[quote=isla49]Strange attitude from someone who's supposed to be a veterinarian. Sure the bottom line is everything in the body and mind is chemistry. Sure you can dope up a dog enough to change it into a walking zombie. But this is not the issue here. Have you ever seen the damage an aggressive dog can inflict on a person? Had it been your child I wonder how tolerant you'd be.[/quote] :?: I don't know what this statement is supposed to mean...Do you think I'm not sorry for Nick? ...I don't believe I was excusing or criticizing anything that was done. In fact, I think Nick did all he could and then some. Where did I say I was tolerant? In fact, where did I criticize Nick's decision to euthanize his dog (which I agree with)? I was just remarking on aggression for the sake of such versus symptomatic aggression as a result of a greater problem in a effort to clear up what was said. Lately, people have been "summarizing" their thoughts and this makes it difficult to decypher exactly what was meant/happened. Next time when anyone reads my posts, please leave emotion out of it. If I "feel" a certain way, I will tell you or use these smiley things...I didn't have any "attitude" regarding this conversation, do you?
