چکیده
Several news stories appeared the month before the Animal Welfare Forum that illustrate a dilemma often expressed during the meeting. On Nov 1, 1996, the Sarasota Herald Tribune carried a graphic account of a 10-year-old boy killed by a neighbor's Rottweilers,1 and on November 27, a press conference in Pound Ridge, New York credited Abby the Rottweiler with foiling a baby's kidnapping by biting the perpetrator as he tried to flee.2 It is a troubling paradox that the canine qualities we value so highly in many contexts are so horrifying in others.
