I scanned it.You apparently didn't read my earlier post. I went into a yard with four very large male pitbulls, at least 90 lbs of muscle each. Each chained strategically to cover the yard. I started talking to them the moment I saw them to get a gauge on their character. Avoided one, petted the other three. They ate it up, and not violently lol. The owner was shocked when he saw me at the door. I've been bitten several times over the years. None were pits. I've certainly seen pits behind fences I wouldn't go near.
One time in New Mexico the recipient didn't respond to the doorbell. Thought I heard something in the backyard so walked around. Was a pitbull on a massive chain. Guessing it was because of the chain but he was the most muscular dog I've ever seen. Something about his demeanor told me he was ok so I walked over to him. As I approached he put his face down between his paws and wagged his little tail hard. I stood there for several minutes scratching his ears and talking sweetly to him. He acted like it was the best thing that ever happened to him. Got all sad when I left. It broke my heart to see a dog that great spend his days on that chain.
You guys like to say things like coward and no nuts, etc. While you're ascribing that to me I just go do things that you would never do. Like travel overseas or approach fierce looking dogs. It's easy to say places or dogs or whatever are too dangerous. How do you know if what you're basing it on is hearsay or rare attacks? I hate that those little babies got killed. That their mother got mauled. Absolutely terrible. But I don't know what had happened to that dog in the past that triggered him. There may be more to the story although no excuses for what happened. I'm certainly not going to want millions of dogs outlawed or destroyed because of a relative handful of tragic events.
I'll read it intently after this.
That said, I assume the grandparents had the same thoughts about their dogs.
Further I assume the mother of the children had the same opinion of the dogs.
We know the rest of the story.
This type of tragedy might be uncommon, it is however not unheard of.
I would never have placed my boys in that situation, their mother would not as well.
You aren't a father of children. You don't understand the protection that a mother or father of their children will extend. I didn't extend the same liberties to my boys that I did to myself.
Likewise I know my father didn't extend like liberties to me or my sister or brother.
I've got a brain, I choose not to put myself in a position, knowingly, of potential harm.
You be you van.

I will note I take exception to lumping me in with those that have condemned you in your travels.
Do you give me permission to give my quotes of our PM's concerning what I have said about them?
I can handle someone disagreeing with my point of view. I know how to deal with what was laid to me as well.
That was pretty low Tex.
