Blaming ownership for EVERY case of an animal attack is as dumb as blaming every parent who's child goes on to kill someone either while they're still a child or later on in adulthood.

You do realize that humans have a much larger capacity to reason and understand logic than dogs do, right? Just checking.

I'm ambivalent towards the breed in general, so I'm not defending them, I'm just saying.
Obviously. I'm not comparing the intelligence of dogs of humans. I'm simply saying that things.. including people, have minds of their own. Yes, most things are shaped by their environment.. but still have minds of their own. Every dog I've ever encountered has its own little personality. Animals are smart.

..and since you make that point. If a dog has less capacity or reasoning and logic, why is it so hard to believe that a dog could attack someone or something without having a history of bad ownership? That's not directed at you. I just mean that in general.
