Fake News?
Posted by Bill I was certain that these pics were photoshopped fakes. Apparently, since the UK Telegraph picked it up, I was wrong. But why is my spider sense still tingling? Because the only name - or specificity, for that matter - attached to the piece is the author's byline. No "witness," "soldier" or other individual involved in the incident is named, and the geography is only as specific as "the edge of the bayou beyond New Orleans." This is either a load of bull (pardon the pun), or unforgiveably sloppy reporting by the Telegraph. Which, come to think of it, was par for the course for Katrina-related press coverage. What do you think? (Via Dean) Posted by Bill at January 30, 2006 07:24 AM | TrackBack (5) Trackback PingsTrackBack URL for this entry: CommentsI saw those in the last issue of Maxim...or maybe the issue before. The caption had the attack taking place near New Orleans after Katrina. According to them, the dogs were starving an attacking the bull for food. Eventually, I guess, they won. Posted by: Rob at January 30, 2006 10:39 AM Again, Maxim doesn't inspire confidence. Posted by: Bill from INDC at January 30, 2006 10:55 AM And the British press seems to have a reputation for factual accuracy even lower than the American MSM. (I.e., the U.S. MSM is likely to report the facts more or less accurately, but create propaganda by selective omission and spin; the Brits are more likely to just make stuff up and/or "not let facts get in the way of a good story." Posted by: David C at January 30, 2006 11:04 AM hmm. seems questionable to me. The Register recently reported a "flying car" found in Google Earth. http://www.museumofhoaxes.com/hoax/weblog/permalink/flying_car_on_google_earth/ Posted by: milowent at January 30, 2006 02:55 PM Ah, Bill, stick to moonbat taxonomy and other urban biology. Take it from a Texan who raises cattle, and has many neighbors with both cattle and dogs, the pictures aren't in the least incredible. It takes more dogs than that to bring down a brindle bull, but it isn't all that unusual to find dogs that will try. Those two had probably already succeeded with calves or even yearlings, and just bit off more than they can chew. As for the area where the pictures were taken, south Louisiana looks about right. Texas roads almost always have more space between the white stripe and the edge of the pavement, and the countryside in the background looks more bayou than anything else. It could be far southeast Texas, but if the photographer says Louisiana I'm inclined to believe him. I'd like to know what the structure in the background of the third picture is, though.

Take it from a Texan who raises cattle, and has many neighbors with both cattle and dogs, the pictures aren't in the least incredible. Well, think I might know a thing or two about spotting fake news stories, cowboy. I don't think that the concept of dogs attacking a bull is unbelievable, persay, I just think that something looks off about the photos and their presentation as unsourced fact. Who took them? Why does the story describe the bull as being "smeared with blood," yet any barely detectable blood "wounds" on the bull look like photoshopped smudges? The article is written like a rumor. The "photographer" is never actually identified; notice the author never says that he took the pics, and there is no photo credit. So while you may know that dogs will attack a bull, and perhaps the photos are even real - I bet doughnuts to dollars that the story as reported is not, taken from a different context, or the Telegraph at least printed an unverified rumor while claiming to have direct involvement in the situation, which is remarkable for a mainstream report in a newspaper. Again, there are no names attached to any of it. But don't listen to me, as I'm just a city slicker, and dogs and bulls and grass all in one frame scare and confuse me. Hold me? Posted by: Bill from INDC at January 31, 2006 06:34 AM Well, I don't know, but there seem to be missing pictures in the sequence, the bull seems rather nonchalant, and why aren't the dogs ganging up and attacking together? It all makes me a bit skeptical too.

Any, The pix are awsome because they show the dogs doing exactly what they where breed to do over 200 years ago. Those dogs belong to someone (collars,) and should not have been shot dead.
