I quite agree with Andrea, these figures should be published. I own a Rotti, he is 3 years old, ten stone and has been trained to be loving and gentle. Over the years I have had many breeds and can say he has been my best dog.
And I am fed up of people stopping me and saying he should be locked up and not allowed to run free on the forest.

5 children killed by dogs, 1 child killed every 10 days in the uk by their own parents, over 3000 children killed on the road every year! Surely this puts into perspective how dangerous dogs really are. I expect a similar number of children have been killed by bee stings!

Dogs are and have always been mans best friend, yes a badly brought up dog may possibly bite but the same goes for badly brought up children but there again I think you’ll find that statistics for injury and death caused by badly brought up children massively exceeds any trouble caused by dogs (and no I’m not for criminalizing teenagers despite the efforts of the media on this subject as well)

Lets just all use our own brains and stop behaving like sheep being rounded up by the media.

“Four children died as a result of incidents involving family dogs”

stupid question but which 4, of the children killed by dogs, were killed by family dogs?”
