The thing is there were and still are plenty of people who believe that about dogs and people. That was the complete point here. This lawyer was a very backwards person and not at all the person to try to defend John Coffey. He never planned on giving him a proper defense because in the lawyer's mind Coffey was just a dog that went over. Paul recognized this and knew it was futility to try to engage the legal system to try to help Coffey.

There was a Tiger Whisperer who got killed by a tiger a few weeks ago
WE CANNOT COMMUNICATE WITH ANIMALS
we can train them and love them but in the end we will NEVER be able to know exactly what they are thinking! -

I disagree. We CAN communicate with animals. It's a matter of understanding the animal you are dealing with. They all have their instincts and their own language. We as humans have to learn their specific behaviors before we try to handle them. There are ALWAYS signs when an animal is feeling distressed, annoyed, timid, upset, happy, whatever. I have worked with all types of animals (domesticated and wild) and I know this to be true.
Also, comparing TIGERS to DOGS is not fair. Dogs have been domesticated and bred to be with people. Dogs, when raised kindly/gently and properly trained/socialized, are wonderful pets. You can bring your dog in the house and let your guard down, play with them outside or feed them and not ever have to worry about them mauling or killing you. Tigers are, on the other hand, no matter how much you care for them are wild animals and the utmost caution and respect should be used when dealing with them.
But anyway.. this lawyer, is obviously, an ignorant dumb backward person. He blamed the dog for what happened. I will NEVER believe that it's the dogs fault when these things happen. There is a saying that goes like this it's not the dog it's the owner!
There's nothing that a little less attitude wouldn't cure! slap -

It doesn't change the fact that if it was my child that got savaged by an unprovoked dog (yes it happens all the time) regardless of whether it was the dogs fault or not, that dog would be off to the next life.

I can certainly understand what you are saying. I think everyone feels like that if someone or some animal were to hurt a member of our family.. We want to strike back at them and hurt them. Eye for an eye. But, there are always reasons why an animal/person would attack or hurt someone and there are always warning signs that it could/is going to happen. I do not believe in unprovoked attacks. If you look deep enough you'll find the reason.

Although a dog usually has some sort of provocation for attacking, it's not an absolute. When I was a kid, one of my friends had a dog that, on more than one occasion, tried to bite people who had done nothing to it. I can only figure that it was mentally imbalanced.
