Dangerous Dogs Owners

What does this have to do with this thread?

I'm not dying on any hill, and yeah I do understand that phrase..

I could say the same about numerous posts here. Still didn't realise the point I'm making, do you?

Regardless the breed involved, doggos should be looked after, should be raised well, breeding should be controlled etc.. Ireland is failing to provide and control any of this shít. I do not give two fingers about XL bullies , do not own any of those dogs, not interested to own one in future either. But I have no problem to react to this kind of nonsense..

Again, a “peep” with a chihuahua is no danger to anyone.

…

Edit: forgot to add, again aggression in dogs is not breed specific, you can look it up yourself. There are plenty of reasons for canine individuals to be aggressive, but there's not much of back up to paint certain breed that way.. Obviously you can prove me wrong and post your own resources.

I've been around this thread since the start and don't remember much of insight on the problem on your side, bar from the usual "killem all" nonsense..

you’re ignoring the fact that an aggressive or neglected spaniel is no threat to a fully grown adult but an aggressive XL bully needs armed police to control it.

Of course I'm not ignoring that. But there are 50 + breeds capable of that . You wanna ban them all, or what? I get that ban seems to be right thing to do, but in the long run, it's only about pushing dog problem away, not sorting it out. You and other posters painted a certain dog breed as a dangerous and aggressive, that's what I have problem with, because you have nothing to back that with, bar from few news articles.

Secondly, you might think that you cannot breed character traits into a dog but this is news to me. The entire world thinks that some breeds are more docile than others, but you and only you know the truth, that in fact they’re all the same. Fair enough, but you can understand why so many people disagree with you?

I don't know if you are doing this on purpose, but I haven't said anything like that. Quiet the opposite. Dogs are individuals, you won't find two same ones. On the aggression in dogs, I think I've posted enough of links to research done on that matter. Examples of countries who do things differently and it actually works for them. Which just got buried in usual rubbish posts this thread is full of.

My biggest problem with this topic is, that government is not able to put in some plan to actually sort out this mess. Breeding, ownership etc. The ban is populist "solution", it won't affect dog attacks. It won't improve anything IMO

To be very clear, you said:

“aggression in dogs is not breed specific”

It's in post 2642, and you've said similar things over and over again.

Maybe I misunderstood but you seem to be saying that no breed is more aggressive than any other. It is widely accepted that some breeds are more docile, others are more aggressive. It's absolutely bananas to deny this.

If everyone was going around with labradors and border collies, the number of attacks would plummet.

Why should this be on the government? Shouldn't dog owners bear the responsibilty of this? Why should we p*ss away my tax money on trying to teach toerags how to stop their custom-designed killing machine from savaging the neighbours?

People buy these dogs precisely to show that they don't follow the rules. Trying to educate these people to be more responsible dog owners is absolutely futile - no one who buys an XL bully is ever going to be responsible with it, because if they were, they wouldn't get one in the first place.

Common sense has prevailed, the ban is in.

Only a complete idiot, or a troll, would try to argue that every dog breed is as dangerous as the next.

I don't think I have ever read a story of a child mauled to death by a chichiuaua, or a poodle, or a cocker spaniel. If anyone wants to prove me wrong, post the link.

But I'd hazard a guess that 99% of maulings are by a very small number of breeds.

I thought dogs weren't allowed on beaches now between certain times?

And typical of Ireland, there will be no enforcement, and gulpins won't think any rules apply to them.

I'm saying that aggression is not inherited trait to any breed. And backed it up by studies and research done on that topic. If you happen to be attacked by German shepherd, that doesn't mean that whole breed is aggressive.. So how is it widely accepted? Humour me on that topic please.

The way I see it wrong dogs ends in wrong hands. Of course I accept that some breeds are potentially able to cause significant damage and potentially kill than others. But that doesn't say "this dog breed is aggressive". The problem of dog aggression is very complex and from what I've read, it's getting more common across all breeds. Start with breeding ass way, owners being shíte, social media..etc., the list is long. It is estimated by some studies that about 82% of dogs attacks are down to their pain.

I see you mentioning labradors in your post, breed which stands in bite stats very high, some argue it's because of high number as in popularity of that breed. For me it only shows awful amount of clowns owning those dogs. I love them , I'm on my second lab, she's pretty old in lab terms. Always was kind and great to my kids.

Love that part about pissíng away your tax money? What money you think are paying for implementing that ban? UK does the same approach and where did they get with it? One ban running from late 80' and dogs attacks on the rise.. That's what I would call píss away with my tax money..

Why should we p*ss away my tax money on trying to teach toerags how to stop their custom-designed killing machine from savaging the neighbours?

Just to say, is there anything to stop or prevent those people from buying different dog breed and use those dogs same way?

Give it a few years, or maybe even less and we'll be having the same conversation, just different breed. I'll probably remind you where your tax money ended.

How dare you come in here with some facts and common sense.
