dog is dog, the wolf too is dog ( a jungle or mountain dog )... "domestication" is not the right word... how much ever you "domesticate" the dog it can kill you ( the owner ) or your neighbor.
Whether you want to believe or not is entirely upto you, but that doesnt change facts. A Dog is a "domesticated" animal and is considered a household member in many countries.
here's a recent case
[1] from india...
clear pictures in this
[2] article.
yeah, it did protect so clearly above.
I see no point in repeating myself over and over again. A dog will do what its trained to do.
Its the owners fault and not the dogs fault. Otherwise all the dogs and all the pitbulls of the world will be killing humans and children.
This is why it is stressed to keep a breed that suits your needs and lifestyle.
Rottweiler, pit bulls, Bull terriers, Dogo Argentino etc are not for everyone.
here's[3] one instance of how cat ( in this case, a her ) protected those she lived with ( vid present in the source )...
here is how a dog saved owner's kids from a Big cat, A mountain Lion.
do a experiment... when you see a dog gang, throw a stone on the one in the middle... when the dog squeals, see how the rest of the dogs attack it.
Let me explain why does that happen.
You throw a dog out or dont control breeding on the streets. a puppy is born and it grows up. From day one, it sees and experiences its parents, siblings and itself being treated like Crap from humans. Its hurled with stones by humans and kids, its shouted at by humans, beaten with sticks by humans, if one of its pack is injured it sees it die of further tortured by humans on the streets, people throw it food and then when it comes near to eat it they make gestures to hit it and sometimes actually hit it for fun.
So what did the dog learn from day 1? Fear !
Now its response to every action in the pack and in the streets is defending itself built out of fear. whatever is happening around it, like you hit the dog, it will bark in fear, you hit its pack, it will bark or attack its pack member out of fear, you make a threatening gesture to the dog it will tuck its tail between and maybe show you its teeth and thats out of fear too.
If you even touch this dog in a loving way, it will exhibit fear because thats the only response it has learnt.
Now watch these two pictures for the same breed, a german shepherd.
In the first pic the dog is acting out of fear, its not confident, check its body language, see the position of its tail, its lower than the back, see ears laid back, the dog is bending from front and back is raised.
This dog is feeling threatened and its already frightened. Its standing its ground in a weak defensive posture and knows it can lose the ground. It will bite out of fear and maybe run away after first bite Its an untrained dog.
Now look at the dog below,
Ears forward,
tail in excited mode carried above back height,
Body lunging forward confidently to attack.
The dog is raising its body from front and back is lowered.
If you are threatening the owner, this dog will bite your arm off and probably keep biting and restrain you.
This dog is a trained to protect.
i don't use this word too often, but now i will - bullshit !!
Using this word million times wont change facts, Indians should not keep a dog if they cant handle it.
so the 35+ million dogs in india are thrown out from houses??
Mate. I have explained unrestricted street breeding, havent i?
have you not seen my earlier posts where i speak of idiotic software engineer and mba middle-class jobniks and their mothers who feed street dogs despite those dogs having at some point attacked a person??
Again an Indian problem. Should have put dogs in pounds instead of streets.
you don't know this... in 1998, the bjp government at the center had the insane ( much of the bjp is ) maneka gandhi as "environment minister"... she passed a order prohibiting the killing of street dogs and dangerous house dogs by city and town administrations... so in 2016, india has 35+ million dogs.
Infact India doesnt know how to handle dogs. are there any pounds or rescue shelters for dogs? The problem of stray dogs wasnt taken seriously and now it has become serious.
waah ji waah !! 70+ million indians don't have homes and those who have live oppressed lives in which a house is used by parents to constantly threaten children to toe the familial reactionary line, and you want houses for dogs??
Mate, in all your posts you are exposing :
Indian weaknesses
Indian incapacity to solve problems
Indian domestic problems
Indian general psyche
I know how messed up India is already
but you can keep going
like i said before, cats in india are almost extinct, mainly because of dogs... where is your empathy for cats??at some point the filth will attack the cat, how much ever you "train and socialize".
Jokingly, Cats can climb trees, dogs cant
Seriously, there are socializing parks for dogs in every developed country of the world. There are many parks in every city. Here the pups and young dogs are socialized with other dogs, other animals, children and adult humans.
so a four-year-old girl and a four-year-old boy in bangalore some years ago were evil creatures who wanted to harm the world and because of which about eight dogs attacked those children and dragged the girl away to another street to maul her to death??
you let the dogs loose on the streets when you shouldnt have, they should have gone in pounds and rescue shelters instead of streets. Now they are un-manageable and everywhere.
Its a human fault, not the dog's fault.
dogs must be eradicated... simple... and i, a socialist/communist and admirer of prophet muhammad ( a admirer of cats himself ), will do everything in my humble capacity to bring about that change in india and in time, the world.
Dont bring religion into this. Under some conditions, dogs are allowed in Islam but leave religion aside.
