    Re: Parents of Child killed by Burm to be charged with manslaughter/third-degree murd

    Sadly, Kite, most of the time when things like this happen, people go into hysteria mode. You end up with a mob of people with pitchforks ready to get rid of all the animals because they will attack us! All of a sudden it doesn't matter how many "good" ones there are out there, they are all "bad" because they belong to a certain species or breed. Any animal has the ability to harm and become dangerous, no matter how "gentle" or "tame" it was in the past. People seem to forget that and become lax with the animal, not respecting their power and ability. The key is education. Many people get animals because they're "cool" or whatnot, and don't really know what they're getting themselves into. Hopefully out of this tragedy, some good will emerge. Both for children, adults, and the pets.
