4 year old killed by dog

I think that's a bit like saying "4 year old killed by speeding driver so ban cars".

It's the person driving the car or owning the dog who's at fault and yes, there are far too many scumbags using them as status symbols but do you really think those are the type of folk who'd be queueing to buy a dog licence or who would be upset if the dog was destroyed?

Rubbish. My car won't kill a child if I leave it unnattended... um, only when I'm at the wheel :o

It's not whose at the wheel but what happens when you're not.
 
JustOne : Are you reading anything anyone is writing ??

Responsible dog owners dont leave Dogs with kids, unattended. Period.

You're more of a risk to kids in your area, when driving your car, than 99.99% of Dogs in that same area, as am I, and everyone else who drives a Car.

...and responsible gun owners don't walk into schools blasting the kids to bits HOWEVER when it happens you should be able (as a responsible owner) to accept that changes need to be made to stop even the ONE TIME from happening again... no?

The finger is not being pointed at you (but thanks for your comment) but at those less responsible and how to control THEM.
 
Its the owners fault not the dog. Yes certain breeds are inherently more agressive than others but when you get some wannabee ghetto boy on benefits (how can they afford a dog anyway) that winds the dog up and treats it cruelly to begin with, then the dog knows no better.

Its the same with joyriders that kill innocent pedestrians. They are underage (normally) sometimes high on drink or drugs and haven't been taught to control a car. Just as dangerous in my book
 
I’m sick of hosing dogs crap

I hate having to detour for a dog

I hate it when owners say it wont touch you…why would they say that.

I hate dogs pissing on my garden fence.

I seen a guy lately who had to jump a fence because of a dog.

I hated dogs chasing me when I had motorbikes

My mate had a dog and put it down when it went for a kid who came to his door, never a more placid a dog did you ever meet. It used to go round the golf course and sit quietly at every tee.

My work mate clapped a black lab when he was a youngster and it ripped open his hand. The owner said it’s never done that before.

Why should post men, my son in law, have to carry dog biscuits with him.

Why wont my sister in law, a post woman, refuse to post items at certain houses.

Why the f should I have to stand still in fear of a dog.

Why would I need to hit a dog that was running towards me on the head with a golf club not knowing if it was going to bite or lick me. Then having to deal with the police because the owner thought I was out of order. The owner said it wouldn’t have touched you……….I’ll wait and see eh.

Why should I have to call the authorities because the dog next door never stops barking when the owners go out.

I hate dogs with a vengeance. Don’t care about owners, because they don’t care. So make it as hard as possible for them to have them.
 
It is a very sad case (again) but if people will keep an aggressive animal in the house with young children who do not have the ability to defend themselves if anything does go wrong then they only have themselves to blame when another young life is lost.I hope the parents can live with themselves, I couldn't. :(

If you hit my dog with a golf club and you would have more than the police to worry about. Biggest pile of absolute *** shite I have ever read on here!

Dry your eyes.
 
100% agree with re-introducing a 'mobile animal' licence - dogs and cats. chip and dna test the lot of them.

use self-employed wardens to 'sample' the crap, then use the existing fouling laws. fines 50/50 between the warden and the council - lots of motivation to do the job and make a packet to offset council tax for the rest of us at the same time.

why cats - because they are not clean animals they foul everywhere but their own 'home'. and it stinks
 
Just a wee tad out of order there Craw. I wonder, when a German Shepherd comes running right at you barking you'll just freeze as were all supposed to do like good little boys. The owner was shouting at the dog to come back, not to tell me it's okay. These are all facts. Shite maybe in your mind, but facts. I’ll add another one, my good lady, when on a visit to a really good friend of mine in Aldershot was bitten on the face by his boxer. Split her lip right through and she’s still got the scar. Not made up, just facts. Would you like the above verified or will you come in with some more obscenities.

More than the police? Who, MI5? CIA?

I would use a club on a wild threatening beast.

And on the dog too.
 
I'll come back with anything you like.

And for the record I think the only thing out of order is you threatening to hit an animal with a golf club. Clearly shows you for the man you are.

Yep, a man who takes no crap from the owners of dumb animals.

And, by the way, you were the one threatening something worse than the police.
 
Blimey - a good old fashioned forum tear up and I'm not the culprit - best thing I've read on here for months. So good I even unblocked Tommo just to get the full picture. As Harry Hill says - FIGHT FIGHT

You are a scary person. I didn’t threaten to hit the dog, I hit the dog, flush on the head with my putter. The man that I am.

Tommo

That is just wrong.

A putter is no good. A sand wedge is a better option, although a lob wedge might be useful if you need to knock its head up higher faster.
