Now that dog as well as another dog (a Pit Bull), were removed from this home. A man has offered to adopt and save this dog, and says 500 people have come about in offering support for this dog. Not only that, but lawyers and dog trainers have also voiced that they would like to help.
There is also a PayPal account for any donations in saving this dog.
So my question is, why should this dog not be killed? It killed another human being while the other dog (the Pit Bull) didn’t harm the baby. I truly cannot understand why people are contributing to save this dog, yet you never hear people contributing OR setting up PayPal accounts towards a memorial to help out a family who has lost a member.
Your thoughts. Should this dog be saved or killed?
Today in news, I heard that a cop shot down a pit bull who was roaming around a park without leash, and intimidating people and other pets. In that county, an unleashed pit bull is a violation and owner would be ticketed.
News radio, instead of sayingt that cop did the right thing, presented a report with literally a sad violin in the background and owner crying about cop killing her dog. WTH.
Good thing is that county prosecutors are thinking of charging the owner for the violation.
I like dogs, but I think some people here care more for animals than they do people, and it's kinda weird.
It can be hard to understand the amount of loyalty and love they give you and imo having experienced that it would take a very cruel person to not appreciate and be immensely thankful for it. My dog would prob give his life for me and I know many other ppls dogs would prob do the same so if there was ever a danger of him being put down I would see it as my responsibilty to stop that (esp as he obviously can't speak up for himself)..
knife falls from counter and chops your big toe off.
bad knife?
It' pretty hard to compare a dog killing a baby to that Q.
There are thousands of dogs who are euthanized only because there aren't enough homes to take them in. They have never hurt a human being, let alone killed one. No one is offering to take them in, yet people are making such a big deal on THIS dog?
^I think that is honestly just down to publicity.. When there are appeals on tv for dogs looking to be rehomed ppl rush to adopt them..
Am sure this is going to sound crazy to a non-dog owner but if your toddler (I say this because apparently an average dog has the same level of intelligence as a 2yr old child) accidentally killed another child would you want him to be executed or rehabilitated so it never happened again?
Because people who have pets over time start to consider that pet as a family member. I have a friend whose dog passed away and he considered the dog like his sister. If you don't have a pet it isn't something that you will understand. An innocent life is an innocent life be it human or not.

Because toddlers (who cant survive on their own) are comparable to dogs who once upon a time used to be wild animals, and still can go back to their roots, right?
**This has nothing to do with having little or no experience with dogs. If a dog kills an innocent human, then he is capable of doing that again. **
**What is so difficult about that to understand?

I highlighted those words in red because you seem to be ignoring the fact that this thread is about dogs who have killed people, not with a 9mm or a knife, but with their own teeth.
That dolling up dogs wasnt directed at you by the way.
*NO, not every dog (like every person) would have it in them to necessarily kill again which is what you seem to have implied.. They could have killed by 'accident' or might ONLY attack when scared or panicked or provoked *(or because they were neglected or not well-trained) which means their behaviour can be worked on or corrected. It's obviously NOT the same as having some sort of bloodthirsty nature (of course some dogs, like people, may be naturally more aggressive or more shy but that in no way would apply to them all)..
Anyway, Gaia's thread is going off into a direction she prob won't want so I won't say anymore on this.. Reading up to learn facts would be better than trying to pass off an emotional and uninformed response (eg 'once they taste blood, they will want more') as reality..
Ok Deebs, I will say exactly that in court, when my dog bites someone to death.
I will just say: "My dog killed your little son, because he panicked. It was just an accident and he won’t do it again, atleast not to your son "
No remorse for the dead person, as long as doggy is fine.
And no where did I say they have a bloodthirsty nature. All I said was that their instincts can be triggered.
But I will shush now, because you seem to be having a Master Degree in Higher Dog Studies, and what do I know. I am just another emotional uninformed person :k:

The family who's 3 day old died, asked for the dog to be removed before they came back to the hospital. How could they live with this "family member" if it killed their child? They only want the Pit Bull back (since it was't the attacker).
I understand animals can become like family members, but once it has killed a human being, I just don't understand how people can sympathize with the dog, rather than the family who has lost a member.
Furthermore, I also do not understand why people want to make donations for this Husky, yet those same people haven't stepped into an animal shelter to go save those dogs who have never hurt anyone. Some of those dogs get put to death, because they're not "cute" enough to be adopted.
PayPal account for a DOG??? REALLY? There is no PayPal for this baby's funeral, but the dog must be saved.
