Originally reported by the Edinburgh Press “A dog owner was left horrified after her Staffordshire bull terrier was viciously mauled by a collie during its daily walk in the latest in a spate of dog attacks in the area.”
A pit bull attacked is not the usual headline, in fact a new blog “Dog Attacks You Never Hear About” argues that pit bull attacks are far outnumbered by other breeds and that the media is biased in it’s reporting. While I don’t like to read about any attack, I have to agree with the blogger. Pit bulls are attacked every time, one pit bull attack attracts a barrage of international media but almost any other dog bite doesn’t merit front page.
But is that the media’s fault ? or us, the consumers of their trade ?
I spent some time scrolling thru the blog and there are several pit bulls maimed by other breeds and lots of lab attacks, a few collies and as the blogger says the blog is to show that all dogs are capable of biting and it is most often due to human error. Either directly by provoking or indirectly by failing to train and socialize youngs dogs or the dogs are victims of abuse and neglect.
The blog is not for the light of heart but it is enlightening….
