neems 2,406 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 The last thing anyone wants is more red tape,we should at least try just making dog owners responsible for their dogs actions. if that doesn't solve the problem,then move on to insurance etc though how many dog attacks actually happen on the street? All forcing insurance will do is make these people not walk their dogs,which in turn will lead to more 'accidents'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is that not what we,ve been doing for the last 20 years ?... giving fools choices hasnt quite worked has it....id rather take that choice away from them....or at least make it a tougher choice. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neems 2,406 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Didn't those dykes whose presa killed an old man get 1 year in prison,they'll probably do less than 6 months. that's not taking responsibility,I also mean for people with snarling nasty dogs walking down the road,make them responsible too. Very few of the people who cause attacks will insure etc,they'll just lock up their poor pitbulls/mastiff x's etc in the house and the amount of attacks will probably go up,especially fatal ones involving kids. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Its like any law.....it will only be as strong as the strength its enforced at......................if a person doesnt insure there dog they get fined/banned/imprisoned whatever..........get dog wardens out and about if a dog is known to be at an address where licence/insurance is not coming up then enforce the law its that simple.

neems 2,406 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 That would have to involve giving dog wardens more powers to be workable,which is definitely not a road I want to go down. Let's just try the most obvious and un-intrusive option first,we can always force old ladies to muzzle and insure their yorkies under threat of it being destroyed if more reasonable measures don't work Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnasher16 31,310 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Id say we,ve tried un intrusive options and this is where we are at..................personally ive no problem with dog wardens having the power to scan a dogs id chip......thats all it needs be.

neems 2,406 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 We haven't really,not proportionately at least,a dog kills a man in his own kitchen and the owners get a year. is that justice? will it send a strong message? Dog warden:I hear you have an unregistered dog at this address I'll need to scan it,to make sure it's chipped and insured. baghead: f@ck off (slams door) Now dog warden needs the police,who in turn will need a warrant if they're not invited in,by which time the dogs long gone. what about freemen and 'travellers'? They'd have to consent for this to apply to them,which of course they won't. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bracken boy 584 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Im just not in favour of insurance,, i see myself as good to my dogs i care, i walk, groom, feed,love, vets when needed, so im just so against another tax against me as the pathetic actions of scum who dont care for their dogs or law or other peoples dogs, children, and at times themselves, with the things we pay for nowdays more money from my pocket would make me think about owning more dogs in the future, all my life dogs have been by my side so there must be another way to stop pondlife from having dogs 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bosun11 537 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 Personally, I wouldn't give two fecks about whats behind closed doors, it can stay there BUT as soon as it's seen on the streets, which sooner or later it will be, as they are status symbols and need to be shown, it's checked and if found lacking, its gone.. Easy..! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ins and outs of how such a law would work is way beyond me......but it has to be a better idea than just saying " make people responsible and give them 20 years once their dog has killed a child " Quote Link to post Share on other sites

But he went to couple houses where they had big gsd on chain and other house with pits on chains, the worst that would bite you was the gsd , the pit werent to bad. but he told me all the houses had young kids knocking about there and its only question of time that the more kids aren't killed with dogs like above all our dogs were locked away in kennel_runs best for any powerful breed I think better safer than sorry Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And the problem is the owners aren't being punished appropriately,what you're suggesting wouldn't work imo,but we're not at the point where it would be necessary even if it could. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WILF 49,667 Posted August 6, 2014 Report Share Posted August 6, 2014 (edited) Gnasher and Bosun....,.you talk good old common sense when it comes to the big dogs lads, well done. My very uneducated opinion is, you take a dog that has generations of breeding for a specific purpose, you them get some tit winding it up for its whole life to make the meanest looking, pumped up beast it can be..........and the animal has no natural outlet !! They are like un-exploded ordinance, they may never go off but if they do some poor c**ts gonna die. I had some bint round my house 2 years ago crying her f***ing eyes out "you know about dogs, can you help me with my EBT I can't cope with him" "NO!" 2 years on.....EBT is gone..........she has two mastives now!!!' I f***ing despair, I really do!!! Edited August 6, 2014 by WILF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
