killer dogs and idiots...



I was really saddened to read about the little girl who was mauled to death by her uncle's pit-bull terrier today. Ellie Lawrenson died of severe head and neck injuries after being mauled at her grandmother's house in St Helens, UK.



I do not understand why people want to keep a dangerous and volatile breed such as these. Call me stupid but I just don't. and I think some people will agree with me as from one of the comments I read on the BBC site "It's not the dogs that are the problem, it's the irresponsible idiots who own them!"

Possibly, possibly....but at times like these I am elated..yes elated that we don't have dogs in the Maldives (sans the so-called drug sniffers but that's another story).

YES, for those of you who are non-maldivian...THERE ARE NO DOGS IN THE MALDIVES. ZILCH.

now did any one hear of a child being mauled by a "findhana"?

It's like what Chris Rock said. When the hugeass white tiger bit either Siegfreid or Roy when one of them had their head in its mouth people got really mad and said the tiger must've been crazy. But guess what, the tiger was bein a tiger and S&R were the crazy ones. Dogs aren't dangerous. Not all the breeds anyway. You just have to respect your fellow animals and know their limits. I used to feed a stray tomcat in my teens and it slashed my wrists one day but try as I might I couldn't get mad at the bounder. The most dangerous critter in the Maldives or elsewhere is the human being. Wouldn't trust 'em further than I could a bobcat.

Crocodile man of Australia died because of an attack by a ray. Is it because that man was stupid or the fish dangerous? It was neither.

Hamza, as you have said, human being is the most dangerous beast and only one that can premeditate before it unleashes its monstrosity against the unsuspecting victim.

Ali, so how can you NOT BE stupid, if you are willimg to bed with the most dangerous and unpredictable creature of all time?

Hamzah has hit the nail on the head. We have to respect our fellow animals and understand that they are animals, some with killer instinct. That's why I can't understand why people want to try and make pets out of dangerous animals when there are those who are much more pacific and therefore pet-material.

As for bedding the most dangerous critter, I don't try and keep them on a leash hehehe but come to think of it, maybe worth the try. If I get mauled, you'll know what to write for my epitaph...
