Dangerous Dogs

In my book anyone whose dog kills someone should be tried for murder for not having it under control in the first place, that might focus the mind a bit before they step out of the house.

Beyond that they are clearly breeding dogs to be able to cause maximum damage and in which case you should have a licence and a reason to own one. Being a 7 stone chav and wanting to walk your 3 bully XL's in your basketball top to make you look 'ard is not a valid reason.

Spot on.

Dog ownership is far too easy to come by. Proper licensing, not just a form filling formality. Training course, inspection of the dwelling (and security garden boundary if.it has) paid for by the applicant, enforced neutering unless you're a licensed breeder (which in itself should be incredibly difficult to attain).

If after all that, you are given a dog ownership license and you still fail to control your animal, you're responsible and and tried for it as if you carried out the attack.

"We'll destroy the dog" doesn't stop the scruffy little knobhead going right out and getting another one tomorrow.
 
I don't understand why people feel the need to have dogs like this in the first place.

It's not the kind you can take to the park and throw a ball around with. If you have a dog you have to keep locked up because otherwise it'll kill someone, then that's probably not a dog to have.

All these "attack" breeds, are the owners compensating for something?

Murder would be hard. But definitely man slaughter!!

Someone needs to get a Gov petition going!
 

So this is the latest breed the media are gunning for, so much ignorance as well. I remember Rottweilers got the tag in the 80s and you won't come across a more intelligent loyal friendly breed. It's been Staffies recently so seems the XL is now in the crosshairs.

Some breeds just naturally have a more aggressive demeanour but trained early enough they are fine. I am a dog owner but think dogs should be kept on leads at all times.

Tbf, 75% of deaths caused by dogs in this country, was caused by this breed.

I dog sit for a couple I clean for 4 or 5 times a year while they go on holiday. Earlier this year I was taking the dog, a Beagle Mix, over the fields when one of these dogs over the far corner of the field started running towards us. It jumped on my little dog and I was screaming like a mad woman, luckily the dog owner was a young fit teenager who caught up with it and wrestled it away from my dog and no damage was done. He was very apologetic as he was concerned as much for me as I was in a bit of a state but the thought of what he could have done freaked me out.

All dogs should be muzzled and on a lead at all times in any public place

I'm sure there must be some but I've never once met an owner of any dog who had the dog under control 100% of the time and all it takes is once with a dog this size and aggressive.
