire to know : Exodus 20 contains the Ten Commandments.
We have so many, many thousands of laws. We cannot keep those, either.
