Alot of what you said in this article is exactly the same as what ive been saying for years!
The media targets certain breeds, or at the moment species (currently foxes) and causes a vendetta against them. If all of the ‘dangerous’ breeds of dogs were banned, every breed that people dont like then all we would find is that the papers would be filled with reports of labs biting people.
These dogs are named as ‘child killers’ but thats rediculous, any dog has the potential to do that damage to a child, thats why you use your common sense and dont leave ANY dog alone with a kid. My parents own a pomeranian cross but we still dont leave him alone with my 3 year old nephew.

What you said about the breeding is true as well, these dogs were bred to be brilliant with people, you cant use a dog for fighting if you cant get near it in the first place. I have personally worked with these ‘dangerous’ breeds including pitbulls and i can honestly say that none of them have shown any signs of aggression at all, they are just eager to please and extremely affectionate and some of these have come from abusive or fighting backgrounds.

Just one other thing that id like to add is that people think that dogs are completely tame but thats anything but true, ive worked with wolves and can honestly say that dogs are exactly the same as them, their not as openly expressive but they still have all of the instincts a wolf has, including the prey instinct, it doesnt take alot for something to bring out, and people should remember that.

At the end of the day the problem isnt the dogs, we bred them to be like this, people should stand up and take responsibility for what they have done.
You want to see the thing that is ‘dangerous’ then just have a look at the person that holding the end of the leash!

My dog, a rescue English Mastiff, was attacked by one of these ‘dangerous dogs’ a few days ago. The young owner stood smugly watching while it tore into my soft natured boy. With an owner like that it doesn’t make one bit of difference what breed is banned, this dog had obviously been encouraged and trained by his owner to be extremely dog aggressive.

We meet lots of bull breeds in my local park everyday which my dogs enjoy playing with, all lovely dogs, all owned by responsible people. To make a change it is the bad owners who need to be targeted not the dogs. If the dogs are simply taken from these youths they’ll just go out buy another and train it to be the same way. Trying to eliminate a breed also won’t work, banning a type of dog draws thugs to the breed. Even if they were to succeed in making pitbull types extinct these type of people would simply move on to another breed. A dog, it doesn’t matter which breed, is what the owner makes it. These irresponsible young lads are the problem, it is they that need to be targeted not the dogs.

Thankfully my dog survived his ordeal, had he been a small dog he wouldn’t have stood a chance. To add insult to injury, my poor dogs have gone without their park walks for the last few days all because I feel too scared knowing there’s a high chance of this happening again. The problem is getting worse not better. Something has to be done about these ‘type of people’.

Surely the author of this article has mispelled the Sgt’s name and it is not Sgt Benham but in fact Sgt Bilko!

Great news that a person with such a bizarre outlook on dogs has been posted to the Met Police, like they need another anti-dog copper driving around the capital! Soon he will have his MP5 machine pistol and he can go round shooting the dogs in the street, after all from the number of dogs shot on the streets of London by the Met Police they must surely have a shoot to kill policy regarding dogs that are ‘kicking off’
