Sucks being responsible. |
Damn - I was hoping
someone would bite harder than that!
Kaneman - guilty as charged. I see what you're saying re: many pits/rotts 'trained to hate humans', and while I agree that it's part of the issue, my feeling is that it doesn't explain away the numbers being skewed so highly towards those two types in particular. Just an opinion that can't be proven/disproven by lies, statistics and more lies though. And I'd still be far more worried about dangers presented the 'scumbag'-owner element than any of their 'viscious' dogs.
One thing that jumped out at me doing a little reading though - supposedly 1/3 of homeowners' insurance claims result from dog-related claims? Wow - seems hard to believe it could be that high. Does your ins. company ask if you own dogs (or specific breeds) & jack your rates?
