I think it is a bit harsh and rash to point the finger at a minority. Yes some of these are to blame but some so called scum who own these types of dogs. Actually love their dogs and treat them with the greatest respect! Perhaps it would be wise to look at the facts before making accusations.

I don't think anyone who has referred to "scum" means any particular socio-economic group. Scum means the type that has no regard for people, animals or the law, regardless of where they live or what their income group.
