Ok - so stop breeding horses too, right? About 20 people a year are killed in horse-related accidents. Probably not toddlers though, so you don't care. How many animals that kill 5 to 10 people per year and aren't "required for daily life" would you kill off exactly? Why don't you get off of Jezebel and find some…

anyway, let's just agree that dog breeding should be stopped and/ or regulated strictly, at least until shelter populations are bearable and humane. And I agree that dogs deserve space and exercise and that kids and dogs should always be closely monitored, even when you know your dog wouldn't hurt a fly, because…

So you would take away the 80% of the domesticated dog population that is loving and brings socialization and happiness and companionship to kids and families in order to avoid an inherent risk that is associated with interacting with pretty much all living things? I mean, thank god 97% of the world would think you're…

I just fail to understand how it's dogs that so enrage you if your goal is to end toddler deaths, when there were 15 reported deaths of children under age 10 due to dog attacks last year and 1,640 reported child homicides in 2012 due to abuse and neglect ALONE - factor in all of the other ways kids are killed every…

You're not going to get an argument from me about the need to decrease and regulate dog breeding; the shelter system is a travesty, and too many people own dogs in cities not equipped for dog ownership and consequently have dogs with anxiety issues. CHECK. Precisely why I am a dog FOSTER and not a dog owner in…

And furthermore, I know that you didn't mean eradicated as in killing - but it is still sociopathic to suggest dogs should be be essentially rendered extinct because some people have been hurt or killed by them. Of course I have empathy for this little girl and straight up RAGE at the owners of those pitbulls. And I…

Do you not get that dogs don't know right from wrong? Do you think that Jaws was real, and that dogs are going around mauling little girls because they are evil? No - only humans have the ability to decide they're going to act a certain way, even if they were taught otherwise. Dogs do what they are taught/told or act…

You're not going to get any argument from me on any of that - dogs should always be on-leash, for human and their own safety. But the original question is still ludicrous.

Also Isha - if you really wanted this article to be about this little girl being discriminated against by some idiot teenager, maybe you could have left "mauled by pitbulls" out of the headline? Sensationalist much?

If you are seriously suggesting that all dogs be eradicated to make the world a safer place, I am seriously considering researching you and making a call to 911; that's the kind of proposition you discover in the journal of the gunman the day after.

But how is the logical solution to ban dog ownership and/or euthanize perceived dangerous dogs? Dogs that are raised properly are a benefit to society and families, not to mention all of the highly skilled seeing eye and other rehabilitative and service dogs out there. Dog attacks and bad behavior are almost…

I kind of like it - it sexualizes men and makes them appear vulnerable in the same way most clothing does women....it would never catch on among straight men in "Merica of course for that reason....

Ridiculous comparison. First of all, you have no idea what my stance on gun control is or what I know about guns. Secondly, assuming I favor strict gun regulations like any normal human being would, I don't need to know anything about guns to know that there is no purpose for them in people's homes beyond killing or…

ask a disrespectful question, get a disrespectful answer.

Because pits are AWESOME, loveable, hilarious, cuddly dogs. If they're treated and raised properly. Whoever said it is innate in pits to be dog and predator aggressive is an idiot. If you raise a pit from a pup in a loving household with kids and/or cats and socialize it properly, it will never attack anyone. Just…

Premise: People who associate fault for dog attacks with dog breeds rather than people, thereby sanctioning breed specific bans and euthanasia, should be monitored for sociopathic behavior. Discuss.

This is a ridiculous question. I'm so glad you asked it though. It is equivalent to asking whether we should kill all bears because many people have been mauled by them. Or perhaps better, whether we should eradicate bees because some people are allergic and get killed by them each year. You insufferable, egotistical…

This gorgeous little girl is a victim of irresponsible PEOPLE. Contrary to what you idiots believe, animals do not have the ability to reason. Jaws was NOT REAL! Bambi was NOT REAL! The Lion King was MADE UP!! I'm sorry :( but animals do not have free will. They do what we tell them to and nothing else. So if humans…

Look, no one should ignore the fact that many bully breed dogs are used for horrible purposes, and as a result, often have behavioral problems, mainly dog aggression. No one should ever leave a small child alone with any dog, including pitbulls, and training is essential. But you do not simply euthanize or ban an…
