My Staffie gets attacked by vertually every dog he comes across, yet the owners usually have a go at me because I'm the one with the "Dangerous " dog

I know the copper who was dealing with that last night, he said it was one of the worst jobs he has had to deal with. I feel sorry for the girl and her family because she was in a hell of a state. There is possible jail time coming for the owner

Do we REALLY need another thread like this? This topic has been done to death on here; especially over the last few months!

Now LMFAO!
It is however a serious incident.
Not sure just what this thread will achieve except to show another child has been injured by another dog - for whatever reason, bad dog, bad owners, etc and i am sure the usual theories will get trotted out - along with a few infractions

You can get a trainer to make a poodle sit on command
You can get a trainer to make a lion sit on command
Should lions be allowed to be taken for walks on our streets by anyone who fancies having one?
The issue is that there are many dumb people in the world. With the right training many of these animals will be safe. Under the current rules there is no requirement for people to prove that they have the right training. That is what is wrong.
There should be a licensing scheme for all dangerous dogs where owners have to prove that they can cope with them (just like people have to get driving licenses).
If that solves the problem, then great. If not, then the dogs that are physically strong enough to do these things just have to be banned.

In a nutshell, dogs like humans are fine to start with in decent, loving environments.

The whole point is, a little girl was seriously injured. That is a fact. I think that is a very bad thing to happen. I thought that dogs were supposed to be muzzled these days, or certain types of dog at least.
Can anyone actually suggest a way to protect innocent people from these sorts of attacks though?

End of the day, **** happens, its bad for the little girl but its just another story. I bet more kids are bitten by Westies (West Highland Terriers, not the blacks from West Indies) just the papers dont report it because a paper cut did more damage.

That is the POINT....no one is saying only one type of dog bites, we are saying THESE dogs do more harm.
Do you think paintball guns should be ranked alongside AK47's in the law?
There IS an issue around the likelihood of one dog biting over another, based on the nature of that dog - but i cant be bothered with that beyond saying take a wolf pup, raise it as a house dog then let your kids play with it. After all, you raised it, it'll be fine

Muzzling protection dogs would be like putting 4 wheels on a motorbike.

If you abuse any breed of dog, it will bite.
Train a "Hard" breed properly and it won't
Kill all Black people. They all steal
Kill all Muslims. They're all Terrorists.
Kill all teens. They're all chavs
Kill all strong people. If they're in a fight, they could kill
In fact kill alll humans. We are all capable of violence.

Secondly I completely agree with what you have to say, as I have done on many of the previous dog threads. Ive said exactly the same thing as you many times over, I just cant be arsed typing it all out again on a thread that only about 5 people are following. Maybe it was just a wooosssshhhhh for you.

Thats my point. A few dumbass owners give the whole bread a bad name.
If you abuse any breed of dog, it will bite.
Train a "Hard" bread properly and it won't
Great.
Kill all Black people. They all steal
Kill all Muslims. They're all Terrorists.
Kill all teens. They're all chavs
Kill all strong people. If they're in a fight, they could kill
In fact kill alll humans. We are all capable of violence.

So you agree? We kill all humans and its problem solved? Glad my policies are hitting home

How come its more often then not the pit bull breed that are responsible for these attacks ? Because there is a high percentage of scumbags that own this type of dog maybe ? I dont think thats so, Where im from every scumbag in the area has a boxer dog ( including me 
) yet there hasent been one attack that ive heard about. So im putting it down to the type of dog rather then just the owner and think they should all be destroyed.
