Follow Up on Simi Valley Death

Here is a decent article on that poor little girl that lost her life after bleeding to death from dog bites. Honestly, I am impressed that with this quote about the dog, "not aggressive, just fearful." Folks, the fact that someone in a government position that works with animals is aware of the difference in aggression and fearful-ness is a step in the right directions.

More so, something to think about for all the folks that keep (and make excuses for) dogs that are fearful of the most novel situations.

Re: Follow Up on Simi Valley Death

By far one of the best articles I've read about it pitbull attack. I'm bummed they are distroying Bubba. If his owners took him to a behaviorist, his problems could possibly be worked out, he's still young. I'm glad they included what they did about the pitbull though.

And about 10 year olds not being left alone with a dog. A lot of dog bites would be prevented if parents would realize their dogs are dogs, and not furry humans.

it's about time they started to think in shades of grey and not just black and white....it's not always just one way or another, there's more to it than that.....to badd he will still be euthanized, however...i t should be based on the outcome of the findings, IMO
