Dangerous Dogs

56 previous convictions, also attacked another person 4 days earlier

Bizarre stuff here you’d almost only find it on TFK

He’s conflating two entirely different cases for whatever reason

He seems to do that a lot.Those 2 fuckers should have got 10 years.

It’s an odd one. Their crime was allowing an unlicensed dog to be off a leash. If that’s the case, most every county in Ireland would have thousands of farmers and other types jailed.
They, as the judge admitted, are being sentenced to two years in jail entirely to make an example of them.
The consequence of their actions is horrific, absolutely.
Yet paying for the rape and torture of children apparently needs no such discouragement.
I’ve often wondered about the justice in punishing the outcome of an action rather than the action itself, in general. The negligence of these two definitely warrants a severe sentence, but two years just to make an example? You’ve lads kicking the head off people won’t see any jail time.
I think the state is culpable as those dogs should be banned anyway.

And inhumanely killing the dog then

Seven years max I think for endangerment, and you would probably have to have a fatality involved before you’d reach that, although that poor young fella was all but killed

I think you need to stop thinking that the Allen child porn case is the common denominator for every other crime committed and should be compared against it

You’d have burned a few witches back in the day.

That’s like describing slavery as a dead end job. It doesn’t quite capture what’s really happening

A dog on the restricted breed list, nothing to do with licensing. Dogs on this list must be leashed and muzzled in a public place and under the control of a person over 16 years old.

Plenty more should be added to this list and far more regulation generally of dogs is required.

Enforcement is required.

Some regulations seems vague to me. For example, effective control is what a lot of councils require.

All dogs should be on a lead in any public place outside of dog parks.

Dog parks can be funded by dog owners directly.

We are a great country to legislate, take the brownie point for legislating but we put absolutely no resources into enforcement. This is across the board from traffic/penalty points to environmental measures.
Major and unsavoury measures are required in the control of dogs regardless of breed.
Any dog straying should be pounded. If not chipped they should be euthanized within a week.
If chipped they owners should be fined for the dog not being under control.
Breeders need tighter controls and inspection. Anyone advertising pups for sale should get a knock on the door and be inspected.

I don’t agree with that, maybe I do but I wouldn’t do that to my own dogs

They need to run free when it’s safe to do so

It used to be German shepherds, then rottweilers, then Staffordshire bull terriers, then pitbulls, now its xl bullies. I’d say it’s damn all to do with the breed and everything to do with the owners. The more notoriety a breed has, then the more likely it is to be owned by an absolute scrote.

I heard a dog expert lady on the radio a while back who outlined that XL bulldogs are basically crosses between bull types and larger guard type dogs for size. I may not remember how she put it exactly but she said that the guard type traits in them mean they are much more easily set off than other bull types and they bull traits mean that once they are set off they won’t stop attacking or let go of whatever they’ve gone for (or maybe those traits are the other way around). Basically they’re bad mix of inherited characteristics and then the sheer size and power of them means they’re unstoppable if they attack.
