No gore or blood or anything, but it’s pretty grim viewing.
Don’t wait for government to do anything. Carry pepper spray or a small but functional whip
Lead only, and muzzles, would go a long way to reducing harm caused by dogs.
I moved from East London after two events:
1) a gang unleashed pit bulls on an owner and their dog in order to steal their puppy. I arrived at the aftermath. A knife sticking out of the owner’s dog’s head.
2) I was walking my dog to the park and some fucking moron had his two pit bulls off the leash OUTSIDE the park. Their dogs immediately rushed at mine across the road while he’s yelling “come back here right now” and kissing his teeth at the inconvenience. The dogs followed us for a while.
Happened in the same week.
Looking at the statistics dog ownership increase 15% since lockdown. I did wonder if this sudden surge in stories was pr spin to usher in a new law at some point, but the numbers of attacks and fatal attacks has increased, and no surprise about the types of dogs that are doing it.
Of course, it’s some Bully cross breed, quelle surprise.
What would, genuinely, be the most effective way to protect yourself if you’re in a situation like this? Even if it’s just one dog – How do you effectively escape this kind of situation without sustaining serious injuries?

Is that what 4th attack this week that government could stop and ban those dogs today they have a power
Okay what’s happening? I assume these dogs exist for the other 51 weeks of the year. Why the sudden reports of these attacks?
So is it that the UK tabloids have a new thing to obsess over? Or is it that it’s nice weather so these dogs are suddenly in the park?
