Tounge in cheek look at reality

I know this is satire, but you know what? It sounds exactly how it is. I'll let it speak for itself...

The link didn't work but knowing you I am guessing Dunfords piece in the Scum today. Very true and rather humourous at points

Yes, it pokes fun at the standing commity, but the headline in the SUN reads( ban that canine) and has a picture of two pit's that killed a lab pup. Unfortunately most people will read the headline, the story on the two pit's, and decide the ban is a good thing, without realizeing the artical is about what a witch hunt this whole issue really is, all dogs have teeth, all dogs can use them, and it's up to the owner to safeguard the public, and other pets.

Finally

He is definitely using the right word. It be funny if the sad reality wasn't that it is based on the truth. At least some of the press sees it as a witch hunt too.

It just paints such a perfect picture. How many of the attempted "attacks" in the last few weeks do you think were the result of the dogs trying to play? I mean, c'mon. A ten year old was able to fight off three of them? I've got pictures I wouldn't dare post, because they look like Daisy is in full attack, "I'm gonna eat your eyebrows" mode. Really, she is barking and wiggling her butt like 90, but everyone is being so trained to see every move as aggressive. My wife had a small dog become VERY aggressive with her. Guess who got yelled at when Daisy growled? Guess who's glad he wasn't there, because he doesn't know if he'd have been as composed as his wife, or Daisy?

I was reading it on the subway this morning and the guy beside me said good thing they are going to ban them. Wrong comment to the wrong person poor guy got an education this morning on his way to work bet he never talks to anyone on the subway again. But he listened and said maybe I was a little right, but it made him think and that I felt was a start. I laughed while I read it 42 teeth they have only them or all dogs?
