Back To ‘Business As Usual’…

South Wales Police say they will not take any action against the owner of a dog that attacked a woman in Treherbert.
The force said that the dog responsible for the attack, which occurred inside the premises, was an American Bull Dog which is not an illegal breed.
Though, if these people get their way, it will be. Along with everything else they decide is 'a dangerous breed'.

But since their little movement seems to consist of little more than one man and his, errr, dog, there's thankfully scant chance of anyone taking the slightest bit of notice of their ideas. Even today's venal and stupid politicians aren't quite that stupid or venal...
The woman owner of the dog, who is well known to the victim of the attack, agreed for the dog to be destroyed and this procedure has taken place.
And now, with no court action or punishment on the horizon, nothing whatsoever to stop her getting another one.

Slightly surprised you didn't put this bit in bold font: "who is well known to the victim of the attack"

It's almost as if it were reasonable for the woman concerned to have taken no precautions for her own safety around a powerfully built and potentially lethal animal. The dog, I mean, not her friend - though I haven't seen photos to be sure of excluding the friend.

Gosh, if "they've" managed to condition you into accepting that then what hope for the rest of us. ;)

Seem too much trouble, dogs. Cats spray. What pet can one have?

The thing we are never told is just what the 'victim' did to annoy the dog in the first place.

If a dog is well trained you have to do a lot of 'pushing' to get one to attack unless what you are doing is what it has been trained to stop - then you are on your own. The key word here is trained. In my opinion people that will not train their dog shouldn't have a dog in the first place.

Reducing the chav population, one fatal mauling at a time.

If they confine it to their own kind, then, like gang warfare, I'm not too fussed.

But it does tend to leak out into normal people's space...

"Fluffy bunnies are nice"

Nice'? They're delicious! ;)

"If a dog is well trained..."

There is, I suspect, the rub.
