What a stupid argument of bringing war into this. If there is war, it doesn't mean we shouldn't work to reduce other preventable injuries and deaths. I am fine with keeping dogs where it serves some purpose like in fields and farms but not in houses.

Donosa, my children have never come across a dog, but many cats and they know not to bother animals. As i said YOUR dog most likely will bite YOUR kids than anyone elses, nearly 2/3rd of injuries to kids are by the family dog or those of family friends. And that day you can go lick your dog for doing that. I am amazed at pigheadedness of some people for insisting on a habit that damages thousands and thousands of children's lives.
