I'm sick of dogs being blamed for attacks.

They used to, it was called the dog licence. While not completely efficient it made it harder for chavs and druggies to have weapon dogs like pitbull terriers.

Animals have it programmed into them, for example my guniea pig is very scared and timid because when he was younger the old owners had a dog which would constantly bark at him. An animal uses animal instinct, it has no concept of right or wrong and its the same with dogs. Once a dog or an animal in general has attacked, it will be more likely to do so again because it is programmed into them. That is why dogs who do these attacks are put down and rightly so, because they are a danger and will always be a danger until they are dead.

Someone stole something once. Kill them "because it is programmed into them".

This is a very sad story, from what I've heard and read. The owner of the dog who is a breeder was not at home at the time, and the dog was not allowed in the house and was kept secure in the garden in presumably some kind of shed/kennel.

The dog somehow was released and went straight to the kitchen where the 18 month old was playing along with her sister in the presence of her mother and grandmother. The dog sank it's teeth into the toddlers head, and totally destroyed her head, and shook her like a rag doll

I don't see how anyone can prove without a shadow of a doubt, that this particular dog won't do it again.

Maybe the owner is to blame, we won't know until the full facts are established.

It's Completely Stupid. It's nit the animal's fault. It's the ownerss!!

[alexxxxx]

it's the owner's fault, the parent's of the baby's fault and the dog's fault. Of course the dog has no concept of right and wrong and if it does have this sort of violent mentality, it has to be put down. There are dogs which are generally more aggressive than others and do pose a risk, they shouldn't be allowed. Sad as it is, but it's true.

This makes allot of sense, that's like saying if a boy goes out and stabs someone to death its the parents fault, they should go to jail and take all of the blame.

I agree there absolutley !

[herrfishhead]

Just a thought, people are the most violent animals.

[Hitman]

There needs to be a ban on dogs being allowed on roads without a lead.

I agree. I always see dogs walking without leads and on one occasion my dog was attacked. It made me so mad. :@

Yes and humans stealing is comparable to animals attacking people.

Although I suppose you have a point, and thats why we invented prisons.
