Dangerous dogs under attack

Following the attack on a 6 year old girl by a Staffordshire bull terrier last week which is likely to have left the young girl maimed for life, further calls have been heard for a reform to the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.

Hospital admissions for members of the public suffering bite injuries have increased over 100% over the last 5 years.

In our opinion there should be more action from local Police forces to crack down on anti-social behaviour as any legislation to control dogs such as micro-chipping and dog licences, will not target the people and the dogs that are responsible for the majority of these attacks.
