In the news

Well that’s stupid.

Absolutely crackers

I probably don't know enough to give a properly formed opinion, but the current law strikes me as a pretty vibes based bit of legislation so on principle I don't have an issue with it's repeal. However, that link doesn't give any details on the proposed alternative or how you then control for an influx of breaders (responsible or irresponsible) from flooding the market to owners (clueless or cunts).

Basic Googling shows that dog bites come from a range of dogs. For e.g these figs compiled by an insurance company from Merseyside Police.

1. Jack Russell
   
2. Staffordshire Bull Terrier
   
3. Pitt Bull Terrier
   
4. German Shepherd
   
5. Rottweiler
   
   

The wiki page on deaths unsurprisingly shows that the dogs that kill humans tend to be powerful dogs originally bread for fucking livings things up.

... so I guess I return to my original point that I doubt many owners can control a powerful dog on a mission. So I'd also be inclined to licence certain dogs based on some sort of weight and power formula.

Anyone that puts there oar in with that bunch of mutant breeding fucks deserves the boot.
