as most will be aware two people have died this week from injuries sustained by dogs and im sure you will join me in extending condolancies to their families, i have deliberately titled this thread this way because i believe that the dogs are only dangerous if allowed to be sometimes "deliberately" others by pure chance,eg it makes a bid for freedom by chance,never the less any death that could have been prevented is one too many,and before the doggy people attack me, the question (debate) is should the law now be tightened as to what type of dogs people are allowed to keep and penalties for owners of dogs that are not controlled properly as i believe most do

Forgive me for referring to the original post, but wasn't it about Dangerous Dogs, not all dogs?      I was brought up to 'live and let live' in a society which contains all sorts and types of people (including children!), dogs, chickens and a myriad of other animals.  Regrettably, many debates on this site revert to suggestions to 'ban' or 'charge for' things that the poster does not personally like.  Some of the previous posts on this thread fall into that category.  
If it was me, I would ask for 'grumpy old so and so's' to be banned from all Caravan Club sites in the interests of the majority.  I would be interested to know how many people agree?

Exactly!.  Any dog can be dangerous at some time, so that means all dogs.

Trouble is that dog owners treat their pets as "children" and think they will not attack.  At the end of the day, they are animals and will go to basics and attack if given the correct incentive

I think you mean some dog owners, as the majority of us are sensible it is as usual the odd few as with any behavioural traits.Frown. Use left and right arrows to navigate.

Its the ones that are spoilt rotten (as children or just as dogs) that very easily can turn dangerous.  Dogs need clear boundaries in their training.

Just reported that another child has died and another with life changing injuries after being attacked by a dog in Colchester.  No other info available yet.  The thing is that stuff like this keeps happening and on past evidence it seems that inappropriate people are keeping inappropriate dogs for their circumstances. 

Mrs One was knock over by an out of control Boxer dog in Lowestoft on Wednesday.  The owner didn't apologies just come up with the usual, 'he's just being friendly', when I suggested they put their pet on a lead as they didn't have any control of it, you can guess the response, it ended with "off " 

As I've said previously I'm not anti dog just anti irresponsible owners and the sooner they are banned from keeping dogs the better.

The problem is Oneputt these irresponsible people will take no notice of a ban, just like the guy in Manchester who was recently caught driving while disqualified for the 61st time.
