Well I have been bitten by several different animals but am still around them. I have been attacked by dogs and cats several times, but it's not their fault. Either they were scared or it was my fault, like in the case where I got too close to a pits face and he bit me in the nose. MY fault, not his. And I still love dogs. I have been bitten by rats, and I still love rats. Her comment was very stupid because is she was bright enough she should know that one bad apple doesn't ruin the whole crop.
