I wouldn’t even trust a regular dog with a 3mo baby let alone a half wolf
That baby deserved better
Those kids deserve better
That animal deserved better
Those parents deserve jail
“Yum yum yum “. Said the wolf
Ah, daily news story about a canine attacking and or killing some one, especially a child or baby.
Dog nutters will never learn.
Ok let’s see. A quick google indicates that there are 76,811,305 pet dogs in the united states. A forbes article estimates there are 4.5 million dog bites per year, and about 800,000 of those require any sort of medical attention, and 30-50 of those are fatal. According to the CDC that’s about the same as annual childhood deaths from the flu
For comparison:
48,830 people died from gun-related injuries in the U.S., according to the CDC
Guns are also a leading cause of death in children and adolescents specifically
or what about
There are nearly 43,000 fatal [vehicle] crashes a year [in the US]
Also consider the positive effects of having a pet, which is proven to increase happiness
Then you also have to consider that many dog bites and attacks happen due to strays (~15% according to that same Forbes article), provocation, negligence, or abuse. The average family, if they are remotely dog literate, has very little to worry about. It seems to me a fear or hatred of these animals stems from ignorance, as does hatred and fear of many things.
That’s the problem, this wasn’t a dog. This was a dog/wolf hybrid, which is more aggressive than a normal dog. That’s one reason why this is national news. The article also says that there were more children in the home too, so the owner should be charged with multiple charges of child endangerment as well as manslaughter in the death of the baby.
This isn’t just a dog attack story.
Here’s an idea- DON’T KEEP FUCKING WILD ANIMALS AS PETS! I don’t care if it’s half-dog, it’s still a wild animal. There’s a reason we domesticated wolves.
saw a video recently that seemed to indicate that wolves initiated the domestication - scavenging from human’s trash & getting less wild over time.
but yeah, dont left half-wild animals near children
Ehhhhh, i dont really agree. Whats wild? Cats arent domesticated. Snakes, turtles, lizards, and birds arent domesticated either but theyre kept as pets fairly easily.
What do you mean cats aren’t domesticated?
The cat (Felis catus), commonly referred to as the domestic cat or house cat, is the only domesticated species in the family Felidae. Recent advances in archaeology and genetics have shown that the domestication of the cat occurred in the Near East around 7500 BC.
He means they don’t make baked goods, or have a cocktail waiting for you after getting home from a hard day’s work.
