Kass steps in it- Bernstein breaks in!!

Re: I have known David Bernstein for many years...

I did hear the show and Kass wasn't "advocating" for the dog.
What Kass was doing was reacting to the predictable overreaction
hype we get from the media when these issues arise. We see the same
hysteria every time there's a shark attack somewhere.
Also, Kass wasn't putting the dog on a human level. What he was
saying is why put the dog down if you don't have to. Apparently
this dog has never shown any aggressive behavior before so is it
unreasonable to spare this dog a death sentence and find it a home
without children?
That'a a very reasonable topic, what do we do with animals when they
act out like animals? It's a very legit topic.
Kass had some very informative people call into the show who spoke
about babies/kids and dogs and how people should handle that dynamic.
The show was very appropriate.

Listen, This is the 'No Boundaries argument'. Its not unlike a host comming on air like Steve White did , years ago, and saying he`d been shot. He was fired for that action. Many thought it was 'ok' , I was one of them ,but just barely. If you are looking at what happened, ,the topic, the angry calls to the station, the P.D. -David B. breaking into Kasses show . I just believe there are some 'Outer Limits' that caused these series of events to happen.
I deeply respect BOTH of your comments, and thanks for understanding mine!!
Chatty.

Please learn to spell, even under emotional stress...
As tragic as the incident is, I fall in with Bernstein on this.

Kass got you talking about his show. What's wrong with a little buzz?

50 whole calls? Impressive in a small market I suppose. Not important to the program director though.
