Stupid Government

[Roamy]

I should say Stupid Ass Government
In this thread you post stupid thing you see government do:

India: A town in India has suddenly been overrun by swarms of venomous spiders, leaving two people dead after being bitten.

They are THINKING about spraying with DDT -- Hello what part of deadly are you not getting.

America: Pitbulls and Rotwielers have killed over 140 people in the last few years let alone how many have been maimed and bitten. Hello maybe it is just time to
ban the breeds. Come on honey lets go for a walk - I have the 357 strapped on. I spent a year on a project in Sacramento where we lived on min 10 acre parcels. The people I
leased from had a situation where the neighbors two pit bulls got loose and attacked his wife and their two dogs. She was able to make it back home by fighting off the dogs. When her husband arrived home from work he promptly grabbed his gun and their were two less pit bulls around. Good for him. The police said no problem what so ever.

In respect of the Indian case, don't overlook the religious overtones. In Buddhism andHinduism the philosophy of reincarnation extends to reincarnation as non-human animals. So, within that culture, the offending spiders could be someone's relatives. Hence the need for the government officials to think before taking action.

In NSW, Pitbulls are banned under the Companion Animals Act 1998*. The results of law is such that the rest of your little story wouldn't have even happened. Your're not pitching your case very well.

I think you are missing his point Rollo. You are giving an example of government doing something to fix a potential problem. He is speaking of an instance where another government didn't.... thus "stupid government".

Roamy, you're stupid. I've been a caretaker for pitbulls and they're very gentle creatures. The idea of pitbulls being vicious dogs has been caused by "Mr. Vick's Dogfight Shows." The media just sensationalized the story and made pitbulls seem like the villain, when in actuality it had more to do with irresponsible breeders and owners.

Pitbulls have proven to be very good babysitters in American history. I really don't expect you to know this because I'm sure the extent of your knowledge when it comes to U.S. history is what you see on cable television. A pitbulls innate instinct is to protect its master and their kin with deep affection, and if necessary aggression against any harm.

I really hate being dragged into your mud-slinging fights, but this time I need to school you on some history and common (f)ucking sense. Get your facts straight and quit spouting your nonsense.

Starter, your point is not convincing. Dogs are animals driven by instincts. Aggression is one of those instincts. Owner never fully control their pet's instincts. Something just triggers the reaction and animals go wild. Even a small dog can get aggressive for no reason, but in this case you can at least mitigate consequences. If a killing machine like a pitbull attacks a human being, the consequences are devastating and damage is beyond repair.

[Rudy Tamasz]

Pitbulls are capable of making much more physical damage than, say, the Maltese, aren't they?

[Tazio]

So are Labradors, Setters, Great Danes, etc. Aren't we going to ban those breeds too?

...... ailor: and also the Canari Island Mastiff

That is an extremely valid point D-'. I am continually amazed at how we like to project western culture on peoples that are of a completely different persuasion. Check out this video. I think that after watching it I'm of the belief that Hinduism is the least false religion (although I believe all religion is false, some are just more false than others)
