Mr. Sausages Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 "Dog ate my baby's head" Surely it goes without saying that the details of a dog killing a baby are going to be horrific. Anyone else repulsed by their decision to go with that headline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 I guess we weren't the only ones... http://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2014/feb/19/sun-wales And a statement from the Sun, but no apology... "We recognise that at the heart of this story is the tragic death of a very young child. Our coverage today (over three pages) seeks to convey the full extent of the attack, including by quoting the horrified reaction of Eliza-Mae's mother (which has been widely reported elsewhere). People will rightly be saddened by the death of Eliza-Mae, and we wanted to convey a sense of the shock and horror of what had happened. We had no intention of being disrespectful, and regret that people have been concerned by our headline." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jefferson Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'm more repulsed that people continue to put children's lives at risk by keeping dogs in the same house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thommo2010 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Nothing to do with the dogs per say it's the halfwits who leave infant children alone with the dogs. I believe the dad of this child bought the dog from a guy in the pub a week or so earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amadeus Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I once made the mistake of walking into the crew mess on the Lady of Mann while in dock in Liverpool with a copy of the Sun newspaper in my hand. Not a mistake I will ever make again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
