So are golden labs, they're responsible for more attacks on family members than any other dogs. Strangely they don't get any bad press.

I have an Am-staff cross and he's the most pleasant dog you could come across.

Golden Lab don't have the tools to do as much damage, and I don't recall a fatal attack by one, (not to say there hasn't been any). Someone getting bitten by a dog, not news, someone being killed by a dog, news.

None of this is the dogs fault.

Ah stop will ya. You got a link to that?
Statistics will show that certain types of dog are more dangerous than other. Same as smokers that defend by saying. I know someone who lived to 100 and smoked 57 a day.

Dangerous dogs should be bred out of existence.

The difference between a pit and a lab is obvious.
Labs might bite more people , but that's as far as they will usually go.
If A pitbull gets a set on you , it will kill or do serious damage to you or whatever it's after if it can.
You will literally have to kill the dog to get it to stop.

Spose I'm just afraid of dogs, especially pitbulls. Would expect responsible owners to keep muzzles on these dangerous breeds, and would expect/hope Gardai enforce legislation in relation to these dangerous breeds.
After that, I don't really care much about people and their pets.

Terrible news, I'll get slatted for this opinion but I know people with large dogs such as pit bulls(bull mastiffs in this case) and they can often have difficulty controlling them. The reply you always get is your more likely to get bitten by a Jack Russell.The difference in my opinion is if a Jack Russell bits you you can lift them but the strength that some pit bulls/Rottweiler is unreal.

It's the owners of the dog that are to blame the majority of the time any dog can can be dangerous if the owners can't control them.

The owner of the dogs should have the book thrown at them.

What a horrible death. Jesus the thought of going under at the teeth ripping your own flesh.
