And as usual Scotland has decided AFTER England to bring in the new laws,was a lady in Glasgow a few weeks back mauled by one 
Yeah that lady was visiting her grandson,WHYYYYYYY would you have two of those dogs with a small child in the house ?

[jaypo]

Yet more multiple deaths by XLs ,more attacks,when will it end? Why is it still happening? Latest one was a 23 year old woman,mauled to death, they were her "two babies" 

[Songbird]

Oh no  ………When will this stop? It’s dreadful. There are far too many attacks/deaths involving this “breed”! I just can’t understand the argument for anyone risking keeping one of these in their home! 

[jaypo]

Just shows you how they can turn on even their owners,last one was a 50 something woman,what a dreadful way to die 
Also a 70 year old lady walking her elderly pug,she said this dog ran through the wooden garden fence as if it wasn't there & killed her pug,in seconds,what a thing to witness

[CLKD]

People don't realise that falling and screaming triggers an old instinct in canines.  They will then 'turn'.  Once someone is on the ground they may be seen a prey by the dog especially where blood is concerned   ........ as well as the dog becoming frightened due to the noise.

Lion trainers used a whip and chair, not to chastise but to make their bodies wider ........ I was told by a lady who raised a bear from a small cub which she walked with her dogs, that once she had fallen she was seen by the bear as prey.  Which meant bear was kept in a large contained area and was so lonely 

Dogs should never be seen as 'babies'  .  One of these dogs in a recent incident was registered but the 25 year old woman had no chance of keeping it under control in a small garden.   . Horrific for everyone involved. 

[jaypo]

But in these incidences nobody fell ,this lady was just walking her dog and this monster came running out of a house.
The 23 year old had pictures of her and these two dogs face to face,even the photo made me nervy.
I've owned dogs of all shapes and sizes for 40 years and since a baby my mum and dad always had dogs,never thought I'd now be frightened of encountering one of these animals 

[CLKD]

It's certainly awful.  As with repeated knife attacks, I am now thinking about what I can carry that doesn't look offensive to the Police  ..........

[jaypo]

Yep me too clkd, I have a spray but it's only indelible ink wouldn't really stave off a dog attack, I've often thought about pouring some bathroom cleaner that has bleach in it into a small spray bottle

[CLKD]

Walking stick, female alarm alert, something like a frisby ........

This woman was doing literally nothing to provoke them

[CLKD]

It's awful.  I am trying not to imagine the noise and after effects of such attacks 

[jaypo]

I don't care what anyone says NONE of them are safe, bred for attack and fighting and that's exactly what they do ,there's literally no need to have a dog like that,none whatsoever 

[CLKD]

I agree.  These aren't lock down dogs there are bred for a purpose.  Dogs should be cherished, cared for, looked after: not used for old fashioned fighting nor as breeding machines.   

[ElkWarning]

I don't know about this.

The most likely dog you're going to be attacked by is a jack russell, but it's not going to kill you.

I've had rotties, alsatian crosses, staff crosses, and now I've got a toy poodle cross (very nippy little chap); but my daughter (33 this year, married long time, has a kid) owns two really big Boerbels, before that she had an American Bully, and before that she had a Dogue de Bordeaux, and before that a staffie.

Why?  Guard dogs.  She works at the worst end of child protection as a social worker.  Her clients are terrifying.  And County Lines is ripping a hole in our communities,  especially the most vulnerable.  It's not hard to find out where someone lives.  As it goes, you can see that she and her husband are experienced with large breeds.

I think the question should really be why are people willing to dice with death?  What are they so frightened of that they'd rather trust an animal with a brain the size of a pea over actual human communication?  Well, I found out recently at school.  Kid who was being evicted so that she could live in a car (yes, a car) had a Chow to defend herself.  As someone else says, these dogs get passed around, it's not just about the money, instead a sense of deep desperation.  Difficult to 'cherish' and 'care' when you're 14 years old and living in a car.

I too have had big dogs,boxers,German Shepherd,Hungarian Vizsla but NEVER would they be off a lead in public spaces,or left alone with a child or stranger. We definitely DO NOT need these dogs that look like they've been left alone in a steroid shop,they are lethal weapons and once those jaws clamp down on you,you'll never get them off without serious injury and or death,totally unacceptable. I love dogs but these need to be off the streets
