But yes, something should perhaps be done about dog on dog aggression.

Re: Dangerous Dogs Act
As I said in post 23, dog on dog IS now a punishable offence - but only for attacks on Guide Dogs.As I also said, the Staffie type that tried to kill my dog was muzzled but the nasty half-wit of an owner let it off lead in a public park anyway.
Even if my girl hadn't been heavily pregnant, that dog could still so easily have broken her back the speed he hit her and bowled her over and over.
I agree the law must be changed.

Re: Dangerous Dogs Act
There has been a lot of criticism of the police seizing the family pet and paying a fortune to keep these dogs on death row, often in cruel conditions e.g kept in isolation and deprived of human touch etc. Stung by the criticism they appear to be more relaxed.They just can't win really.

Not read this thread fully but I think it would not be amiss to draw attention to another death - quite horrific as always ...Man dies after attack by seized dog in Huddersfield

Make of it as you will. I will say this though - dogs are not toys and their teeth are there for a reason.

Here's our local paper's report on the incident. Dog is reported to be a kind of `Staffy` breed.http://www.examiner.co.uk/news/west-...ttack-11757679

Re: Dangerous Dogs Act
Interesting the way they've reported it. They claim it to be a staffy-type dog which obviously grabs far more headlines than a "Staffy-Labrador cross" which is what they change to later in the article.If the dog had no history of attacking humans then the police were seemingly right to release this dog. A staffy-labrador cross is not a banned breed.
