to prison for a bit. only one reason dogs like that is often due to the way owners treats it.

[Brentwood]

It can't just be down to how the owners treat it can it?

Speaking of the midlands, saw Dead Man's Shoes again last night. It's a genuinely brilliant filum, that.

I bet I have far more experience of the issues keeping dogs as pets cause than you.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

there are always a few bad apples, but the majority of dangerous or misbehaving dogs are down to bad ownership. If you don't properly train your dog (or train the wrong things in to the dog), if you don't exercise your dog, if you mis-treat your dog, this can lead to problems with control of the animal further down the line.

If you do things properly there should be very little reason to fear your dog turning into a vicious/badly behaved animal

We should license and microchip those f**kers as well

[redgunamo]

Or send them all to Guantanamo Bay?

FYI I've have/had/been involved with dogs for most of my life. I've rescued a few, trust me it is all about how they are owned and treated.

and deals with kids. She and her peers reckon that the difference between training dogs and brining up children is far more similar than most people would admit to.

[redgunamo]

It's nonsense anyway; good dogs are a rare and valuable resource, whereas children may be obtained for free from countless charitable organisations.

it's been trained / how placid it has previously been.

I have no issue with working dogs and I don't think pet dogs should just be culled. I do think that there needs to be far tighter restrictions on them, however.

Sat it down at the dinner table every night, played cards with it, then one day it went mental and ripped her best mate's face off. Animals are unpredictable and should only be kept in zoos

They just kind of stare at you in a passive "I could totally f**k you up" way.

Far worse than the big cats that prowl around looking outwardly mean.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

Majority of dogs are very predictable, if they have been trained and looked after well.

Horrible beasts!
