Then I suggest not participating in such threads that spew such "garbage."
It is just frustrating to read the same excuses in each of the cases.
1. The press got it wrong, it wan't a Pit Bull ( couldn't do that on this one because it was confirmed by the police that it was.
2, The Victim must have done something to provoke it..... The remark about the 6 year old victim not being asleep, but maybe she moved or had the audacity to roll over while she was sleeping , and that must have provoked the nice dog. This is an especially often used type of excuse and to me it's like blaming rapes on the victim, when no other excuse can be fabricated..
3. The dog shouldn't have been left alone with the victim.. Well hello, when a dog is allowed in a home with other people living there, the dog usually can't be followed around and constantly monitored
24/7 to make sure it doesn't attack one of the people in the home. Having to live like that sounds more like your living wih a Tiger or a leopard as opposed to a dog.
I think that making non-sensical statements like these, as an excuse for what happened, deserves some sort of response challenging them, if for no other reason than to keep the focus on the animal that caused the tragedy and off blaming the victim or the press..... That is why I post in these threads.
