Yeah, all the times a baby gets mauled to death by a dog, it's definitely the baby's fault. The fact that they are explainable doesn't mean they're acceptable.
- franga2000 5y agoI'd love to hear about just 1 case of a well-trained service dog mauling a baby to death uprovoked. The fact that an accident is technically possible if everybody in the pipeline fails at their job isn't much of an argument against anything. Just like you wouldn't leave a baby unattended with a blood testing machine, you wouldn't let it interact with the dog. In fact, if a baby poked its finger where it didn't belong, I bet a dog would show a lot more restraint than a 18k RPM lab centrifuge.
- rgavuliak 5y agoThe share of dog owners is on the increase. Originally people who got dogs meant to handle them. These days people are trying to fill some kind of hole and the number of dogs per person has increased dramatically. It also means that in total you have more and more dog owners that can't handle their dogs. From a risk management perspective it's much easier to prevent a baby even getting near to a centrifuge than it is to control actions of other people and their dogs. If a dog runs up to your baby, you have seconds to react at times.
