I think there is a very simple way to reduce these attacks. No doubt I will be accused of being discriminatory, but i don't believe ive ever seen it suggested.
Ban all types of XL bully, pit bull ,Akitas,
along with crossed with them from social housing .
Virtually all the attacks show the scene before the breed, its nearly always a council estate, and you just know that its going to be a bully type dog.
People living on council estates who are sensible, should not have to fear for their children playing outside, or whilst walking to school
I read some comments on FB on local news reports and they are unbelievable, the utter stupidity of so many defending the dogs, one lady actually said “ I feel sorry for the dog “
With so many utterly stupid negligent people owning dogs like this things will never improve,
I have a friend who works with a dog charity, they have dog bite owners sent to them by the courts, and she said the one thing they all have in common is that they did not believe their dog would bite .
They were all so shocked.
So many people now simply do not understand /refuse to learn about dog behaviour.
It’s quite scary and spoils it for all the many wonderful dog owners.
I would support a list of allowed dogs, a ban on everyday breeders , with a huge fine for anyone caught breeding, a hefty licence fee to pay for it all, a test required like a driving theory test to prove you know about dog language before a licence is permitted , compulsory insurance , and if your dog attacks someone there is a huge penalty,
Obviously that wont happen, but i don't understand why this government is so accepting of people being mauled to death
<waits for inevitable outraged comments …>
