Another Day, Another Dog Fatality...

 ...and another aspect to watch social media for:

A 19-year-old woman who died in a dog attack has been named locally as Jamie-Lea Biscoe. The fatal attack happened in the village of Leaden Roding in Dunmow at about 10.45pm yesterday. The emergency services were alerted to the scene, where they found the young woman seriously injured.

Family members have paid tribute to Jamie, saying the dog was a ‘seven-y ear-old lurcher’. One woman wrote: ‘She slept on my granddaughter’s bed. It’s devastating.’

These stories are usually  jumped on by pit nutters eager to sing the praises of their bloodpot mutts, and this one's no different of course: 

Of course, 'lurcher' isn't a breed, it's a crossbreed, and travellers in particular often cross sighthound breeds like greyhounds and salukis with bull breeds for poaching, so what went into the animal and where he obtained it from are going to be lines of enquiry. And  indeed, photos of dogs on  the victims social media show two distinct types, one the typical scruffy, lightly built lurcher and another blocky-headed bull breed crossbred animal. If these are the culprits, the death is somwhat more likely. We are now told that the mutt savaged the father too when he attmpted to save the girl.

But ever since the drive to make the countryside more enticing to Muslims, every dog attack attracts these tinfoil hatted loons: 

It's exhausting enough arguing with the pit nutters, I'm not even going to try with these....
