Bit of a rant here regarding the above law which I think was created back in 1871 and the reason for this I've just got back from my sisters after she had taken her 2 small and cute Cavalier King charles out for walk (on their leads) when some local Chav Skinhead appeared with his pitbull (not on a lead) as soon as it saw my sister's dogs it shot over before she could react and brutally attacked 1 of her dogs.
The injuries are pretty horrific as I rushed over to her place this afternoon to take the Dog to the Vets, which is now currently having emergency surgery.
Once back at her's called the police to report this guy and his dog but because apart from some scratching to my sister's hand their is nothing they can do and said it's a civil issue.
Now having seen the injuries if that was some kid it attacked and it probably will some day, the kid will be disfigured and seriously hurt and if the law allowed them to act now then that probability would be nil.
Scotland's gov. at least saw the issue with Kid's now going around with fighting dogs and changed their law last year to include dog on dog attacks and the offending dog would be removed and owner not allowed to keep dogs in the future, as they could also see those attacking dog's would also be involved with attacks on humans.
We have so many laws but at the end of the day useless, I did read in paper some guy due to a littering law got arrested for littering by letting the hair he'd brushed off of his dog go onto the ground in a park
CRAZY CRAZY World
