Dangerous Dogs

[Master]

Why would anyone want to keep a dangerous dog. With the latest death of Jade Anderson 14 years being ripped apart and killed by 5 dogs makes me wonder why anyone would keep them especially around children. They will introduce dogs being chipped and registered but that will not make a difference.

all dogs have teeth and can bite, (1 of the dogs was not involved) they acted as a pack once one would have started the attack, no one knows what triggered the attack.
She wasn't ripped apart. She was on their territory and clearly was not seen as above the alpha.

It doesn't look like they were kept in the best conditions, small house with 5 dogs.

I grew up round a staffie, lovely dog around people, would she bite someone? Yes if provoked.

There is 5 dogs in a small house, ALL DOGS CAN BE DANGEROUS , regardless of breed type
dogs have teeth they can bite simple. If your dog is a biter, put it down no if's or buts remember
one day it may bite you. As I have said bull breeds, ARE NOT, for ever one.
Some people will not admit, there dog is nasty in the end it turn on them, I have told many
people that there dog is a bad one, simple put it down they have ended up being badly
bitten.

As tragic as it is, the "owner" in this case was the real dangerous one. These are animals..not play toys, not gifts and as is far too common seen with this specific breed...not a short cut to revenue via breeding! You do not keep 5 Bull terriers, Mastiffs etc cooped up in a small home and basically leave an unfamiliar total stranger alone. Every single dog has potential to react aggressively if they feel territory, pack, is threatened. That extends to 'protecting' family members, cars, couches, food bowls. I cannot tell you how many people I have seen bitten when trying to take a pet from the arms of the owner or some newbie reaching into a kennel trying to leash a dog. Wonder what the history is on these dogs? Do you have a mandatory quarentine overthere in random bite cases?

Also, someone needs to boot that 15 yr old kid in the ass and tell him not everything needs to be on fookin Facebook.

Dog ownership is the same as gun ownership, same as car ownership, they can all kill if you arent level headed and take any of them for granted.

Too many chavs consider its their right to own instead of something they should earn the right to own.

Maybe an IQ combined with a stress test combined with a morals test for prospective owners is the answer,fail and you dont get the right to own any of them.

That last part might be a slippery slope mate. I could see that applied to the same mental midgets aka Chavs in regards to raising children

Then again you might be onto something

Define a "dangerous dog". A dog is not inherently dangerous, just because of its breed or even size.

In actual fact, the most aggressive dogs are the smallest ones. A Jack Russell or terrier type will bite ankles daily and nothing is done.

It's not the dogs at fault, it's the owners.

What happened recently was a terrible tragedy. But that shouldn't mean a cull of all dogs that won't fit in a hand bag.

Good post, man.

In almost all cases the owner is responsible. If you are a responsible owner then measures will be taken to ensure these kind if things cannot happen.

There is a big difference between being bit on the ankles by a Jack Russell and having a 12 stone Pit Bull launch itself at you. There is a lot of propaganda on both sides but the facts are not so easy to dismiss. Pitbulls and Staffordshire Bull Terriers are bred from Bulldogs for strength and terriers for gameness. They are working dogs that started life fighting bears and bulls before being bred to fight each other. Staffies seem to get a bad press often because owners are calling what is in fact a pitbull or crossed pitbull a staffie to prevent being prosecuted.

When studies conclude that 94% of attacks on children by Pitbulls are unprovoked compared to 42% in other breeds you can't pretend that breed has nothing to do with it. The fact is that there is a much higher risk of death when attacked by a dog descended from fighting stock than that of other breeds. Why take that risk when you have kids? Staffies are a lot more distantly related than pitbulls from the original fighting stock and like pitbulls are very loyal without being potentially dangerous but that danger is still there. It is also true that a lot of criminal irresponsible aggressive dipshits are attracted to the idea of owning such a breed and like any other dog they need care and training something those types of idiot are unlikely to give. It then makes it seem like even responsible owners are looking after a potential time bomb.

There is such a thing as a dangerous dog, and ironically owning one when you have kids is unlikely to protect them, because they often like people, and are not ideal to be trained as attack or guard dogs. They are descended from fighting dogs though, and their unpredictability and propensity and inbred ability to inflict major damage and even kill does expose anyone in their vicinity to more danger. Most dangerous dog attacks are suffered by friends or members of the owners family,not strangers.

It all depends on the owner 99% of the time. You treat your dog with care give it a good life and you'll have a loving, friendly dog you need not worry about. You give your dog a shitty life and make it aggressive then your more to blame than the poor dog if something does happen.

Lots of people should be allowed to have dog's that's something that needs to be dealt with not 'dangerous dogs'.

You have a good point. I remember having a paper round when I was younger where there was a little terrier which always tried to bite me through the letterbox and it often ripped up the newspapers. It was as it it was always waiting for me haha :P
