Quote from madmunny:
hey i totally agree that pitbulls (actually any kind of dog) are a threat to kids....and i know that a lot of people have issues with pitbulls....as they do with guns, drunk drivers, bombs, or anything else that kills people......and im not saying they shouldnt have issues with them.
what i was saying was that to even bring up the point that the puppy in the story was a pitbull was just retarded. there is nothing a 6 week old pitbull puppy can do that a 6 week old husky, german shepard, chihuahua cant do. This puppy wasnt agressively trying to kill the baby or eat it alive as one did to Bitstreams poor kitty.....this was a puppy chewing like every single other puppy on the planet does.
and i agree that at no time should small children be allowed to play with pitbulls (or any other dog for that matter but especially pitbulls) unattended......and in some cases they shouldnt even be around the kids even when attended by an adult.
this was just a freak accident...as nobody would think that a 6 week old puppy would chew off the toes of a baby......and the media just threw in the part of it being a pitbull to grab peoples attention to get more readers....and it worked so well someone started a thread on ET bashing pitbulls over it.
How can you claim that any puppy is threat to babies, and then call the incident a "freak accident"?
If you're aware of the danger and yet still put the two together, that is not a freak accident.
