I suppose I could add menial labor in Africa to my resume, I’ve done menial labor here, after all. But I wonder if I should list it before or after my 5 issued (one ribbon copy as sole inventor) and 4 pending US patents?

As an adult? No bites. Only took a few nips as a kid to figure out how to treat normal dogs so they don’t feel compelled to do that, and to avoid the abnormal ones.

Are you still being bitten on a regular basis?

Sadly I think you’re right. The ignorant media reports most large dog bites as being PB’s perpetuating the myth.

You’re missing the point patent boy. I know the difference between a mild bite, a severe bite, and a mauling. Apparently you need to be schooled in those differences. Are you also confused about the difference between a cat a dog? A male and a female?

I stand by my original observations from both the article and video but would want to see the bite to see if the reporter is embellishing as they often do or telling the truth about a “severe bite”.

It’s also obvious to me from the little info given the kid was being attacked by at least one dog for reason yet to be determined and that none of the dogs that we know of were Pit Bulls. The kid was screaming like a banshee for help. That part is understandable. I bet whatever he did to cause this will not happen again. Definitely not to the murdered dogs since they are now deceased victims. Well; most were likely victims with one of them biting the kid at least one time.

Kids mimic their parents or guardians. It’s likely this kid did what he saw his father doing, maybe using his foot to push the dogs out of the house (just as an example) but the kid did not have the respect of the dogs the father has. I can only imagine how this father feels right now. Probably thankful his kid is okay but livid over his dogs being killed like this even though I know cops routinely kill family pets. I support the police but never this. Never. There has to be a better way than murdering family members to get to another family member. A spray that knocks them out from a distance like wasp or bear spray might be a good alternative to murder.

The owners of dogs that attack people should face same charge as someone who sets up Bobby traps.

I do know the difference between a human and a troll, but I am a little bored today, so playing with a troll it is...

In a court of law they would be laughed at.

Seems to be A-OK in a confirmation hearing, though.

Just sayin'...

Both are BHFD’s. The differences are at best, academic.

It isn’t irrational, an it isn’t hate. I just recognize that they are a dangerous breed prone to attacking livestock, humans (they especially love going after women, the elderly, and children), and normal pets out on walks with their owners.

Its a very fair bias. I also hold the same bias against trusting rattlers.

I would be if such a thing existed.

The police, much to their credit, did try Tasers and pepper spray first, as you would know had you attempted to read the article, (or perhaps reading comprehension just isn't your strongest suit?)

One officer’s body camera started recording as a taser was deployed over the tall gate at the home off Oriole Drive and El Camino Real. In the footage, very hard to watch at some moments, you can hear the boy screaming and several dogs barking.

“Get the pepper spray," can be heard on the footage from one officer to another. “I got it, spray those dogs.. spray 'em."

And BTW, murder is a legal term only applying to the unlawful and deliberate killing of a human being.

Do you know the difference between a cat, a dog and a human? Serious question, a lot of progressives, greenies and other leftists don't.

You keep talking about evidence. Pit bulls don’t have civil rights. They have the same rights as a DVD player, or a bottle of coke. They are simply property, and can be destroyed at will when they are hurting someone.

Retorts like that are what make FR so fun. LMAO

And for those curious about how my story in post #19 ended:

My relative (the pit bull owner) payed the UPS man $1000 to forget about the dog attack. My relative got off easy, very easy.
