do you blame 99% of the parents when little johnnys turns into murderers or rapists ?
they are animals and can turn anytime regardless of how good the owners think they are and unlike many viscious dog owners i certainly wouldnt risk my kids faces to prove my point .
I take it that was directed at me.
With regards to murderers and rapists, in the vast majority of cases their problems stem from their childhood. Usually being physically or sexually abused by their parents or family member. Then there are the small minority (1%) who have mental problems.
Yes there have been cases of the dog just being mental and solely to blame, but it's a tiny percentage compared to cases where the dog has been mistreat by the owner somewhere down the line. And no, I would never leave a child unsupervised with any animal, just like I wouldn't leave a child unsupervised with a baby.
