Dangerous Dogs Owners

wtf is the story about the atttack being filmed? A young woman being horrifically killed by a savage dog, and someone has a phone recording it?

No it was on CCTV that was accessed remotely.

It was said she lived with her partner so assume it was them.

Only two nites ago American bulldog/pitbull in an estate beside mine got out and killed another dog that two young children were playing with. Lucky it was just a dog that was killed!!! Killers

I'm surprised there is even 50 full time dog wardens tbh.

So what do they do all day, how many of these restricted breeds and impounded or fined for not have mussels etc. because if I was to walk around for 8 hrs a day I'm sure I find a few everyday the town I'm in.

Even in the local park 2 days ago with mandatory leads at all times) there was a labrador or golden retriever off the lead, miles away from owner who was whistling and calling with no effect....I presume there's at least a fine for this?

Are muzzles compulsory in Ireland now for pitbulls?

I was just at local supermarket and saw a woman walking a pit bull with no muzzle. On a leash, yes but not muzzled. It was a strong looking thing. 4 wee bent legs that appeared to struggle under its weight.

I guess their feet would hardly touch the ground driving around to every dog there's a complaint about, catching strays and door to door checking licences they'd hardly have the time to patrol any park. 50 for the entire country is a drop in the ocean.

Muzzles are compulsory for certain breeds. Pit bull type needs to be muzzled at all times out in public

If a dog has to wear a muzzle in public, they aren't safe.

Yip, as I witnessed tonight.

Laws in Ireland seem to be something that only applies to 'other people'.

The down side of social media, some folks just share way too much, Facebook is toxic

A fair few areas in Dublin are like obstacle courses trying to avoid the dog sh*t on the street. That alone should tell everyone that a lot of people just can't be trusted to act appropriately and responsibly with dogs. I've never even been a fan of having dogs in the first place. Every day you see people walking around with their dogs pissing in every direction. It's comical when you think about it.

No disrespect. But I genuinely hardly ever see Dog s#@t on a footpath.

I see a lot in grassy areas etc. my Dog goes in the grass verges and actually usually on top of a big weed. If I took my garden sheers with me I could probably pick it up!? Hence I never do and am totally unapologetic.

Do you know anything about dogs? Why they cost so much? Why they take so much time? How much it costs to go the vet?

My dog cost me over e2k to buy. We have vets fees, grooming fees (80e), kennel fees (when we have two difficult days in a row, funeral or wedding), her food costs have doubled in a year, she gets an hours walk in the morning. All sorts of petting and treats. Vaccination and worming. As a result we havent had a holiday in 5 years. Training takes time and effort. I would say she costs us between e1k and e1.7k a year depending on the year. She also acts as my service dog, a snip for the joy she brings us.

So while a bitch is gestating, there is a lot more food, vets fees and associated work. Shure you can get one from the pound for a small donation. If you want to know your animal came from a good home, had proper nutrition, properly housed and bedded, you will pay that money. Dogs dont magically fall out of thin air.

You are correct, you know nothing about guns or shotguns.

A "solid" shot is a wad of lead used for blowing the bolts and hinges for breeching doors (Military/Police use, restricted). SA no 1 has about 9 ball bearings (should be lead but now changing to steel) and No.6 is used for small game.
