How many more times does this have to happen before people realise that its not the dogs that should be banned - ban irresponsible/unfit owners!!!

I have 3 staffie crosses where I live - 2 of them are rescue dogs and are so well controlled and beautifully trained that they are a pleasure to meet. The other one is owned by a brainless cretin who thinks its funny when his dog attacks other dogs :rolleyes:

Poor girl, I dont see how he has a pitbull cross, Aren't they illegal over here? :confused: I'm a bit clueless about the whole pitbull thing in the UK I have never met any, I saw a man on GMTV this morning with a rottie sticking up for the dogs, he mentioned about that lady with the labrador who had a face transplant and he was trying to get across its the owners fault and not the dogs.

I wouldn't trust any dog with a child no matter how much I trusted the dog people still need to realise they are animals and they can snap just like people. Surely if the dog was already on the dangerous dog list and has been warned about behaviour before it shouldn't of been in the same house let alone the same room as a child. It just seems like common sense and it really could of been prevented and that poor girl could still be alive.
