Staffs are they all vicious???

[DrKym]

Maybe its me but I dont understand why the dogs life is of more value than the swan. Isnt it possible that with all the best intentions and good training some creatures arent meant to be pets. I understand that if I had a lion as a pet and at some point it attacked someone, it could be said it is just its nature. So why couldnt that be true of these terrier type dogs if it is there nature then surely it is irresponsible to own such dogs. It was a swan this time but what if it was a child.

I am sorry, do you not read?

I am confused. nobody said the dog's life was more valuable than the swan ..
they both are valuable but swans have never been pets and will never be pets. We never did compare the swan to a child either. it'd be different if it were a child, I am sure. but I have never been in the situation where my dogs have bit a child, fortunately and I hope that doesn't happen.
By you asking if ALL staffs are vicious, NO they are not. some can be just like ANY dog but that seriously depends how they are treated and raised.

and no, wolfsoul I don't carry pepper spray.. I was just saying it's more humane. I carry a stick when I walk my dogs to protect both of us. I knew this thread was going to be a huge debate yet again and I am sick of it.

I completely understand, it does sound more safe -- however my friend's aunt went blind after having pepper spray in her eyes. It isn't at all what it's cracked up to be, and it's coming close to being banned since it's caused so many deaths.

I haven't ever had to use it and hope I don't have to. but I know of an animal control officer that carries it just incase he gets attacked by a dog or cat.
