This would be more realistic if it were a Pig Farm. There’d be nothing left, not even bones.
This would be a controversial comic if it were released today, due to all of the controversy around the idea of vicious breeds.
Edit: Well, I tried to word my comment so that it would be about the comic and wouldn’t elicit this sort of discussion, but I guess I failed.
It’s not that they’re vicious. Chihuahua’s are vicious. It’s that they can kill a child with a single bite in a single second of inattention. They’re the sweetest dogs you can imagine and usually great with kids as well. It’s the potential that makes them so dangerous.
I always hear the same thing. He’s the sweetest dog ever. He would never hurt a fly.
And it’s always true until one day it just isn’t. My cousin’s large dogs would always growl and threaten my husband (who is admittedly nervous around dogs). Every fucking holiday it was the same thing after one of the dogs corners him. “He never does this.” Except every year, he does.
One of those dogs finally snapped one day. No humans were physically injured that day, but two people - including a young child had to witness it. We think she doesn’t remember, thankfully.
very sad outcome for another pet
One of their smaller dogs was attacked and killed by the Rottie. They had him put down as well after that.
I fully blame idiot cousin Jimmy and his idiot wife, but crap.
Is their bite strength 10x greater than other dogs? German Shepherds, Great Danes, etc are also big dogs used for guarding and police but you don’t hear about them snapping and killing a kid. There has to be more to it than just their potential for damage…
No not necessarily, but fighter dogs don’t let go. I’ve heard stories where they had to literally, full force kick a bulldog off of a cow or hit a bulldog with a shovel, repeatedly to make them let go of another dog to a point where the bulldog died form their injuries. Rottweilers are not a fighter breed though, so they don’t do that. They’re just equally intimidating looking, I guess.
Huh, never expected this reference to appear in a Farside comic. That’s really cool! 😎
