This is why we need dogs licensing in this country

[s_zigmond]

Im not arguing against that. Im saying licencing wont help (the OPs original topic) and that all dogs should be treated as dangerous.

Damn straight... they are descended from wolves after all

Curiously though the RSPB does not campaign for Cat licences.
I love my wee cat but I know he's a cold viscious killer but thankfully not of small children.
Owners of animals need to be aware of the damage there pets can do and a means of responsibility for there actions needs to be used.
Maybee owners should be licenced to have pets as oppossed to pets licenced to be owned. You would have to prove your pet owning suitability, not your ability to stand in a post office queue and hand some cash over

At what stage did humans develop the God complex and claim the right of what animals are fit to live and die? I'm going to do some wild guessing here, but per head of capita, people do far more damage/death to each other than dogs could ever hope for.

What was the child doing? Why are the parents not being charged for unfit parenting, failing to provide a safe environment for their child?

On the flip side, I vote for putting down every human than abuses and injures any animal - seems fair as thats what happened to the dog

Sorry double post

Maybee owners should be licenced to have pets ............

People should def be licenced before having kids

The minute they domesticated them and took responsibility.

Whether you are pro pet or not the fate of our charges rests in our hands..

We choose whether to treat an animal (or our children) well or not.

A responsible dog owner would not risk a persons safety by keeping an aggressive animal.

......... ability to stand in a post office queue and hand some cash over

Surely its mainly the other way round

Like dogs - would willingly pay for licence but don't see what good that would do.

Don't like folks who let their pets (especially cats :evil: ) and kids roam free doing WTF they want :evil:

If someone owns a pitball and the dog bites..

The owner should be sentanced to GBH etc and go to prison.

Why should it be only the dog that suffers, and the owner of said dog get's away with a fine?...

BTW on the news tonight a granny got quite a nasty dog bite on the leg, didn't get any compensation, the dog owner got of scot free!!.

Shocking

BTW there's an ace video on the news of Lions attacking there handlers, in one of these circus freak shows, shame they didn't eat the handlers I say.

I learned that lions don't like water..watch the vid!

The owner of a pitbull is a criminal and should be prosecuted anyway.

Any legal pits in this country died a long time ago.

And . . . . . people being bitten by bull breeds is nothing to do with being trained to fight.

Any 'decent' dog fighter would have a man aggressive dog destroyed...

and another reason not an attack on a child by a dog but an attack on a dog from a muppet who needs the crap kicking out of him
