dogs and muzzles

[Red]

How is putting a seatbelt around you to protect YOUR LIFE and a muzzle that is stuck on your face with force to protect OTHERS similar? If someone was to strap a muzzle to my face the only thing it would do to me is make me vicious.

The seatbelt thing is a different topic altogether but just while we are on it I don't believe it's right for the law to tell me when I should protect myself. When I get into a car I put the seatbelt on me for my protection not because someone in a suit told me to.

Seat belts aren't just there to protect your life but the other people around you.

Training a dog works, it's fact. I think humans who think like yourself are selfish. Just because a dog may not be as intelligent as a human it doesn't mean their life is any less than ours. I don't want to wait for a dog to attack before it gets put down, I'm comparing it to our laws.

I don't want to be part of a cult that cares about nothing else but humanity.

Well no its not a fact because there is plenty of well trained dogs who go on to bite. FACT I don't just care about humanity? Just because I think that, doesn't mean I agree with animals should be treated with cruelty.

Meaning the two laws are in place for a VERY good reason. To protect, do you not understand that? You're saying the odd dog may bite but the owner should have known it was a threat me and Kirst are saying sometimes that doesn't matter they can change. I'd like to hear you tell your argument to one of the poor victims families, I'm sure they wouldn't be roaring for this law to be abolished.

As I said to kirst I don't want to wait for a dog to attack before it gets put down, I'm comparing it to our laws.

And strapping a mask to a dogs face even though they did nothing wrong isn't cruel?

Well at the end of the day imo the law is there for a good reason.

Pretty sure it doesn't hurt them and if it's saving innocent people from being seriously injured or killed then I support it.

Let me strap a muzzle to your face and see how nice it feels, we can see if you feel like you're being mistreated.

To sum things up I don't agree with muzzles unless a dog is vicious and for the government to make the laws so it is only for a specific breed isn't exactly fair. Jack russles are vicious little ******s and just because they can't do much damage doesn't mean they should be exempt from wearing muzzles.

Haven't read through all of this thread 'cause it's so long, but I just realised that there are more gang attacks than dog attacks.
And when a dog bites someone, it gets put down. When a cat bites someone, it's just being a cat? I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS.

Richie do you even own a dog? LMAO? Oh also @BamitsElfie!; never heard of a cat killing someone... Hardly considered dangerous now are they?

@Catchy; my cat bit my grandma, it got infected and she spent two nights in hospital. Whoops.

Not currently but I did have a few dogs and I was one of those owners who believed my dog couldn't be trained. I got my dog from a dog home, he was vicious when we first brought him home but after time he was gradually learning and getting better, then I had to get rid of him.

Chances of that happening though to most people???????? Rare.
@Richie; why did you get rid of him?
