Article Makes the Case That Puppies Are More Dangerous Than Fracking

More dangerous than fracking?

From Drillinginfo:

I decided to create a fear-based campaign on something OTHER than frac’ing, just to see how easy it would be, using actual data and academic studies, as flawed as they may be. Then I decided to frame frac’ing as a pitch to both a Silicon Valley VC and the Governor of California circa 2005. In a pitch, you focus on the benefits, and minimize the risks, although you have to acknowledge and counter the challenges.

So let’s start with fear. Who here likes puppies? Most of you? Good.

When Adorable Attacks

America is killing its young people. The killer? Vicious young dogs. Predators that prey preferentially on our kids. Dog bites occur every 75 seconds and over 1,000 citizens require emergency care EVERY DAY as a result of this deadly scourge. In 2012 alone, over 37 people, half of them children, were KILLED in vicious young dog attacks, ranking puppies higher than baby snatchers in childhood mortality.

Worse, over 50% were kids under 8 years old. More disturbingly, over 32% of these vicious attacks were on people LIVING with the dogs in question! Our “best friends” are killing us! Worse, these vicious killers tend to attack in packs. 34% of all fatalities last year were caused by gangs of marauding young dogs, and 58% of these killers were “family” dogs. Equally disturbing, your home is no protection. Over 80% of those killed were killed on their own property!
