I have had to shoot too many dogs and cats in my life so far

Old lady, who is not at all dominant, leaves a pack of large dogs in her backyard with 0 socialization with people, and probably has not spent any time asserting her alpha status. She walks out with food, they not only sense weakness, they also see she's got food, so they take what they want.

That's the short and simple version

I think we should ban bears, the way that one took the kid out of tent yesterday and ate him.

Well, you know so much about the topic at hand, that should've immediately set off red flags to you. You're telling me that paragraph seems completely arbitrary to you??

The article caught my attention since the chow is one of the dogs in the proposed ban. And before you go making an assumption, I am not for this ban.

As I stated in another thread, I have no time for any of these types of dogs. But that is just me. I prefer the retriever breeds and have had a life long love for the Labrador Retriever.

And, I could not care less what breed the dog is, I would have any dog put down that showed outright aggression towards a human being. But that does not mean I would ban them all.

What makes you think that stuck out to me oh wise one?

Being the expert you are on the subject, I'm sure that portion of the story immediately stuck out to you. Why don't you remind us all why that might be an issue?

Looks like this chow made chow out of its owner....

Carroll kept the dogs, a male and female from the same litter, in a yard behind her home in Connersville. There were no witnesses, but Todd said authorities believed the male dog, which was the larger of the two, attacked Carroll.

If they ban eating cigarettes, I will finally know that there is no God.

because banning pitbulls and restricting smoking are the same thing!

Are we going to ban eating cigarettes now as well?

No, only eating the smoke

If there is cigarette smoke around your food you're ingesting the resultant chemicals yes...

[Max Power]

Really? What scientific study do you have to back up these claims that smoke doesn't affect the fitness of food? What about the ashes falling into other people's food? We know for a fact that the toxic chemicals in cigarettes is most definitely passed along in the resulting smoke.
