Man 42 dead from another dog attack

My sympathy is limited. If you can’t afford a dog, I can’t think of an argument in favour of getting one. It really isn’t fair on the dog.

I love dogs but I have to be content admiring other people’s because I go to work every day and wouldn’t be able to offer one a suitable home.

This post appeared on a local social media page.

Dog attacks won't stop when there are people put there who pick up unfamiliar dogs and quite happily take them into their home with their own dog and their child.

My jaw dropped when I read this today.

Thank you, and I agree with you tbh. People wont like there being barriers to having a dog when previously there were none😐

This is bonkers!
Agree that the owner should face consequences for the dog’s actions.
If the dog bites - is assault, if it kills - is homicide.
And the dog destroyed on the first offence.

The death of the child of someone prominent or famous.

Until then, this will continue. The right kind of child hasn't been mauled to death yet.

Sorry to make this a class issue but I truly believe that it plays a very big part in why fuck all has been done aside from some tokenistic useless ban

Actually I agree. And always have. However the tsunami of dogshit that surrounds me suggests otherwise.

If you think it's bad on shoes, just imagine it on a wheelchair.

Keeping a pet is a hobby, not a human right.

So poor people can't have dogs ?

I can't see that going down well ....

The bottom line is that Austerity means no enforcement of all matter of legislation.

Thanks - those statistics are very worrying indeed.

I completely agree with this. So many people just can't be arsed to put in the time to train their dogs. Also, why would anyone actually choose to have an XL bully??

It takes a responsible person to realise that they are not up to the responsibility of owning a dog. Therein lies the problem. I think they should bring in expensive dog licences that require a time consuming training program to be completed. If people don’t have the money or the time for it, then they don’t have the money or the time for a dog.

Sorry! I love a cute dog photo and retrievers are the best! ...

..just sayin' ...

Oh really?...

@Turnippy, it seems that the police have the right idea, dogs that attack are speedily euthanised.

@oakleaffy that's just dreadful!

And this- an XL tried to attack a small pet dog, and had bitten a woman.

We’re urging the victim of a reported dog attack to come forward and assist us with our investigation.
On Saturday 7 December at 1.10pm, armed officers attended Dunella Road in Sheffield following reports an XL Bully had bitten a woman.
Upon officers’ arrival, the dog ran towards officers and it was deemed necessary to destroy the dog at the scene.
As our investigation into how the dog became loose and its actions continue, we are keen to speak to a woman who we believe was fearful for her own dog’s safety and subjected to fear from the dog.
It is reported that the woman was holding her small dog above her head for its own safety, before a passer-by stopped to help, putting the woman and her dog into his car and driving them to safety.
We are keen to speak to the woman. Was it you? Do you know who it was?
Please get in touch online, via live chat or by calling 101 quoting incident number 446 of 7 December 2024.
You can provide information anonymously via independent charity Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111 or www.crimestoppers-uk.org

Sadly these heavy types of 'Bull breed' are often owned by the terminally dim and stubborn - like the owners who have been killed by their own 'baby' - one woman was saying ''she doesn't give a fuck'' what others think, and posted videos of her dancing jerkily around holding the XL's Paws- it later killed her.

someone's dog was shot by the police recently around here (it had bit another dog and was out of control, they couldn't get it to open its jaws and off the other dog)

the entire of Nextdoor was full of people starting petitions to lobby the MP to have a go at the police for shooting their 'sweet family pet'. It was an XL bully type and the bloke whose dog it was posted loads of photos of the dog with his small children lying all over it, sticking their fingers in its mouth etc.

all I could think of was how lucky they were that the police shot it when they did before it killed one of his kids fgs! I genuinely don't understand what goes through the minds of these people - that dog was clearly dangerous and yet he was willing to risk it being around his toddlers.

How many attacks does it take for people to stop owning these dangerous breeds.

There was also a lady killed in Aberdeen this weekend by a dog.

An off lead dog getting into a playground ?

It’s like letting people keep lions in their houses. The whole thing is crazy.

What is it going to take before some action is taken!
