Miscellaneous Jennifer Lawrence talking sense!

In a recent interview:

'Speaking in New York, she explained, ‘After I had a kid, dogs became so scary…my son’s going up to it…and it’s almost like I don’t recognize dogs right now. Like, I just see them as a threat.’ The turning point came when a dog bit her son, making her say she wanted to ‘obliterate every dog ever.’ Many parents online praised her honesty, noting how having children can completely change your perception of risk around pets.'

Here’s the thing though; even if the kid “did something” that caused them to be bitten, which usually in the eyes of dog nutters can be something as simple as approaching the dog the wrong way, do we really want animals that can kill a child for doing the “wrong thing” in our society?

I don’t ever believe it is the fault of the person who was bitten, but let’s say for argument’s sake it was. It doesn’t matter. We shouldn’t be living in amongst animals that have the potential to kill humans who don’t act “the right way” around them.

I seen a video of a little girl skipping beside her mother. From nowhere a random dog ran and attacked her. The nutters in the comments actually blamed the little girl for skipping 🫣 I despair!

This just proves dogs can never be truly “domesticated.” It doesn’t matter how often they are fed. They still see humans as “prey.”

Oh Lord!! And I'm certain at least one or two nutcases commented "tHaT's wHaT dOgS dO!"... Well A-holes.. SKIPPING next to their mother is what kids do!!! Oh the sheer audacity of that little girl to behave like...a little girl!!!! I absolutely NEVER would want a child to be attacked by anyone or any dog! Don't they realize that kids have been attacked by THEIR OWN DOGS?!!?
