A rottweiler kills a baby yet staffies get the bad press....

STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIERS OUT OF CONTROL















10:00 - 04 January 2008















After the Telegraph's reporting of the attack by three Staffordshire
Bull Terriers on a puppy out with its owner in People's Park, we hear
of the tragic mauling to death of a one-year-old baby by a Rottweiler
in another part of the country.

Of
the local incident, the police spokesperson apparently said no action
would be taken because it was a dog on dog attack.The report on the
attack on the baby resulted in the dog being put down and added that
while the Rottweiler breed is not among those banned under the
Dangerous Dogs Act, ' any' dog is subject to the legislation if deemed
out of control.

According to the Telegraph report on the
People's Park incident, the Staffordshire Bull Terriers were very much
out of control of both their owner and the man trying to protect his
puppy. All of which suggests to me that lack of police action seems
more about indolence than impotence - not dissimilar to the derisory
caution given to the bloke who threatened a shop owner with a baseball
bat before robbing him - and the Telegraph knows my views on that.

Comments: Staffies should
be banned - people only have them to look 'hard'! It's for nothing
other than status. These nasty creatures shouldn't be allowed as pets,
and these ones that did this to this poor little dog should be put
down. What if this was a little child that they had got hold of?

Comments: Staffies
and other status symbol (Bill Sykes) kind of dogs are generally okay
with people, but I know someone who thought it 'entertainment' when his
tough dog ripped into a cat or even another dog. Not every time, but
more often than not, these scrapping dogs are an extension of the
owner's personality. I say muzzle them.
