I rather liked the concept of a dog mauing in post 289 - perhaps it had been crossed with a cat.

Just remembered, few years ago a friend of mine had an Afghan.
Nice old dog, but scatty like most Afghans I spose.
He also had 2 kids, an adorable girl and a horrid little boy.
The horrid little boy used to hit the dog with a stick
One day the dog had enough and bit him, once
Put to sleep
As they say
"I blame the parents"

I think these are superb:

As an owner of a bull breed rescue dog, I'm strongly of the opinion that bull breeds very much get the short straw. These photos and the backstory capture this, I think.

I had one for 17 years and my ex had one for 14 years, they were both wonderful, funny, sweet natured dogs.

Still changing the subject.
Still in denial.
You seem unable to grasp that this is another story of an innocent person being killed by a supposed domestic 'pet'.
That you cannot bring yourself to admit that this is an issue is staggering.

Sorry, hate the picture of the dogs with flower headdresses. They're dogs for god's sake, treat them with some respect.
Mull, I agree it's bad when dogs kill people. (Do you really think anyone is saying it's not???) But on balance, I prefer the world with dogs rather than without. I guess the only way to stop dog related deaths would be to kill all dogs. But thats a bit strong don't you think?
And there are bigger battles to fight anyway:
1) Cars. Now they are REALLY dangerous.
2) Carbon. Lets have some serious carbon taxes please.
3) Don't get me started on big pharma.
etc etc etc.

Andrew, you at least are not in denial that there is an issue. Most in this thread won't admit there is. That's all I want. For dog lovers to pull back from the idiotic 'dogs can do no wrong' attitude. I do not especially dislike dogs. I'm pretty indifferent towards them. But I certainly wouldn't want them all killed.
Nope, sorry. Specious comparisons. The issue I'm addressing is dogs. Solve the above three examples and dogs will still be killing people too often.
Better regulation and stiffer penalties for 'bad' owners. That's what's needed.

Mull, my point is that there are only so many hours in the day, and that I'm going to prioritise what I try and fix; dogs are way down my list of issues to get upset about. I don't really understand why it is a specious comparison to flag issues that seem more important to me, based on the evidence.
But if you think dog killings are important enough to justify focusing on, then I don't mind if you manage to get bad owners locked up for longer. In fact I'd even approve. But I'd question your priorities.

Well let's put it this way. People have raised road deaths, murder, deaths from disease etc., as causing more deaths than dogs. No doubt true. But, apart from this not being a thread about about malaria, or murder, or road deaths, those things are all being addressed in some way or other. It seems to me that fatal dog attacks have become more frequent and that the issue is not being taken seriously enough. Possible more importantly, I believe that they are largely preventable by proper monitoring of ownership, backed up by stiffer penalties for irresponsible or malicious owners.
Some of the more childish responses on here bear me out I think.
As for priorities. It is all too easy to let the 'bigger' issues dominate whilst the 'smaller' ones continue quietly fulminating. It is always easy to dismiss one concern because another is 'bigger'. But I see that as also a very handy 'cop out' for those who wish to ignore that which is an inconvenient truth to them.
But also please understand. I don't spend every waking hour fretting about dogs, or anything else for that matter.

No, for every dog death you can fînd, I'll post a human inter species horrific murder.
You resurrected this thread, which was origally about dog vomit, so you're trolling anyway.
Hopefully you might understand one day. You need to let go of this obsession.
Mullardman

Of course you will. And for every human inter species horrific murder I'll post a death by disease or natural disaster.
Try very hard to understand. You are obsessed with denying the Dog Death issue and will persist in deflection and obfuscation rather than admit it exists. The difference between you and me is that I don't deny or belittle the other horrors in the world, but you deny that killings by dogs are an issue, even when confronted with the evidence. Ask yourself.. who has the problem here?
You were warned off by mods for this approach. I am NOT trolling. If you persist in calling me a troll, I will report your post to the mods.
I understand perfectly. It is not an obsession. It is a concern over a genuine issue which you seem to deny exists. Will you EVER admit that it is sheer idiocy for any society to allow PREVENTABLE deaths by attacks from UNECCESSARY animals? Indeed, will you ever admit that any deaths have been caused by dogs?

seems to be on the decline from last year. Hopefully that trend might continue.
23 deaths over 9 years obviously 23 too many, but maybe the new legislation will help.
Even in the C4 fact checker page they lazily talk about "pit bull type" dogs - they get caught up in the label without explaining what they really mean, or the high proportion of dogs in the UK that would be lazily referred to as "pit bull type" dogs. I presume Mull isn't singling out any particular type of dog.
