Six injured in dog attack

[rioted]

So now it's down to how they are treated, not because they are inherently dangerous. Make your mind up!

They are inherently dangerous, but can be trained/domesticated/socialised not to be. But if they are not trained or treated badly they will revert to their inherent nature.

Cats probably only started living with humans to keep mice and rats out.

I wish the 5 living next door would keep the rats away. But they're too pampered/lazy.

It always surprises me that people think that cats should be loyal. They aren't pack animals like dogs. Their interaction with humans is only for the most selfish of reasons, ie their own survival. I'm constantly surprised anyone should be surprised it should be any other way.

They've co-habited with man since ancient egyptian times, I suppose it is the lone hunter thing that keeps those furry ponces so aloof from humanity. A dog feels his mutual dependancy keenly whereas a cat is a cunt beloved by trots, sociopaths and wrong 'uns

I should so get a dog

I can categorically state that a dog will love you like you are God, while also using his big scary jaw to defend you against bad people

You're a wrong un.

Actually, some cats do feel the need to pay for their board and keep by bringing 'presents' of half mangled birds/ mice to their masters. Wish they wouldn't tho.

they are sociopath bastards that wouldn't understand loyalty if it slapped them in the face.

Great companions for us sociopathic bastards though.

A dog is a terror bastard and his jaws are the last thing you will see. A cat will toy with you, drawing out your death throes for it's own personal amusement. Wrongness

But I'm not likely to be attacked, much less killed, by a cat.

If as a grown person you cannot exert dominance over a dog, then I fear for you. Even the baddest of bad dogs will bend if you exhibit some force.

Pffffffffffft! What when it's running at you trying to take lumps out of you? What a way to blame the victims "you should have known how to control it"?? Err it should have been under control by it's owners already, more like.

of course bad ownership will raise a bad dog but I can take most breeds tbh. I know your negative experiences have coloured your view of the noble beast but some of us can control them and protect our vulnerable family members from them.

If you have a cat and a dog and you die, the cat will start eating you first.

Yet most people complain that their cats are fussy buggers, while the dog will eat anything, including the sofa. Never quite worked that one out.

For the whole cat/dog thing read Rudyard Kipling's Just so Story "The Cat who Walks by Himself". http://www.boop.org/jan/justso/cat.htm

All dogs are either sentimental sycophants that lick your face or yobs that bite - like most dog owners.
