My thoughts are based purely on the scum I see in charge of these dogs, and the two recent killing by children by these dogs.

Getting aggressive now aren't you.

Going to set your dog on me?

I saw those Merseyside dogs being rounded up and not one of them behaved aggressively. Strangers picked them up and dumped them in vans with others and yet there was no barking let alone fighting. Had they been drugged prior to picking up? Or were they simply well behaved dogs that just happen to look similar to a killer dog?

Tinks had a Staffie which looks similar. She now has a Rottie pup. The former never attacked anyone as far as I know and I presume that with similar training her new baby won't either. It's the 'scumbags' who have status symbol dogs to 'prove' how tough they are that need to be tackled.

Rubbish.

Learn to read.

It's the ass wipes who think these dogs are a status symbol I have a problem with.

I'm not getting into a slanging match with you.

I've already said my piece, which basically is that children's lives are more important than the right for unregulated ownership of these dogs.

Classing ALL pitbull owners with one brush there?

I am not getting into a slanging match, just debating, discussing.

I have looked at your posts and I admit you do not individulise the breed as much as I though you had.

I do agree with the fact the IDIOTS should'nt be allowed to own these dogs, but that should apply to ANY DOG. not BREED BASHING.

Well then we agree then don't we.

It's the law regarding these dogs which needs upholding, and in some cases clarifying and changing, not the demonising of any particular dog.

Under the DDA 1991, owners convicted of having either an ‘illegal dog’ or a dog which has injured a person for any reason, no matter how minor the injury, could have received a criminal record, up to £5000 fine and up to six months in prison. The dog would have been destroyed.

So why the heck do people get away with keeping a dog which has inflicted a minor injury? Then the dog goes on to inflict major injuries or kill. My Dad always used to say that once a dog had tasted blood it was no longer a pet and should be put down.

We strangly do agree.

I understand the public outrage that a low life of society owned a dog that has caused major upset and loss to one poor family.

But I cannot allow ANY single breed of dog to be stigmatised becasue of this.

Its the Owners who should be accountable.

This was not a 'Dangerous Dog' breed it was a cross from what I would say a Spaniel (SP) Sort.

The dog was left in a pub door way whilst its owner was having a drink of BEER, as I have run past the door way it has run out and bit my leg.

That Sounds awful Mr ***D***.Hope they gave the poor dog a Tetanus Shot. Church Boy

The latest news on the dogs impounded in St Helens and Widnes says that one had cropped ears - "a sure sign that it's been used for fighting"! I don't know a lot about dog-fighting in this country but I do know that, in America, ear-cropping (which I, personally, deplore) is quite fashionable, especially in pitbulls. For some reason the Americans treat it like we treat tail-docking (which I also deplore) and it's not a practice confined to aggressive dogs - have a close look at Scooby-Doo, he's a Great Dane with cropped ears.

The death of this poor child is terrible but, as usual, the reaction is way over the top and isn't addressing the real problem. I've had dogs all my life but I still think dog-ownership is far too easy and far too lax. It's owners who need to be controlled and it doesn't matter what the breed of dog is. You could make a Poodle into a vicious killer if you're that way inclined.

In Scoobies case,He decided early on in his acting career that he needed cosmetic Enhancment.Church Boy
