Dangerous Dogs Owners

😆 You saying you don’t believe in aliens?

Some people are happy to say their dogs are spoiled or their kids are.

Spoiled rotten is a term used to say something is.…well.

Obeying the law is one of the important bits here…

A driver must:-

Pay adequate attention to the road ahead

Obey rules around schools, Estates inc. children at play areas.

Having their car road-worthy (NCT), breaks operations etc.

Not having an illegally modified car

Having insurance against 3rd party accidents

…but I would still say most times a child is hit, some or all of the responsibility has been placed on the driver….I'm, sure there are plenty of court cases that can be referenced.

And then for a Dog owner:-

Having their dog under control at all times in a public place. (Lead or no lead, excited kids or not).

Have a lead and mussel on if on the restricted list

Having a dog licence etc.

I'm not saying parents should not teach their kids obviously, but the rules of the road and how to interact with dogs, is not the same.

If you do not own a dog, you can only teach the common manners etc, but not how every dog might react and what sublet signs to look out for might be.

children are children, they should not have to worry about coming into contact with dangerous animals. hope this helps

dogs are definitely born aggressive, I've had 4 dogs, Shetland, Labrador, staffie/boxer mix, boxer- the only one that I had to spend time training, and was brilliant when I was with him, was the staffie, when I was not there, he could not be trusted.

The other dogs were all capable of showing aggression, - when s stranger entered our yard and came back a second time, the Shetland bit him on the calf, as my grandmother was there alone with me, I was 9. The Labrador would attack anyone that came into the yard when we were not there, the 1980's in the country. The staffie growled at my friends children when they were play acting around him, he also killed 3 cats. The boxer was trained off-lead and the best dog I've ever met or had, he was a legend in my town, everyone loved him-he growled and showed aggression when a neighbour came into the house when I was upstairs, I also used to patrol a building, when there was trouble, I'd go with a mag lite and put him on a lead, that meant, to him, he was on duty, he would tug at the lead barking when we found people in the building. He also got agressive and I had to get him off someone that was wearing a hoodie on a walk in the woods, and they started shouting at me-so, he went for them. Had the guards call to the door and the dog Warden, they met Dre, and had no problem when I explained to them what happened. He would also bark at anyone that came down our back communal area, if they were not from there, or with someone from there.

ANyway-no, I would not trust a staffie or any bull mix.

People really are simpletons. An XL Bully is named for the sports they were bred for, bull bating and dog fighting. Arguing the circumstances is nonsense when discussing this breed, they were literally born and bread for extreme agression and it's only a testiment to good owners and trainers who understand animals, that things like this don't happen more.

Unfortunatly, regards this breed, many of those owners are the kind of people who probably shouldn't own animals full stop. Chavs that think they look hard with an vicious dog on a lead and simpletons like the that poor woman, who thought 'no dog is inherently a danger' and if I just give them hugs and kissies they'll unconditionally love me back and never flip out and kill me. Bully owners sound like battered wives to me. It's not him, it's me, I just need to do better. No love, it's definately him.

I'm sure the ban will be about as much use as the ban on under 18's vaping and e-scooters on footpaths. They'll say anything for a vote and this could be timed nicely.

it's also to sheer size of them. I had to deal with 600 to 700 kg bullocks the last few months, and while they are generally docile, you are only realistically seconds from death if spooked for any reason beyond your control. I keep my close interaction with them as limited as possible. Why anyone would keep an animal like an XL bully in your house, by choice, is bizarre.

For that 2 grand, I know I am getting the dog from a puppy farm, I know the puppy has been fed right and not benn physically abused. I dont have to worry about inbreeding as I have both parents documented.

My parents used to get dogs from the pound and one was a right disaster. They bought what they thought was a Jack Russel terrier but was an Entele buscher cattle dog (much bigger than they could manage) they couldnt train him, he was always sick with distemper. In the end he had to be put down by the vet, it was the kindest thing to do. They never again got a dog from the pound.

You take your chances at the pound, you are getting a free dog. I have heard they tend to be more territorial.

For the fourth most expensive purchase in my life and my second best friend, why would you leave it to chance?

....

Agree with the title of the thread, dangerous dog owners are the problem and they should be put down, not the dogs!

The weirdest thing in this entire thread is the repeated claim (from only poster, in fairness) that it’s the child’s fault if they got their face ripped off.

Any examples?

Weren't you the one talking about pollution?
