Dogs Hunting And Eating Other Dogs?

There are a quite a few fools on social media promoting the idea that there are problem dogs that hunt, kill and eat other dogs.

I have done intensive dog rescue for about 25 years. I have never heard of any situation where animal control officers were called in to round up “predatory dogs” that were hunting, killing and eating dogs. I have also never heard of a problem in animal shelters, where dogs are in the most stressful conditions, coming from the most stressful environments, that dogs can’t be housed together because they have a tendency to kill and eat the other dogs in their enclosures. 

Now, I call the above “fools” because some people are fools. Like maggots on a wound, they find some news story about pit bulls (usually) and then go to work. With absolutely no evidence, but with sharp tongues and the tenacity of a bad case of a social disease, they keep at it no matter the treatments of truth that are applied.

What can I say? Maybe all that paste eating in grade school caused these long term side effects.
