As it has now been confirmed that the do was an illlegal breed IMO the owner should be charged with murder or at the very least manslaughter

Agreed. Owner should be charged and locked up.

I'll go along with that. Maybe another good reason for a licence as the breed would be checked and logged.

Hi,
I have read this thread with a lot of interest, the only problem with saying that each dog should have a licence is that there are so many diffrent breeds that have now been cross bred with others to make/try and get round all the rules.
If the Police get the report of a banned breed then a lot of the time the owner will argue the fact (and get help from some high profile people) that the dog is not of the banned breed . It is then down to experts to argue the fact in court in regards to what the dog is/isn't. This can go on for months/years and it all costs a shed load of money.
I do not believe that the banned/dangerous dogs should be in the country, but I have no idea what the answer is in regards to keeping check of them.
Sorry to go in.
