dogs and muzzles

[Kyle]

The law does require the second dog you mentioned to be muzzled. If the owner knows that it could potentially bite people or go out of control in public then they need to muzzle it. IDK if this applies to ireland but it certainly is the case in the UK and really is common sense.

I think the law is quite accurate on this occasion. If a particular breed of dog is known to be dangerous (because of it being bred as a fighting dog, for example), then even if its owner has trained it perfectly, there's always that off chance that it could go absolutely mental and gobble up some poor little girl's face. It has happened before, hence the rules being there now.

You can't compare a dogs behaviour to human behaviour... Lmao :S

That's my question though, why can't we? because that's how society teaches us to think.

Lets lock up all black man because a vast majority of them are known to be thieves. We wouldn't want to risk the chance of a black man raping a girl or robbing a bank now could we.


Don't you get were i'm coming from?

Okay then we will scrap the rule who needs it, pointless isn't it really? Then one day an incompetent dog owner will think, mmm I don't need one of these things. Attacks someone. Don't understand how people can say it isn't a necessary law. They are dangerous!

Then they should be held responsible for keeping a dangerous dog and allowing it to go out in public without thinking of peoples safety first.

However it wouldn't of needed to happen in the first place. Laws are in place for a good reason Richie they don't just come up with these laws lightly.

They do...... and I think its better to have these safety precautions in place before some innocent person has its face ripped off by one of these dogs. They are banned for a reason! Just because your friends dog wouldn't harm a fly, doesn't mean others are like that. Plus you hear time and time again of dogs who people thought they were well trained and then turned nasty.

A lot of crimes humans commit could be prevented but the law waits until the damage is done, so why should that be different for animals?

You've sort of contradicted yourself there lol. A lot of dog attacks could of been prevented in the past and then o wait, a law was enforced. It's not different.

Which is why it should be up to the owner to take responsibility not the law. A man across the road from me was apparently really nice, friend and wouldn't have a bad thing to say to anyone. One night he killed his parents and left them in the house for days until neighbours found them. Should precautions be put in place for humans too? You're all very naive.

Richie you how can you compare human behaviour to dog behaviour?!!!!!! I have to leave this thread it's annoying me now
