The false equivalence I’d have probably singled out was the notion that yer man being upset about what happened is the equivalent to a murderer being upset when he’s sentenced. That was really quite something.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) look forward to a new life under Ruben Amorim. What system will we be playing? What players will impress? and how will it all go? We also say goodbye to Ruud Van Nistelrooy and review United's 3-0 win at home against Leicester City.

I reserve the right to call sentient killing machines "monstrous animals". There are also some monstrous humans. I have some sympathy with the dogs, as they are acting on instinct and know no better.
If you have an XL Bully that doesn't eventually turn on you or someone else, I'd say you're very lucky.
They’re just nanny dogs mate Yum yum
There are breeds that have a stronger fighting instinct and when that is coupled with incredible jaw strength and an instinct not to let go it is a recipe for disaster.
There are lots of dog breeds available so not allowing a few isn't punishing anyone unless you want one precisely because it is (or looks) dangerous. In which case you are a weirdo and I don't care what you think.
I haven't watched that video but I'd say it is quite possible to have empathy for him even if he is an idiot who is lying to himself/us and the situation self-inflicted.
I definitely feel for the dog owner after watching the vid, he looks like a broken man.
Because that would be breaking e-code and empathy distribution points, which must be summarily applied to one side and one side only.
I am a man and I don't feel sorry for anyone.
Fair enough. I think he's a complete idiot, but I'm not sure that his "regret" was necessarily insincere.
He may well be an idiot but making out that someone doesn't sincerely have regrets, when their son is now likely traumatised, after witnessing his grandmother being savaged by his own pets is a bold claim.
Mistake to put out a ‘Sun’ interview/tape. Body language analysts will be all over it.

It's funny when they put a stock image of a pit bull in these articles as though it were the perpetrator. Imagine if we did that with people like
Man sexually assaults woman

Live by the gun.
A tragedy. RIP
I knocked out a pitbull in the countryside once, one punch to the face.

Hornchurch. Not far from where I live now. What happened to the so called ban the article says her dogs were legal cos they’d been neutered and muzzled - thought we were to do away with them FOR GOOD????

I hate thinking about things like this. Horrible thoughts about being out with my son and something like that happening
Oh right okay. Just so I understand - is the law that no one can have a bully after the ban was put in place but anyone who had it before just needs to muzzle and spay/neuter their dog?
They were all within the law so at least they only posed a danger to the owner, sad as it is. They take that risk with them though.
Woman, 23, killed in County Limerick dog attack

One TikTok video captioned 'my boy' shows the owner dancing in her kitchen with her dog and laughing. The overlaying audio hauntingly plays: 'This is my son, and I don't give a f*** if you think he looks aggressive.'
Posted in December, the footage with the audio continues: 'I don't give a f*** if you don't like the look of him, and I certainly don't give a f*** if you think the breed should be banned.'

Horrible but, you feck around and find out.
Apparently the attack was filmed on CCTV and her family found out when a bloke who had access to the footage sent them an 18 second clip of her being mauled to death. The whole thing is incredibly fecked up.
That was errr, nice of him?
How grim.
Police reported that he was intoxicated on drink/drugs and “no malice intended”. So that’s ok, then
So it was the dog's owner who was killed, the dog turned on her?
Seems like the case, yes.
Looks that way. She seemed to have four dogs out with her at the time though.
If that's 4 shots with live ammo then Jesus!
The dog was enormous. There's a vid of her dancing with it and it's nearly the height of her.
Play stupid games, win stupid prices.

The owners of these dogs just seem so incredibly thick...

If fairness, I'd say most of the people who own these dogs always say it's the owner, not the dogs.
That tells you all you need to know about their intelligence.
All these dogs are unbelievably lovely until the time their not, when it's too late.
Place will be a better place when they're gone.... The dogs I mean, not the owners, although, when I think about it...
Dogs bred for fighting other dogs doing what their genes tell them to do.. I bet the owner was screaming "he has never done this before!"
Why can't they just keep their bloodsport beasts on a fecking lead?
They're buying them for image. It's horrible.
I know it sounds horrible, but it should be a criminal offence to have one of these dogs of a certain size and strength walking without a lead in a public space
There's a clown that used to walk with his massive rottweiler without a lead next to my daughter's school when she was in reception as the kids were coming out. So irresponsible. I don't hear a lot of bad press with rotties, but they're powerful enough to cause serious damage if one were to suddenly flip.
With a lot of these cases, I don't think the dogs have been known to be overly aggressive in the past, but they can throw a tantrum (like any person) for whatever reason, and if that happens, they're just too powerful to keep in check. Not to the same extent, but it's very similar to these folk keeping large big cats. One lash out and it's all over.
If a medium or small sized dog throws a tantrum, the owner restrains them and they get a telling off. If these huge ones decide to do the same, it's usually fatal.
