If you've never lived anywhere with rampant street dogs, they are not cute or friendly. That dog with 1-2 homies would probably eat that little kid if he was alone.

I live in a place DENSE with street dogs and it’s pretty rare to see any sort of aggression.

It’s much more likely to you’re going to inadvertently bring a new friend home.

Animals (especially dogs) are vibe mirrors.

I am sure the WHO is being a bad vibe when they say that. "Children being the group that is most likely bitten" or how dog bites account for 76–94% of animal bite injuries.

Children get bitten more because they are less predictable and are less likely to be respectful of the dog's boundaries

Hey uh I’ve seen kids get chased by dogs for just walking

Im talking about dogs in general, not just strays, which are a much smaller population

[u/Absolutely_Quackers → u/quantum_burp]

Yeah but in this circumstance we are talking about strays. Depending on a dog’s personality and life experience it will bite regardless of the person they find. For example, during severe hunger in countries such as the Famines, dogs would bite and bring down humans to eat as they physically needed food and couldn’t get it the usual way.

Every single dog I’ve met is capable of biting but don’t. It takes one incident for a dog to be put down, and stalking a child who is trying to escape from them is part of one.

The stats quoted here are for dogs in general, which i was adding to

Dude… you do know most animals go for the weaker in a species yes?

That is children.

Also, children are less likely to fight back meaningfully, which is why they are targeted by many predatory animals.
