Oh my god this is terrifying...in one breath they are saying its the owners then the next its the dog....and that bit about Ontario...huge fall in dog related injuries from banned bull breeds inc STB...has lead to all bull types dying out!!! AND this quote has made me feel very uncomfortable for my Bud!!

QUOTE: Serious penalties will make dog owners think twice, but surely it is time for us to look to our Commonwealth cousins and find a way gently to phase out the canine weapons that terrorise the streets of Peckham, Toxteth and Moss Side.

Dito Bud, this article gives me a very sickening feeling deep in my stomach for my Cooper. Any dog in the wrong hands whatever the breed can cause serious injuries.

When I take Cooper out I often come across an initial negative attitude on his appearance alone, only yesterday a French lady asked me if he was a guard dog, she was very shocked when I said no he is a much loved family pet!!

However Cooper quickly wins everybody round and now has a string of admirers in each place we walk in.

If this ignorant politician gets his way my beautiful boy is guilty on looks alone, would this be tolorated if he was human?

@ Josta I get the same reaction from some people with Zack, including his vet Shocked

but like Cooper people come to like him.
Look at it this way, every person you meet that gets to like Cooper is one more person with a different outlook than before you met them Smile

''forcing people to cross the road'' How do they do that , do they have lolipops like School crossing guards ? The ignorance of some people still amazes me.

It's The Times - what do you expect? The only difference between The Times and The Sun now is the pictures.

I tried to find out which cars caused the most accidents but in fact it's very difficult to get hold of information like that and I never really got a make and type. However, it's safe to say that by banning men below the age of 23 from driving you'd drastically reduce road accidents... so I guess by the logic of DDA no man under 23 should be allowed to drive and anyone with sons of that age should be prosecuted... whether they drive or not... just in case...

Be fair Xristine, i'm sure some of them would be fine if they were muzzled in public and given a grotesque tattoo that looks like it was done by a four year old with a crayon. Confused

Any prejudice is unacceptable. I guess because it is just that - it's without sense or proof - it's just there because people can't be bothered to think rationally.

I think it was Bruce Fogle who once remarked that when pitbulls were outlawed in one of the states, all that happened was undesirable types started getting hold of Rotties instead and behaving in exactly the same way with them! In other words a ban doesn't solve the problem which is a human problem not a dog one.

Just need to let you know that all though me and Bud didn’t force someone to cross the road, it seems we did make an impression....while walking out the field and on to the pavement, a lady walking her "fluffy" (some tidily little dog that I have no idea what it was) actually picked it up and put it above her head and literally tip toed past us..........sorry but I LOL big time!!!

Heehee they do make you laugh, yesterday a lady was walking her 3 bichon frise and a chiuaua, the chiuaua ran across the park barking at Cooper. The poor owner was screaming frantically at her dog with a strong hint of hysteria in her voice trying to get the dog back, the dog took no notice and kept coming at Cooper.

Cooper however was not going to give this dog the time of day and did not even look at it but dutifully followed me!!

Those are the moments I treasure Smile
