Pets such as dogs when they have little kids of their own.
Tiem and time again I hear of little babies and toddlers savagely eaten/killed by dogs, not just any dog but family pets..
Stupid bloody parents, How thick can you be not to realise that these animals are unpredictable. The parents are as much to blame as the dog.
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
You're right. I've actually talked to some people about it. I always get the same answer
"our dog is very friendly. He likes playing with my baby. My baby likes the dog too."
Another thing that I hear very often is, "we take him to the vet regularly. There is nothing wrong with him".
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
yes u are right but here in america i think people love dogs more than their kids.And thats whats coming into desis also and i don't think i have found any american family without dogs.But in islaam you cannot have dog in ur house.
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
I never had a dog in my house when I was a kid but as a Kid, I used to play with our pet dog outside all the time. Yes, I wasn’t mauled :D. My dog actually saved my life 2 times in Pakistan, one when I was 5, the other when I was 12. 
.
It’s not dog’s that kill people. It’s people that kill people.
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
Try telling that to the girl who is now mauled so badly by a pet dog that her life is danger. She is 3 years old
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
Blaming all dogs for the depravity of one dog? Isn't that saying all human beings are dangerous just because one goes ahead and kills someome? Sterotyping works both ways :D. Even animals don't like getting sterotyped against I bet. I wish the girl a speedy recovery.
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
My nephew's three weeks old and his parents have two dogs..they were trained months ahead of time on how to behave around the baby, the big dog just stays away from teh baby and the smaller dog likes to kiss the baby even tho my bhabhi doesnt let her. but theyr'e really safe an careful around the baby
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
What really is the point of keeping dog in house or dogs, they CAN do harm, but i can't understand what good can come of them.
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
i have no idea. companionship i guess.. :(
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
If people really have to keep pets around babies, they have to be extra extra careful I suppose. I don't see anything wrong with it, but seem people just dont take care of their pets like they should, and in that case they shouldnt have them at all.
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
This is not an issue of "stupidity" but rather one of cultural difference.
There are millions upon millions of households in western countries who have pets - without horrifying results such as those reported above. When there are this many millions of households with pets, it only goes to follow that there will be a handful of "accidents" where parents are not as vigilant as they should be, or a pet is hurt by a child and responds with an attack etc.
Westerners do indeed love their pets, have them indoors and see nothing wrong with it.
Myself, I have 3 very young boys, 2 dogs and a cat. The boys have learned, even at their very early ages - responsibility (make sure they have clean, cool water and food, let me know if the doggies want to go out); kindness (dont hurt the doggies, they will cry. Dont hurt kitty, he will scratch); and just plain fun (dogs have been their friends and protectors since they were born.)
It goes without saying that it is a big responsibility to make sure boys and pets get along and are always supervised. Baby gates have come in very handy and we are ever vigilant with them all.
The chance of having something horrifying (as above) is so infinitesimally small - compare the number of households with pets to the number of "attacks" ....its more likely that you'd get struck by lightning than be attacked by a household pet. The benefits of having a pet - to both young and old have been well documented and researched, many hospitals use "visiting pets" as palliative and recuperative therapies for their patients.
Those of you who were raised to beleive that pets are dirty and belong outside or that pets are dangerous will not understand but try to see that its a cultural thing and has so much more to do with how you were raised than with the actual (perceived) "danger" of owning a pet.

I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 4 canaries and 1 parrot in my house. A proverbial zoo so to speak since I was a baby and none of them hurt me. You are right in saying that these are rare instances which don't really potray the warmth, companionship and love pets give you as you grow up. I miss my pets and I wouldn't have gone back on anything I shared with them.
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
Mama i dont think its an issue of cultutal difference, but an issue of responsibility on the parts of the parents, regardless of which culture they beling to.
First of all the type of dog is very important, if you have pit bulls, you know you have a potential issue.
second is how is the dog trained, you can have dogs from the same species act very differently depending on how they are trained.
Third and the most important is how reponsible are the parents?
..so people have given their examples, and their families examples, yes you and your family are respinsible people with well trained dogs, but can that be said for everyone.
The saddest part if when its not even your dog, but that of some irresponsible son of a ***** across the street...
There is reason certain breeds are not allowed in some comunities, and even in some countries.
So..if someone did decide to keep an infant and an illtrained agressive rottweiler or a pit bull under the same roof, and then the kid gets mauled, whose fault it that..the kids? the dogs? or the parents?

Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
dogs have gotten a bad rep in most islamic countries which is very undeserved. humans have used dogs for milleniums as their companions for everythign from safety, to help hunting, using dogs for herding(this is and still is one of the main reason people keep dogs in pakistan, especially up in northern areas).
and iconolost you said that no good can come out of dogs, well, thats not true, dogs can be used a s aform of protection, as a mean of guardign your house. For example, if a robber tries to break into a house, im sure he would think twice about entering a house with a german shepard or doberman standing guard.

all parents that have pets are stupid, because all dogs and pets seemingly eat kids.
this logic reminds me of something else...hmm...aaah...yes yes....all muslims are terrorists.
there are other such similar ignorant phrases:
all shias are kaafir and eat sunni babies (LOL...ive actaulyl heard that from a bearded schmuck, at a mosque)
all americans are evil (every mullah will say that)
all pakistanis are terrorists (every hindu movie portrays that)
everythings the fault of the jew (no not borats line, but we say it too)
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
I am not saying not to keep dogs or pets when you have a baby in the house, I actually think dogs make very good pets, but still, you have to be very careful because they are, after all animals and babies are very prone to some of the germs and bacteria that dogs carry... I have actually come across one person, who was so attached to his dog, but had to give it away when he had his first born.
Re: Stupid parents that keep pets
a UN study with the help of baylor medical uni (i think thats the uni), proves that the ****ter used commonly in Pakistan aka khuddi aka water closet, has literally 7 million more chances of infecting a human with any given particular virus then road kill.
Maybe off topic, but the point should be piercing enough about generalizations.

From Webmd:
*The tendency to allergic diseases like asthma, rhinitis, and eczema is inherited, but children who are exposed to allergens develop the allergy quicker and more strongly. Exposure to allergens early in life is a risk factor for the development of sensitization and allergic disease. *
Cats release an allergen, fel d 1, into the environment which can provoke and worsen asthma. Similarly, dogs, too, release an antigen. These are two of the commonest antigens involved in childhood allergic diseases. 66% of children sensitised to cat antigen have been found to have either asthma, eczema, or rhinitis.
These antigens can persist in the home environment for months after the animal is removed. If there is a family history of allergic disorders, the animal should be removed from the home several months before the baby is born. About a third of childhood asthma can be attributed to allergen sensitisation, and this may not become obvious for some months after a pet is acquired.

Cats and dogs are often host to worms, which can infest children, especially those under 3 years. Many of these worms cannot live normally in humans, and cause abscesses, pneumonia, blindness, and seizures and other brain disease, among several other manifestations.
The scratch of a cat can cause Cat Scratch disease. It is caused by bacteria called Bartonella henselae, and is sometimes difficult to diagnose because of unusual features (it usually shows up as enlargement of the lymph nodes and fever).
Psittacosis (Ornithosis) is an infection acquired from birds like parrots and macaws. Also known as Parrot Fever, it is a pneumonia caused by bacteria called Chlamydia. It is acquired by humans while cleaning the bird cage, or handling a sick bird. This infection can cause illness ranging from mild influenza like illness to life-threatening pneumonia. Infections by Chlamydia do not respond to the antibiotics usually given for pneumonia.
Microsporum canis is a fungal infection that animals (mainly cats) can pass on to humans, which manifests as ringworm. This is an important cause of ringworm in children, especially of the head and neck.
Other diseases that cats carry and can infect children with are Toxoplasmosis, and diarrhoea owing to Cryptosporidium parvum. Reptiles as pets carry a specific health hazard -- salmonellosis. Salmonella are bacteria, and can be transmitted to children sharing a home with snakes, turtles, salamanders, and other reptiles. These bacteria cause abdominal cramps, bloody loose motions, and fever, and are difficult to treat with antibiotics. Cats and dogs can also transmit this infection.
Pets often carry fleas and ticks, and these can transfer to children. They cause severe itching, allergies, and can transmit some dangerous diseases. Good pet hygiene is important to avoid these problems. Dog bites can be very violent, and fractures and other tissue injuries can occur, especially in young children. Dog bite injuries in children often occur on the head and neck, and deaths are known. These usually result from injury to the large blood vessels in the neck.
