Pitbull kills toddler.......yet again.

[The Antagonist]

Ant, if there is some favorite way you like to hear it expressed that, unlike inanimate objects, animals can go out and hurt people on their own ... feel free to fucking type it, print it, and hang it on your wall.

I already did - You don't need to use the exact wording but you should most certainly have gotten the idea. See the quote of myself below.

It's amazing how Frank does not understand his own words. Simply amazing.

ON THEIR OWN - do you not get that Frank?

Animals do not have that capacity to make that complicated of a decision. PERIOD.

Now if you said, "any animal can get loose and harm someone because of a number of reasons to provoke an attack." then there wouldn't be an issue in what you said. But your wording clearly says you believe animals can make complex decisions to go out and hurt humans.

If a dog bites you unprovoked..........just shoot the fucker. Toot-fini.

You are 100% right Maggot. Any animal that attacks unprovoked has probably been poorly bred, untrained, not socialized and allowed to roam free as if it's a wild dog and is dangerous. It is rare when it happens but unfortunately it does and not with only pit bulls or other "dangerous" breeds. More dog bites happen from small "innocuous" breeds to small children than the percentage of 'dangerous dogs' mauling people. 'Innocuous' breeds have killed as well and plenty.

But the concept of provocation has it's own meaning to everyone as I've found out in these same discussions long ago on 24. OP was the first one to twist my words when I described that dogs will not attack unless provoked in some way. He decided that I think dangerous animals should run free and never be put down when I said no such thing.
I was only explaining there is rarely a case of unprovoked acts and that IN A DOG's EYES/MIND what looks like unprovoked to a human is not to them.
