No, I'm quite certain that my very lovable little sister was being very friendly to it, and I am deeply insulted that you would insinuate that a vicious attack by this animal, which disfigured my sister's face, was somehow her fault! This is the same sort of "logic", by the way, which was until recently also used in rape cases!!! I feel no obligation to display affection towards anyone, be they 2 or 4 legged, who threatens me with injury if I don't!
