Out of control dogs/dog attacks

Dogs that are bred to kill. Handguns would be more controllable.

Obviously, they should be banned.
 
Without really checking the news I thought this included the American Bulldog which is a lovely dog. The XL bullies I've struggled with myself. My friend has got a really nice one, but you can't help but be nervous around it due to the possibility of them switching quickly. Obviously all dogs are capable of that quick snap, but some more easily than others.
 
I don't care which side you're on when it comes to XL dogs, but this photo scares the feck out of me.

Says it all when someone who is doing her very best to portray these dogs as completely harmless lets this slip…



How would a 60+kg try to “protect” someone, I wonder?
Yep, the owner says she doesn't see anything wrong but she clearly doesn't see much of anything. The bit about how the dog just licks the baby's face all of the time annoyed me. FFS, the first result on Google for this behaviour is from the American Kennel Club...

Dogs may lick a baby’s face for a variety of reasons. It may be trying to play with the baby, or, it could be trying to assert its dominance over the child. Either way, this behavior should not be allowed for health and safety reasons.

Therein lies the issue and with a lot of other dogs as well. You have centuries of breeding dogs for specific purposes and then in the relative recent past the sudden change to house pet and a life of minimal exercise and stimulation for most.

The ironic thing is the best dogs for pets are the cheapest and most common, people literally just buy dogs now for their looks and then wonder why their Weimaraner is ripping up the sofas because he’s not tired after a 30min walk in the park or why their collie nips kids’ heels.
 
Ever notice how owners of these kinds of dogs always say “oh they’re sooo adorable and sweet” and then you look at them and they look like literal demons dredged up from the pits of hell.

Gun dogs like setters, pointers and weimaraners do need lots of exercise but they are about as safe as dogs get, have lovely personalities and get fat fecks like me off their arses for a couple of hours a day. Everyone should have a Gundog.

What is this personal space that you speak of?

Irish Red and White Setter ….nice
 
They are lovely. We have love both of our lunatics.
If they’re anything like Irish red setters, they are indeed handsome but bonkers!

We have German Shorthaired Pointers ….lovable, nuts and require a lot of handling.

A bit less insane than Red Setters but only slightly. Lovely dogs who love you unconditionally.

Gundogs are in general gorgeous.

They are indeed lovely.

We treat our GSP’s like family, very much loved and they do as they like!
 
I actually find dogs incredibly annoying and want them to be properly regulated. Too many owners in parks like me act like they’re a completely safe and loving animal - they all need to be on leads and owners should be made to look after them properly. The amount of dogs of any breed that come and jump around my baby does my head in.

My setters love babies. They taste awesome.

To lick, not eat.

I would never let my dogs interact with kids/babies without parental permission

When the ban comes in place, instead of putting all living Bullies down, why not make it mandatory to de-teeth all existing ones still in the country Whilst it may be seen as cruel and a tad extreme, it's still far more kinder than ending their lives abruptly.

The banning whilst an unfortunate necessity, it does not tackle the real deep rooted issues of like so many men who own these dogs doing so because of a real insecurity of their masculinity

Great taste. My favourite breed by far.

Most owners of these dogs are from chavvy council estates dressed worse than Ali G

I also agree, the dog looks hideous, just a muscle bound bulk of destruction waiting to destroy.

I’m a dog person so far as I’ve had dogs when I was younger, and wouldn’t mind another dog eventually in the future when I’m in a position I have the time too properly look after one. But I never got the deal with these XL bullies, horrid looking things.

The amount of feral children of any breed that come and jump around my fox red lab does my head in.
 
Thought I was in the police thread for a minute.

Raising and maintaining disciplined dogs even in the most friendly breeds is well beyond the ability or care of most owners. Kind of a useless idea but what do we think of requiring say 30 hours of training and a certification before getting a license to own particular breeds? Forget how well it would be received - would it help reduce incidents?

Alternatively if you don't like preventive measures how about stronger punitive ones. More serious criminal and financial sentence for when it goes wrong.
 
What if we humans are the virus?
Right? The clue is right there in the expression - the human catches the virus, rather than the other way round!

Poor Covid was minding it's own business till humans got involved - caught it, built sub standard clones of it, messed up it's gene pool, and alas, the confused sod can't make up it's mind on which variant it wants to be. :(
 
Change the fecking laws, banning breeds isn't going to do shit. Case in point this breed popping up from nowhere, they'll eventually be another one.

9/10 it's the cnut who owns the dog that's the problem. Every owner should need a license and be vetted in some manner.

With this breed plenty of owners have been killed that have been taking care of the dogs. Usually dogs can attack someone vulnerable if off a leash, these dogs can turn on their owner on a leash while being fed and looked after, they overpower and don't like to be restrained. It seems like the dogs need very specialized upbringing and training that is not practical. No amount of licenses and vetting would've stopped these owners being killed by their own XL Bully dog.

@horsechoker was right. Humans are a virus. Especially to our own planet and anything else that is unfortunate enough to live on it while we are here.
 
The video of what happened yesterday online and it's a rough watch. There are 2 neighbours trying to get the dogs off the man by hitting them with planks of wood and ramming them with a wheely bin. The dogs are completely unphased and continue attacking.
 
there should be a more detailed list of dog breeds that require mandatory enrollment in dog training schools .
 
Just seen the footage of Ian Price. Jesus. But yeah tell me that chihuahuas and Jack Russells bite as well :rolleyes:
