Morons and Dogs

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-37653137

Only a moron would own a dog like this.

I love dogs, but a lot of dog owners are complete twats. I don't know why we ever did away with the dog license.

Whoever owns that dog should be facing a firing squad, dogs aren't born that way, they are taught to behave like that by fucking stupid people.

It may help with bringing the dog license back.

Absolutely agree that it is the dog owner's fault.

A £100 dog licence and the enforcement of compulsory micro chipping of dogs would help a lot.

i thought the breeding of these types of dog was now illegal? If you have kids then surely you must know this kind of incident is likely to happen?

I certainly wouldn't ever dream of having a dog like that with kids around, but as the title says, some people are morons.

And a 12 monthly "MOT" where they have to attend a visit to a vet's where the vet can look for behavioural problems and aggressive tendencies whether genetic or trained.

As i said before, why not just ban the breeding of these types of dog? what purpose do they serve? Just a ticking time bomb waiting to go off, these kinds of dogs are naturally aggressive and some owners exacerbate it.

It's a double edged sword, the dogs are dangerous anyway and the only people who would consider owning these are complete irresponsible fuckwits.

how do these people get handled by the courts? In my eyes anyone who has one of these dogs that attacks and kills someone is directly responsible and should be charged as such

I'd actually go a step further and ban ALL dog breeding.

Just go to the classifieds on any night of the week and there'll be some twat selling puppies for £300-£800. Many are born into terrible conditions.

Yet the RSPCA and other shelters are full to bursting with dogs desperate for a new home.

It is so awful that someone else has been killed by those types of Dogs. It is so distressing that a baby has been killed, it is beyond words. Those types of Dogs are bred to fight. When you get irresponsible owners for them it isnt good. Society seems to be full of people trying to act hard. When will this issue be discussed, they wont do anything to address the issue, no doubt.

And this is enforced how?

and it won't stop the so called hard men wannabe gangster types who only have the dog as part of their image either

There is a bit more to it than that, it isn't just part of their image.

They have the dog as a weapon so if it bites someone then the dog gets the chop whereas if they have a knife or gun then they will be doing a bit of bird.

all the more reason to ban these breeds completely then i reckon KP

Good point KP. I hadn't actually thought of that aspect

just seen on the BBC website this case is unlikely to be classed as a criminal case, which i think is utterly ridiculous. It also turns out the owner of the dog is a serving Police officer

As i've said before, if you own one of these types of dogs knowing what they are like and you put people in harms way then you should be held personally responsible

I've no doubt that the 2 things in bold are completely unrelated, if it had been some scumbag with a record they'd have been all over it.

i did think the same WGO but left it to others to draw their own conclusions
