You could argue that a 30mph and even car insurance is difficult to police

You could.

Do we bin those laws too as its too hard?

We have a special branch of police for that job though.

 

You want to take police off the streets and allow them to concentrate purely on if a dog is muzzled or not?

My advice is, if you are concerned about the safety of yourself or your dog, take pepper spray with you on your walk. Self-defence seems to be a more sensible solution than a blanket law that can't be policed.

 

No better solution - i know several people who walk dogs with a walking stick.Sometimes it is to prevent their dogs (who are on leads).

 

Just remind me how forcing responsible owners to muzzle dogs in public will prevent attacks by strays or even the ever increasing number of "escaped" dogs.

Ban dogs altogether

True. Any person has a right to walk anywhere without feeling intimidated and all dogs can be intimidating so all dogs,apart from guide dogs, should be banned from public places,and if that means a ban on all dogs being kept as so called pets,then so be it. Muzzling wouldn't work because no one could police it.

So you would ban Pets as Therapy dogs too?

On that note I find humans more intimidating than dogs so all humans should all be banned from going out, let the dogs go for a walk on their own.
