But, as others have already pointed out over and over, every owner of a dangerous breed of dog says the same - that their dog is not like that, is so gentle, etc. This is dangerously flawed thinking since, as others have said, the dog is fine until it suddenly, unpredictably isn’t. Nobody needs to have these breeds, nobody will die by not having one, so why on earth do people take the risk? Since people are blind to this, the only solution is surely an outright ban, no exemptions. The fact that the owners in this horrific case already had an exemption certificate tells us, surely, that this is simply too far of a risk to take.
