I have to admit, I'd rather see that sort of thing than the freaking out over the cuddly animals being tortured with Crayola. I've watched kids get dragged into streets and had a friend with facial scars because people didn't respect their dog's predatory instincts and the need to channel them with training.

On a lighter note: there's a woman in my building with a little corgi. The thing seems to love snow, and tends to go proposing in it in the winter time. It's so cute to watch it burrow in, surface, leap to a new spot and continue on. It's like some bizarre land dolphin

Well, I can see some sense in the argument. The wank I was thinking of, specifically, really got my goat because the guy was insisting that no animal, regardless of temperament or training, was ever safe; that it was impossible to train the 'murderous instinct' out of them; and that it was impossible to for a human to ever be able to read an animal's body language and that people who said they could were just fooling themselves.

Oh, right! The extremist faction. I always forget about those nutterbutters. I think my brain blanks them out in self defence. Did any dudes with guide dogs rip him a new one over his idiocy? Anyone mock him over the idea that earthworms will come and strangle us in our sleep? Because there are a lot of animals out there, and there's a fair number of 'em that are completely harmless.

	My miniture dauchshund does that! He also kind of looks like a land shark when there is no snow, or at least he does from my perspective when walking him. The legs are invisible at that angle, so there's just this long body sinnewing back and forth while simultaneously bouncing up and down. (Reply to this)(Parent)
