A woman had chunks bitten out of her face in a horrific attack by her partner’s XL bully dog.
Owner Kevin Griffiths ignored advice from police to have his dog called Reggie put down after it previously bit his partner.
Why were they giving 'advice' instead of seizing it and charging him under the beefed-up DDA the police demanded for just this sort of occasion?
Instead Griffiths kept the large animal shut in the bathroom of his flat, Swansea Crown Court was told. After the attack which left his partner so injured she needed plastic surgery and skin grafts to her cheek Griffiths was charged with being the owner of a dog dangerously out of control, WalesOnline reported.
Wales, again? What is it with this place and killer mutts?
Four people have been injured in a serious dog attack. Two of the casualties have been airlifted to hospital following the incident in Gwynedd.
Police attended an address in Rhoshirwaun, Pwllheli, shortly before 11.30am on Friday in response to reports of a dangerous dog incident. Two people were taken to hospital by air ambulance and two others sustained minor injuries.
A North Wales police spokesman said on Saturday: "Following the incident a total of 37 dogs and a number of cats have been seized from the address. The dog involved in the incident was destroyed and is yet to be examined by a vet to establish the breed."
Not going to be a cocker spaniel, is it?
I can't imagine that the partner of an xl-Bully owner was a great beauty in the first place.
ReplyDeleteWhy isn't the dog owner liable for all the costs of medical treatment? That seems to me to be the least he could be charged with - why does the taxpayer need to pay? Even better, let the owner be mutilated in the same way - at his/her own expense, of course.
Will the woman's ugly face put the owner off sex, I wonder? Being it's Wales, perhaps not if she wears a sheepskin, and it's 'that way round'.
"I can't imagine that the partner of an xl-Bully owner was a great beauty in the first place."
ReplyDeleteWell, indeed!
"Why isn't the dog owner liable for all the costs of medical treatment?"
Because our glorious NHS is 'free', of course!
This case looks very much like a puppy farm issue, so hopefully the courts will impose a swinging fine and HMRC take an interest in the tax that's always dodged by these enterprises...
