Ofcourse the "my dog wouldn't hurt a fly, blame the owners, not the breed" brigade will pile on but the bottom line is, this type of dog has been proven to kill and seriously harm people time and time again. Don't you find it odd being a conspiracy theorist yourself, how many attacks by the same breed in just 2 weeks? Yet we barely heard of any previously, is it autumn affecting them? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will never get me to agree on this draconian measure so let's agree to disagree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki-red Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 The irresponsible owners won’t fall in line because there’ll be no one to enforce it. Who do you suggest @Baron99? The Police, Dog Warden, RSPCA? All massively overstretched already. How many threads do we see already saying the above are rubbish? In an ideal world the Police would have enough time to be strolling round Concord Park looking for unmuzzled dogs, but it’s not real life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh they happen, all the time, every day virtually, but it seems to be amplified in the media for some reason, with one dog. You seem to have a thing for one subject and call it fearmomgering but I'm this case it's not? Because you have a vested interest in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
