License all dogs and the only way to get a license is to take a course and pass it. Chip the successful dogs, no chip and the dog is taken and either rehoused or destroyed immediately and the owner fined and banned from owning a dog for a set amount of time. If you don’t have a car license or insurance you walk if you don’t have a dog license you lose the dog with immediate effect. Police and RSPCA can be given more powers.
I’ll preface this with I’m a dog owner and love my old rescue greyhound. Dogs are a blight on our local environment, everywhere is full of dog shit or poo bags. Most dogs I meet aren’t trained and jump up or bark to which their idiot owner giggles and apologises . Given a button to ban all dogs (and cats) I’d press it in a second.
Make owners accountable for their dogs across the board.
Bites someone–that’s assault. Kills a kid. Banged up for murder, me old chum.
Idiots can’t control, misuse/abuse their dogs. Answer, kill the dog. What an advanced society we have become.
Rather than banning dogs can we just ban certain people?
Should treat these types of attack as assault with a deadly weapon, and sentence as if a firearm had been used
> Giuliani concluded it was not appropriate for Buster to live with other members of Bell’s family and ordered him to be destroyed.
I don’t understand our obsesssion with treating pets as property and ordering them to be ‘destroyed’ the moment they bite a person. This is a dog who has had a shitty owner and probably doesn’t know better because he was raised on a council estate by a chav who wanted a dog that looked “proper ‘aard.” Isn’t it more ethical to keep violent dogs in the pound like we would incarcerate a human prisoner?
Like… imagine the outrage from human rights groups if we started executing people convicted of common assault.
Bell was jailed for eight and a half years and was banned from keeping pets for 18 years.
I never get this, why banned for only 18 years? Why not for life? So many times I have seen people commit horrendous abuse towards animals and subsequently be banned from keeping animals for 5 or 6 years. It’s daft.
This is absolutely disgusting. Anyone who would deliberately order a dog attack on police officers should face the harshest possible punishment. I’m calling for mandatory minimums of at least 20 years in prison, with hard labour, for anyone who commits such a heinous crime.
Police officers put their lives on the line every day to protect us, and they deserve our utmost respect and support. When someone attacks them in this way, it’s an attack on all of us. We can’t tolerate this kind of behaviour, and we need to send a clear message that it won’t be tolerated.
I hope that the courts take a tough stance on cases like this, and that they hand down the maximum possible sentence. We need to protect our police officers, and we need to show that we stand with them in the face of such appalling violence.
It amazes me that dog owners don’t realize their house stinks, a bit like smokers.
WTF is it lately with this subreddit spamming every single dog-related crime that happens in the UK?
He admitted the offence, saying “The dog on the Tyne’s all mine, all mine”.
Why are these fucking dogs not banned yet?
How many more people have to be maimed and killed by them?
