Dog attacks have risen by a fifth in one year, with police recording more than 80 incidents a day. Police forces recorded 30,539 offences of a dog injuring a person or a guide dog last year, an investigation by the BBC found, increasing from 25,291 in 2022.
Thus ignoring all the dog on dog attacks that they can swerve if the victim fails to utter the right magic words.
Dr Ed Hayes, head of public affairs at The Kennel Club, the organiser of Crufts, said that the legislation is 'doomed to fail' because of gaps in the law. Dr Hayes said that breeders will pair two dogs together that are half an inch under the legal limit, therefore making it legal.
Legal limits can be changed.
The Crufts official also said that the Dangerous Dog Act is another strain on police resources, adding that after being assessed in court, the canines are 'typically' handed back to their owners.
Unless the mutts attack the cops and are gunned down, of course.
In January it was reported that police have spent at least £2.2 million housing XL bullies.
And we know who will eventually be stuck with that bill, don't we, Reader?
