Watched the video. That ar5ehole "owner" needs to be shot. Those dogs are excited and experiencing high levels of dog arousal - due to their owner's behaviors. Its no surprise they bit two people but its 100% that pr!cks fault.
PS - I'd rather an experienced zookeper walk a bic croc down the highstreet than some retard with a jack russell
Totally agree on the owner in the video
Looks like you have scared Tony off, or he is busy walking the jack russell
Hi,
What seems to be a common thread in the US stats that you posted and many of the UK cases is that the dogs have often attacked children when the actual owners were not present and the kids were being looked after by grannies, aunts, friends, babysitters etc.
I have been bitten badly by dogs twice in my life - once was my fault and the other was not.
The first bad bite was on my face when I was just three years old and I was cuddling my uncles black Labrador sized mongrel - it turned and badly bit me on the face. Luckily it did not scar (although doctor thought it would). Even to this day my face twitches involuntarily if any dog gets too near it.
The second bite was from a German shepherd being walked by a teenage girl on behalf of the owner. I was about 10 at the time at it bit my **** as I simply walked past it. My parents called the police and we went with them to the owners house to identify the dog. It was totally friendly with me when it was with the owner!
Neither of the above incidents put me off dogs, luckily - and I just got a new one in February this year!
Cheers
Steve

The answer's simple then - ban ownership of all larger and/or potentially aggressive breeds of dogs unless the owner commits to personally supervising them 24/7. Failure to comply resulting in minimum 5-figure fines plus jail time for the owner if the dog gets out of control while in someone else's care, plus of course penalties on the same scale as causing serious or fatal injury through careless or dangerous driving, for the person supposedly in charge of the dog when it got out of control.
Until the problem starts being taken as seriously as above, there will always be a steady supply of muppets owning these animals without taking adequate care and precautions.
There are no UK stats available. Although reading the US stats, I need to get myself a couple of pit bulls. Rotties are clearly a bit sh!te in comparison at killing americans

So long as its not a pit bull like the one on the Roadkill show (Bika...RIP ); She was probably the laziest and most lethargic dog I have ever seen.
More children are killed by their own relatives each year , than people killed by dogs. In years to come, parents and relatives will be banned, and people will be safe. Ffs.
The only people who ever moan about dog breeds are the ones who've never spent time with any of them. Purely media based opinions with zero actual experience.
Time to ban more breeds I'm afraid, and yes knives kill people...
....but we don't let kids play with them either!
The, don't blame the breed blame the owner, phrase doesn't wash anymore as their are so many bad owners out there. Why should children be put in peril for the sake of the few responsible owners who want an animal with a high bite force?

Now change the breed to 'cars' and owner to 'drivers' - how many children are killed by cars? Shall we ban all cars because of the irresponsible drivers?

The maximum penalty for causing death by driving without undue care is currently 7 years inside, soon to be increased to 14. The maximum penalties for allowing a dog to get dangerously out of control are trivial in comparison. They need to be increased massively, so that the knuckle-dragging mongs who can't or won't control their dogs are either kept off the streets entirely (along with their dogs), or put off from obtaining them in the first place.
