Dogs

[carlos21]

Respectfully, I rescued an XL bully, and I’ve never had a more docile and relaxed dog.

Yo wainy.

Not really mate just waiting for the Liverpool thread.

Fair enough. I'm not looking forward to the game. Would take 0-0 now.

Why mate.

Why mate.

I never enjoy derbies. A point away at a ground we're normally poor would do for me.

So no guide dogs?
Or deaf dogs, or bomb, cancer and substance detection dogs.

The problem with this question is the 'etc'.

Most breeds are perfectly fine but there are both existing and emerging breeds (American XL bullies etc) which are not stable or suitable for non-licensed ownership, with question marks over their breeding full stop.

Similar Issues exist in racehorse and greyhound breeding with animals not reaching the required grade being disposed of inhumanely, but these are low-risk to the public (that does not make it any less of a crime).

But with this new crime of breeding and ear-cropping muscular dogs than can and frequently maim and kill, penalties and laws need to be introduced that:

1. Limit breeding
2. License ownership
3. Reduce risk (castration and sterilisation help).

The criminals, plus extremely lax regulation around ownership are way ahead of any laws at present. I cannot imagine the pain of those and their families caused by these pointless and avoidable attacks.

I assume the ‘castration and sterilisation’ comment is aimed at the owners……

Doesn’t matter the type of dog. Any dog can be dangerous. Even if they are trained.

I have a working cocker. But I would never let him be unsupervised around young children. Even if we see children when walking him, I stick him straight back on lead. Not that he is dangerous, but it’s a stupid risk to take as children are unpredictable.

Comes down to being a responsible owner.
The dangerous dogs legislation is a bit poor to be honest, as so much comes down to the owners.

Hate cats though.

People who let their dogs loose off the lead anywhere where other people are likely to be need jailing. Regardless of how 'soft' or well trained the dog every single one of them can react badly when spooked by something.

And the assumption all is fine with letting their dog approach others.

Used to have a German Shepherd from a rescue centre and turned her from a nervous wreck into a loving family pet. Despite that she very obviously had issues with strangers and other dogs. Kept her on a lead at all times unless we were in a secure fenced area or somewhere where I could see a very long distance in all directions and purposefully out of areas and situations likely to stress her.

But the amount of bellends who'd let their dogs come running over to her when I had her on the lead was mindboggling.

That’s my biggest annoyance with other dog owners. My dog would run over to every dog if we let him to say hello (well he runs past them hoping to be chased). But if they are on lead, I immediately put him back on lead. It’s common decency. But my in laws dog isn’t as friendly (due to being attacked) so he is always out on lead around other dogs, but I’d say every day we have issues on the beach with other dogs coming up to him and their owners doing nothing about it.

Someone PM’d me, as they want to keep anonymous, and asked me to ask the question in the thread;

Should all dangerous dogs be put down so we can start again and protect our society?

When you say dangerous Dogs', do you mean dogs that have actually harmed people, or as general breeds?

Important distinction.

If a dog is out in a public place it should be on a lead… simple really

Should the owners of dangerous dogs share the fate of their dog when it takes a human life? thereby protecting our society?

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Absolutely impressed by the bites Chico has got from a few savage GOT poodles already.

Dogs are knobs btw. I've got one, but he's a dolt.

Let me check with the poster mate.

Right they said “all dangerous breeds rounded up and put down ASAP”.
