Great Danes kill their owner

human bites tend to be full of nasty infectious bacteria that dog bites don’t have,

Dog bites can introduce plenty of pathogenic bacteria and should be monitored closely. Seriously if they break skin its a good idea to get checked out. In some cases you may need prophylactic antibiotics, rabies vaccination or tetanus treatment.

Called out for what exactly? Someone getting offended because they thought a message that wasn’t in response to them was calling them out as a likely animal abuser? Calling out a likely animal abuser? No, I’m not going to apologise for that.

Those exact words have been used multiple times in front of me by people who violently lashed out at completely non-aggressive dogs while claiming “self defence” - one involved the police being called and jail time, the other fortunately didn’t cause lasting injury to the dog, but was still the excuse used by an asshole to punt an injured two month old puppy across a room.

If you’re of the opinion that any animal can suddenly turn violent and attack regardless of it’s history and demonstrated nature just because they’re an animal, you’re the one who can’t be trusted near animals, and you should stay away from them.

You are just making random shit up now, aren’t you?

In my personal experience it’s the little dogs whose owners let get out of control more often.

Every vet (including both in my family) secretly hate little dogs for exactly the reasons you say.

And

@anon73430903

Some dogs have an increased genetic likelyhood of aggression, because some people are more concerned about the purity of the breed than the health of the dogs.

I like big mutts, and I cannot lie.

I’ll see myself out now.

But dogs are great! Sure you have a thing in your house that can kill or maim you without blinking an eye, but as a trade off, it’s loud annoying, stupid, smelly, and you have to buy it food and clean up its shit.

Guess you don’t have kids, eh?

Statistically speaking you are more than a thousand times more likely to be murdered by a human than killed by a dog. So the real question is why so many people are crazy enough to allow another human in their home.

[anon65652885]

I do, but I’d kinda blanked out the poopy phase. I think that blanking is a mechanism that makes people consider having more kids.

True story, too.

A Kenneth Anger story from Hollywood Babylon. Apparently not true though.
