A little while ago, I wrote that I believed the keeping of pets was wrong; I also pointed out that some pets, particularly dogs, could be dangerous.
I read in today's news that a woman has died in south London after being attacked by a dog. The dog was later shot by armed police, but will we never learn until it is too late ? All dogs bite, the bigger the dog, generally the harder and more destructive the bite; add to this their claws and you have effective killing machines, which is what they are designed to be.
If the death had been caused by a pet leopard or lion, even a pet snake, there would be uproar, but it was a dog. Darling little thing, it must have been provoked; it was the owner's fault or someone was nasty to it.
Balderdash. It was a dog, and dogs can kill.
