Of course even if all dog owners were responsible there would still be occasional attacks even a normally good, well treated dog can suddenly turn.
As for the act, unlike the dogs, it has no teeth, it can't even nip at the problem.

I know,I was having the crack
Maybe the powers that be should penalise those irresponsible owners rather than everyone though (it's a bit like having a motor). They hit responsible owners but those that disregard the law carry on taking the pish while we're left to foot the bill.
The way this country's going it's only a matter of time before humans are chipped (except immigrants and those how disregard the law)
.
I can see some benefits from chipping ,for example I paid £450 for my dog an a extra £20+ would be a good investment if I had it stolen,they removed the collar then it was later found,but to put it at risk of cancer on the off chance....Not in this lifetime.
