A woman who was attacked by her {redacted} has been left with life-changing injuries.Chihuahua? Cocker spaniel? Labrador?
Don't be silly!
Nottinghamshire Police said the dog turned on a child at a home in Hoylake Crescent, Bilborough, on Saturday evening. Two women at the property intervened and were repeatedly bitten on the face, arms and stomach by the animal.
The dog was eventually stabbed by another occupant, and secured in the garden before they called 999.
One hopes it was a garden with a high fence...
An emergency vet was called but was left with no option but to put down the animal.
Armed police should have saved him the trouuble and finished the damned thing off then and there!
Det Insp Jon Kerry said: "It's devastating that a woman has suffered such serious injuries caused by her own pet, but we can only be grateful that it didn't result in far worse consequences had the animal been able to attack the child.
"Although we don't believe that the animal was a banned breed, this is a stark reminder to all pet owners not to take any chances with animals around children, particularly if they have ever displayed violent tendencies."
Perhaps we should reintroduce dog licencing, and you could trawl through their social media before deciding if they were suitable owners for such a dangerous weapon..?
Meanwhile, in Wales:
Police have yet to comment on claims the dog was due to be destroyed following two recent attacks.Strange, they are usually so chatty...
I thought we had a dangerous dogs act that 'would prevent such incidents'. I wonder what "lessons have been learned" here, and by whom?

ReplyDeleteLegislation alone doesn't prevent anything. Not if there's no will to act on it.
