Reading the local newspaper this morning I read two accounts of dogs attacking folk going about their day to day business. Nothing as bad of course as the recent pensioner killing in Clubmoor but still serious.

It got me thinking - why do we even allow dogs to be kept as pets that can kill a person in a minute under certain circumstances?

Maybe I'm wrong but it seems the majority of dangerous dog owners are teenage scallies using them as status symbols.

I'm only talking about banning more breeds of "dangerous dogs" such as those that look like Pit Bulls and basically any dog that can do serious damage in a short space of time - so not Labradors, Poodles and Spaniels!

Thoughts?

It's a tricky one, I'm a dog owner and love them to bits. Do you include Alsatians and dobermans in the list as 2 of my mates own both and they are as good as gold and very soft however I would never leave my child alone with them just like I never allow my child to be left alone with our golden lab. I truly truly believe its the owners not the dogs. It's a bit like bringing up children. If you bring your kids/dogs up in a volatile or aggressive way then that inevitably will be the way the act throughout their lives however bring them up in a loving caring environment then I think the dog will be fine. I do believe there should be a licence to have a dog which you have to pay for as this may stop the Scallies getting dogs as a accessory. Also this would give the police more power to challenge people when they see them with a dog to question on if they have the licence and if they don't they can take the dog.

agree with that, the responsible owners will go along with it, some of the tits i see with dogs they cant handle is a accident waiting to happen, and how can you keep a Hugh dog needing space and exercise in a environment were its owners idea of exercise is a walk down to the offey or the gym , then lash it into a small yard or back garden.
should be muzzled at all times outside there homes as well no matter what breed or size, but its the owners more than the dogs that need looking at as you can get some decent dogs from most breeds if the owners are responsible.

I honestly don't know enough about the different breeds to comment on that.

My starting point would be any dog that has the capability and potential probability of inflicting serious physical harm on a person then they have no place on our streets.

I get your point on the owner but the fact is these dogs are in many cases simply dangerous weapons and so should be governed in a similar way. If that means licencing them to death then that's one option but I can't help thinking it would just be easier to ban them. Dogs like that should have no place in a home. There are plenty of other breeds of dogs without a history of attacks that can take their place.

This ....back in the day you needed a dog licence....now any bell whiff can own a dog.... It would be a nightmare to re-introduce but I am sure there is a way...but I expect it boils down to funding , practicallities etc.

All dogs can attack , even the chiahaus can give a nasty nip.
The owners are to blame in the main. Dogs aren't born nasty IMO.
 

Should ban all dogs, ****ting everywhere, attacking and killing people.

That or you should have a license for a dog and have to pass a load of exams to get one and pay an annual fee and such. Put all the bad owners off having one.
