[PyrNet-L] Beating a dead horse (Was: CHAT, Rescue: Vicious dog)

["Karen Reiter" <kreiter@servtech.com>]

<<It was very time consuming and if you did not read it, then you must have
not been that interested in where the various information came from then. >>

I DID read all of the posts Janice and I was interested.  I also feel that
you have no right insinuating whether or not I was "that interested in where
the various information came from".

<< I only know of one error that was attributed to me, but I was NOT the
original poster of it & that is that the woman is elderly and she is not.
(Not that it matters anyway.) >>

Well, if it didn't matter, then why did you keep referring to the woman as
elderly?  The label "elderly" adds sympathy to the post, thereby making
people feel sorry for the bite victim and not the dog.  Advertisers do this
kind of thing to sell product, to *get you to their side*.  I'm not saying
who was right or wrong here.   What I was interested in getting across to
people was the factual information.  People tend to take sides based on what
is presented to them.  If they don't have all of the data, they use what's
available to draw conclusions and pass judgement.

<< We need the whole story. >>

I agree.  What we DON'T need is the same incorrect information, repeated ad
nauseum...

<< I have been reading the information on four separate lists: PYR-L,
pyrnet-l. Flockguard, & LGD Horizons. >>

I beg to differ with this.  I'm on these four lists and the only lists that
this topic has been discussed on (of these 4) is Pyrnet-L and Flockguard.

<< And the fact that Joe, the dog owner obviously deemed that she was not
too drunk to  make decisions about her body and sexual relations and he also
decided that she did not need sobering up before hitting the sheets, says a
lot about this whole case. >>

What gives you the right to make the assumption that they were "hitting the
sheets"?  NOW who is making assumptions?

<< People are assuming now that the dog was not used to being around someone
who had been drinking. How do we know that?  >>

I do't think that anyone made that assumption.  What I stated was that dogs
key into abnormal behavior and when someone is drunk, their behavior is
(usually) abnormal and more erratic than usual.  There was a post earlier
today that Judith forwarded from someone who knows more about this incident.
Maybe you should read it to correct some of the misinformation.

And I'm sorry that you received insulting emails from people.  I hope that
the rest of your Holiday season is happy.  And if you'd like to respond to
me, please do so privately at kreiter@servtech.com.  Now can we please let
this go...

Karen
