Pitbull attacks child in Mumbai

The kind of ‘enticing’ you talk about is not the primary concern in India, afaik.
Massive number of stray dog attacks in public, brutal attack by unrestrained or uncontrollable dogs and morbid deaths due to that, rabies deaths and the need of effective efficient vaccine, etc. is India’s primary concern.

I think the video clearly shows that The man was not enticing the dog to attack the kid.

If you hear the kid’s interview. He said his friends ran away after seeing the dog entering the auto but he got stuck and that man definitely not helped in giving the child space to run and be in safe position.

He took very lightly with his safety and that should definitely be held responsible but also to be fair to him…he did not made the dog attack the kid.

Luckily dog too seemed to be little easy otherwise that dog can rip flesh in one bite.

They are most dangerous for a reason..

Yes you are right.
In fact when a foreign dignitary landed from US in 2014 I think GHMC painted all stray dogs to green colour to make them look enticing to the dignitary. I mean made to look more pleasant.

You have to read this article again.

You are overthinking :rofl::rofl: point is if I show u a video a man beating a woman should we ban all men and put leash on them ? :grimacing: Think about it generalizing any caste community race gender or animal based on an individual’s action is stupid ..

And no I am not justifying shit, but if someone on street throws stone let’s say on you or beats you with stick what would ur reaction be or few men in group harrass you ?

I wasn’t justifying anything just trying to say that sometimes actions ( right or wrong and no not justifying anything ) are provoked and even law justifies aggression if it’s self defence ..

But I know such people most people now just want to read what they want and want to be offended on purpose and news just caters to them so good luck but I won’t be commenting here anymore , there’s a reason dogs have been called man’s best friend every in ever languages literature ..

My perspective isn’t about generalizing all dogs as dangerous or bad. It’s about acknowledging that not everyone feels safe or comfortable around them, and that discomfort is valid too.
Just like some people have phobias of heights or enclosed spaces, others have had negative experiences with dogs—whether due to trauma, cultural upbringing, or personal preference.

Quite intelligent, very bright, you are exactly the kind which are so used to ruling India. /s
Great comment equaling stupid humans with poor dogs.
Even stupid humans have free will, know how to be self responsible and are liable to follow law.
Dogs are not, that is why dogs are human’s responsibility.

When millions of human’s life is at risk for utter stupendous reasons, this is the logic you have.
At least learn from new British law of removing aggressive breeds of dogs from the society. Do you see discussions on lack of collective civil (common) sense in Indians ? This is how it work.

You better not comment.

Here bothered only about millions of Indians suffering and those several dozens undergo brutal deaths due to utter lack of Indian civil sensitivity and collective will.

The sole root cause behind this very thread’s title and it’s outcome.

It’s entirely the owner’s fault. He shouldn’t just be behind bars or bailed, since it was not only intentional and the fact that he was laughing when the whole thing was taking place right in front of his eyes he should be charged in the highest criminal act possible under the law.
Pitties already have a very bad reputation because of owner’s problems. If the court doesn’t take strict action against the owner this incident has the potential to set a very bad consequence for the dogs and stray/Pitties in particular.

Pit Bulls Unleashed : Should They Be Banned? - The Fifth Estate

If I remember correctly, in one of the cases, the dog mauled the owner’s infant.

Saying we shud leash all men because someone showed a video of a man abusing a woman is a lazy deflection. Humans and dogs are not the same. Dogs act on instinct. Humans have free will, laws, and moral responsibility. Expecting the same standards from a dog as from a human is a category error, because one can be trained but not held ethically responsible, while the other is expected to know right from wrong. That is why we hold people accountable. How many dogs have you seen being jailed or made to pay fines, made to come to court and defend?

Highlighting this issue is not generalizing all dogs, it is addressing a real safety concern. Deflecting with sarcasm or emotional appeals does not solve the problem. It only blocks the conversation needed to prevent future harm. Poor arguments or sarcasms don’t resolve issues or give ideas.

List of banned breeds is very small. But they have a useful clause that is worth discussion

‘Dangerously out of control’ and it applies to any dog. We have no equivalent for that clause as yet.

These laws date to '91. So some one or some child must have been grieveously harmed or worse for the media to whip up a frenzy, cause enough public outrage that then creates enough support in parliament to pass such a law.

You want change. Pray for things to get worse. That’s the only way change comes.

So this case must be tracked then.

I’m not optimistic at all. No grievous harm was caused. There also is a problem with showing malafide intent.

At most it’s like bullying. That man is using an animal to bully a child. As ridiculous as it sounds.

Unfortunately, this case came to attention only because victim was a child and dog owner was in pathetic mood.

There were several cases reported in which owners themselves were mauled to death, whereas in others people injured badly.
Court cases in India take it’s own way…

Quite correct, why his modus operandi of inciting a dog should be taken seriously by authorities.

In UK, they are updating the law timely: Minister aims to define what a 'dangerous dog' is for Jersey law
Punishing aggressive listed as dog owners for owning one without registration. India being a big country should make sure more stringent rules are in place.

Aggressive pets are only one side of the problem in India, stray dog attack in groups is more dangerous.

Another traumatic Video of Dog attacking and owner…
