It said on the lunctime news that it is highly unlikely any charges would be brought against the owner, as the attack happened in a private house.

The law needs changing.

It certainly does.

I know people that have had and still have bull terriers and terriers in various forms and they dont have problems with them but do err on the side of caution. This includes my mum who has a staffie/english cross. It can be a fun animal but gets carried away when having fun but has a yellow streak that is on the large side.

Here in Sydney they have just passed that very law,giving council ranger's the right to put a dog down straight away.Church Boy

Another neighbour said the 12-month-old dog had been "trained" to attack others.'

Like I said earlier, whilst d*ckheads like this carry on having these dogs, more children will be maimed and die.

That guy is an absolute KnobHe*d, and shouldnt be allowed near dogs again for life. And serve some time inside.

But it still could of been the same outcome if the dog he had was a different breed.

I'm sure the poor child wouldn't be dead, or her grandmother still in hospital, if the dog had been a Poodle or a Yorkie, or any other dog not bred primarily for their aggression.

But what if it was a

Akita, Border Collie, Bull Dog, Bull Mastif, Boxer, Dalmation, Doberman, German Sheperd, Great Dane, Greyhound, labrador, Poodle, Rottweiler.

To name just a few not bread for aggression as such, or the HUGH amount of cross breeds there are.

Would it of been different? in a better or worse way?

Can all dog breeds not be aggressive?

I can't find any information of the other dogs listed, killing children.

Sadly worldwide there are plenty of cases relating to Pit Bulls.

Even one young life taken because some moron uses them as a status symbol, is too many.

chav1 · 03-01-2007, 15:23

read in teh paper that the guy who owned the dog that killed his neice was photographed laughing and joking only hours after her death

glad the pillock found somthing to laugh about and the incodent hasnt caused him too much grief

Meaning what exactly?

If enough people debate this issue, and public opinion forces more changes in the law, and another tradgedy like this can be averted in the future, I'll keep on posting thank you.

I don't find the fact that these were 'only' maulings by other breeds, rather than deaths, any more acceptable.

Dont get me wrong, I feel that ANY and ALL dogs should be treated with the respect the deserve.

I just dont agree with the singaling (SP) out of certain Breeds/Breed.
