They should investigate which brand of drink is most popular with drink drivers and ban it, that should solve the problem. Same for the type of car.

Why not just make the law easy.
Dog off lead has to be muzzled.
Dog on lead does not need to be muzzled, unless it's one of a legislated breed.
Might nullify the status dog Neanderthals.

A car isn't capable of starting itself, getting off the drive and mowing people down indiscriminately on it's own.
A dog though can wander into a kids playground though. Add into that a breed with huge teeth, powerful jaws and you can see the results.

It’s just like gun control in the states! Guns don’t kill people on their own but if you take guns off people then no one gets shot! If you ban staffies then less kids would get mauled. Its pretty simple to me and I don’t care how cuddly various staffies might be, they are the dog of choice for thugs and if you make them illegal then that is an appropriate deterrent for the sort of idiots who keep them as gangsta style status dogs.

Did he poison it with his toxic arse? Chopper is a big old softy, he looks like something that's been bred for bringing down rogue elephants but then spends the afternoon with his head on your lap wanting his belly rubbed.
Staffies aren't bad dogs, it's the owners. Poor owner=bad dog, it really is as simple as that.
Aww i said your name and he has gone all sad :-( hehe
Yeah i am with the owners bit, i admit it is hard to police it though. Idiots would think nothing of keeping such a dog hidden in a kitchen all day just so they do not get taken.
There are enough bad owners around as it is, we do not want policy that exacerbates the situation of bad ownership.
I would pay a tax but unless a task force was setup with the cash from that and more it would be hard to enforce licensed dogs.
It would be the rogue owners who hide their dogs away when they come knocking. Again unless this force could say "we know you have this dog and you either give it up or license your pet and get training yourself or jail for 12 months" they will get nothing done. This takes a lot of laws (we probably cant pass fast because of the EU) and setting up, i doubt any gov has the stomach to care enough tbh either.
It makes my blood boil now watching these shows where badly treated dogs get taken away yet the owners get a fine of 50 quid or something. I would jail them for 10 years for it personally.
tl;dr Dog ownership law/good practice in the UK needs to be revised, root and branch.
I'm of the opinion that responsible owners shouldn't be punished. I hope I haven't given a different impression.
As has been suggested, I think ALL dogs should be muzzled in public places unless it's deemed harmful to the dog's wellbeing. A bulldog for example may have breathing difficulties. In that case, it wears one of those lampshade things.
For Andyhinch's mate who's getting a cheetah, it's not just the teeth that cause damage, it's the claws too. I'd suggest to him that it might be best to buy it some gloves to wear.

Staffs are pits, you'll find plenty of mongs to argue the opposite but take my word for it staffs are pits. Pits from northumberland (ironically enough) actually that predate the moniker staffordshire, they were brought down here by Nuttall and mated to a known terrier type in wigan...the offsprogs were eventually first registered in (you've guessed aint ya) Staffordshire and the district coupled with the breed type (a bull and a terrier) was how the line kopt it's kc name. Dr. in the isle man owns that first registered paperwork, turned down 5 figures for it in the late '80s, i digress...staffs are bred down pits, northumberland pits...pit dogs (the yank intervention just confuses matters)
Sometimes the trouble with dogs involves the people who aint even there, i sat in the garden once eating something with me dog at me feet, on the beg. Out of the corner of my eye i seen my young nephews leg swing back and boom he volleyed my dog in the rib cage (the dog did'nt move from staring down me grub)...i put me grub down and slung me nephew an open handed winger off the top of his head, whereupon he burst into tears as if the fourth bridge had hit him on the head and ran into the kitchen grassing me up to my Mrs. I kopt a mouthful from her and the nephew got a large kit kat out of it. I couldnt resist but ask if she had mentioned that the nephews parents had not been getting on and a parting of the ways may be on the cards and my Mrs asked me with a straight face if i was trying to imply the incident in the garden was tied into the nephews parents divorce....i assured her i wasnt because the incident in the garden was more likely to be tied into an a pelican crossing in alicante...i got demoted to the little bed for that one.
The staff type in northumberland could easilly have been fitting, a small dog with bad intentions can easilly take fingers off (spaniel types/honestly) and i've not read mention of serious enough injury to easilly explain an outright child biter...though obviously any damage to a child is too much. A smallish fit dog, say a parsons russell is absolutely capable of fast walking 20miles a day, every day for a ten stretch..they wont bite fuck all your honour exercised correctly, trouble is finding humans with that much energy. A loon asked me once how i'd trained me dog to retrieve a ball so incessantly with it not being a retriever coz he'd tried the game with his dog but it was a no go (an half bred english bull that looked to be devastated to have landed where it had)...i told him straight 'you've no chance'. He wanted to know why he had no chance and i was some kinda superbollox (kin hell)..so i told him 'you've got a 6yr old son that spits on and throws tins at your mrs in the supermarket and you, your mrs and your son all speak the same lingo...dog ball....not a prayer mucker'. He replied 'you're a fuckin weirdo you'.
Kid i used to train with bought a lovely looking pit (you know what i mean), he read me face when he told me he'd bought it, i told him to get shut, it would go for him...i got laughed at, it was a pup and i had'nt even seen it..dog had him by the kite before the end of it's 2nd year...the kid in question bounces about, try it, go to your friends and relatives houses bouncing about, swing your shoulders whilst your at it you might instigate some gym chat...won't go down well....did'nt go down well with the dog.

Would like to see something like this but I feel it would be difficult to police and scrotes would flout the rules at every turn.
If you cant handle a dog (give it training, regular exercise etc) then you shouldnt have one, doesnt matter what kind it is. Too many shit dog owners give the good ones a bad name and its generally the poor fucking dog that gets the blame.

Seems fair enough.
