Your point is well-taken and I somewhat agree.



However, that's a real picture of something that actually happened. Hiding it away would be akin to misusing it. It does not shock or offend people who stop to think about it in the proper context and indeed serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that come with owning such an animal.



Disinformation, misinformation and a lack of information have been the problems. Getting control of how the information is presented and used is one answer.



Thanks for your input..
