NPR's Ira Glass got a pit and it constantly bit CHILDREN, him & wife & more ppl. So they gave it prozac and exotic meats to "cure" it and it STILL had to be muzzled 24/7. They stopped having guests over. He says the dog is the victim.
Encapsulates an unfortunate liberal mindset
This has been a mindset that's been made fun of and commented on since at least the 1800s (The Bostonians, Henry James), its definitely not new. It is an addiction to feeling like you are saving something and protecting it from others.
petful deleted the article at some point but here it is
And here's the episode
truly hard to believe its for real if it wasn't his own words web.archive.org/web/2016080513…

imagine you get a dog and "suddenly" it decides to bite 2 children at a wedding and your wife and others and you don't take it to Doctor Remington because it's the victim so you order $$ of rabbit and kangaroo and valium to the office, because you bring it into the office
also the dog is "fundamentally good" and "tries to kill you on the daily."
aren't you a saint for taking him in?
this is actually more insane than I even remembered
the feeling sorry for yourself, the feeding yourself to the dog, maybe its the whole point for him
I don't remember it being this bleak I can't believe someone would admit to all this. It's not funny. It's deeply unhinged.
Yeah. He ends the interview "alarmed" (his word) that Nancy doesn't see his point of view. He cannot sympathize with other humans and how the violent beast affects them. He can only sympathize with the dog.
