Ellal is just being a queen as usual. He's got nothing better to do while he waits for Brexit.
Hey Ellal. How many people are stabbed each year in drug gang killings and maimings by certain people? More than 4? What do we do about them?

You'd trust your 3 year old to cross the road?Ours had road sense by 3...
So I guess it's how intelligent the parent is and how they teach the concept
However it is easier because you can teach that all cars are a danger, but you would have to be psychic to work out which dog was about to lunge...
Therefore you have to say that any dog is a danger...
So why do we have to restrict children in their behaviour in case a dog might attack?
Those who think that should be the case place an over importance to their pets against the rights of people not to be attacked!
A dog saying hello to a child, even jumping up is no danger - certainly not maulling.
I think also that you will find that most dogs have no interest in random children they do not know, with the exception of the odd excitable puppy who wants to say hello to everyone. Nearly all the bites and deaths from dogs are done by the family dog or by neighbour dogs. Dogs known to them anyway. To react the way you are about all dogs being dangerous and wanting to ban them all really shows a lack of understanding.
Dog owners have a responsibility to neuter and to train them into loving, obedient creatures. And parents, esp those parents who are nervous about dogs, should also teach their child how to respect a dog, even if that means keep away.

As usual you didn't read it properly...
I said they had road sense, and that's a different thing...
Why the hell should anyone, let alone a small child, have to put up with a dog jumping up at them?
But I guess you're one of the "it's only being friendly" lot
However you yourself said "Young children have no understanding of a dog and how to treat them, therefore increasing the chance of a bite when things go wrong"
How do expect a child to react when a strange dog leaps up at them?
(don't forget a child is a lot closer to the ground than you are)
It is you that 'shows a lack of understanding' because you believe a parent is to blame if a child hasn't been prepared for a random encounter with a potentially dangerous animal...
How exactly does one do that, given that you claim the problem also lies with the dog's owner?
How do we tell if they have trained their mutt well or not?
Even though that is no guarantee that the dog won't turn on anyone given certain circumstances...
You appear to have your priorities all wrong!

All along I have said that nearly all problems regarding dogs can be solved with proper training. This is why guide dogs don't bite, jump, pull etc. If it's their nature to jump, bite, attack whatever, why is it that guide dogs don't? I'll give you a clue, starts with a 'T' and ends in an 'ing'.
So how many times has your child been jumped over by a dog you do not know, while walking in the street? Was your child hurt? Isn't it funny, you've gone from arguing about 'Mauling and disfigured' to a dog jumping and causing no harm. Grasping at straws..
I don't think logic, reason or even listening to another view is on your agenda. You don't like dogs, you don't understand dogs - wasting my time talking to you is very clear.

Don't take the ****.
I hate dogs.
They are (nearly all) ugly, dirty, smelly, noisy, clumsy, over-excited stupid mutants.

Dirty and smelly? Our one has a bath every night and extra ones if she comes across anything bath-like when she’s out!

Got two rescue dogs last year, they need a lot of attention (bit like Notchy,Lala & Kinkytrot) so decided to stop working. Best thing I did (apart from wife & kids).
Have they rescued anything lately? Injured climbers on Chigley Mountain?
Would that be because ... ?

I could picture your cat rubbing it's nose with the squirrel. All the birds
singing. The worms dancing the nector flowing.
Happy Garden the movie..
