Well that's your idea, not hers. And it will never happen, you would have to ban anything starting with dogs size of the lab.
It's hilarious how somebody just posted "breeds like XL bullies are associated with increased numbers of deadly attacks is because of their size: these larger dogs are more likely to cause significant injury in the event of an attack" as though this is an argument not to ban them.
That's EXACTLY WHY they need to be banned.
And not phased out, or neutered and chipped. Rounded up and destroyed.
Yes, but it would solve 90% of the dog biting problems.
Anyway, what do you think ban will achieve? Even basic rules around the ownership of the dogs are not followed and enforced.
A friends dog was killed by a pit bull and when he called in ready to strangle the owner he found a very upset couple with a scrote of a son who actually owned the dog , no offense to young people but this guy just got the dog for image proposes
No it wouldn't, it's that simple.
It would allow dogs to be seized before they injure or kill someone.
As things stand, a dog is only considered "dangerous" after it attacks, and that's the whole problem.
You know ban doesn't work like that don't you, at least not from the start. And even later is not as easy.
And even if you think it's that easy, how does it come, basic rules when it comes to ownership of dogs, are kind of ignored by some. No consequences, no nothing. But ban will sort about everything right.. Come on..
Pay attention to breeders and owners. Makes more sense to me. Yeah I know, it's more complicated than shouting ban ban ban. And my sincere apologies for putting the brain of few here under the unwelcome pressure.
I think the solution I have put forward - ban all large dogs in urban areas - neatly sorts the problem.
After all, the excellent expert advice found and posted by @xhomelezz was that "larger dogs are more likely to cause significant injury in the event of an attack."
It is also easier to enforce because just looking at the dog will tell you.
How would banning of a particular breed work? Is there scientific test, a genetic test maybe, that would determine the breed? What if the dog is a mongrel and is part one of the banned breeds? What would the percentage have to be for it not to be killed? Less than 50%, less than 20%, less than 5%? Or would any trace of the banned breed mean the dog must die?
You want to keep the dog, you need insurance, registered and the bitch has to be spayed. They don't round up all the dogs and kill them. You won't be able to get public liability though so your option will be never let the dog out in public or put it to sleep.
None of the bans actually worked so.. Be my guest and show me how would it neatly as you say sort it. Unless ban is some kind of magic word people look up to, can't see it working.
And you know, read the whole text, take a deep breath, read it again and think for a while. It's better practice, instead of quoting some parts of what she says, without the context..
Or live in your fantasy that small dog can have a happy free roam in a small garden.
Apologies for interrupting, but you've completely missed the question ..
Well we'll see how that works in the UK in near future, DNA labs will be under the pressure soon and dog wardens will be equipped with this at the end..
And this
The video further down in the article showing the kid being attacked is scary, despite 3 adults trying to get it away from the kid, it was determined to savage the poor kid. They seem to have a real killing instinct bred into them.
Pay attention to breeders and owners. Makes more sense to me. Yeah I know, it's more complicated than shouting ban ban ban.
It's not more complicated at all, because what you're proposing is to do absolutely nothing, which is the simplest thing you could possibly propose.
Breeders and owners are the reason this issue exists. They are the cause of the problem, expecting them to solve it is unrealistic, to say the least.
He kills another creature in the family and you say it was needless that he be put down!
I propose to do nothing? Really? Your selective reading is amazing.
But at least you've finally found the culprit behind the problem. And I guess you are not expecting dogs sort that problem? So who is left to sort out?
Instead of blaming dogs as it's popular in these quarters.
I've asked you for a full story you posted here. Simple.
Red herring. The dog was potentially dangerous to us as kids would you have preferred that he killed one of us instead?
Well, last time it was a cat as far as I remember. Anyway another smoke screen.. you can't give a straight answer, I'm not surprised by that, but understand.
To answer your question, this bùllshit will bite you back at some stage..
It's not me that's not giving a straight answer. Anyway a cat can be a pet too. Would you have preferred that one of us was killed?
I blame the owners 100%.
The dog is what it is. It's been custom bred to be an unstoppable killing machine, of course it's going to attack people. It's like blaming a landmine for exploding when someone steps on it, what else is it going to do, that's what landmines do.
The fault lies with the owners, and therein lies the problem. Relying on the owners of these things to magically mend their ways and act responsibly is like asking an XL bully not to savage children - it's just not in their DNA, they'll never do it, they wouldn't even know how. It's fantasy to talk about 'educating' owners. Absolute fantasy.
So the only realistic option is to get rid of the dogs. Any other solution is doing nothing, which is exactly what you're proposing.
Haha keep trying.
Not biting?
Ok, I think you are mixing ants and squirrels together and coming out with this.
So the only realistic option, should've done it ages ago (but we all have to learn right), is to leave you to enjoy whatever you do.
Ban ban ban, even if it achieves nothing..why not.
Not anymore mate. Hope your next family dog will be more lucky and cat too.
Kill every XL Bully out there. Wouldn't even bat an eye lid.
In that case both dog and owner should be put down.
Great to see mod in action. This thread is actually amazing.
