Yup! And I don't know how things work there, but we don't 'make examples' of people in this country. The courts here are very fair and very objective. I can't imagine any reasonable British judge saying that I should have to stand by and watch my three pound dog being savaged to death and not do anything to try and save it. If anything, it may send out the message to dangerous dog owners once and for all, that their monstrous animals will not be tolerated and that there are consequences beyond the usual ridiculously unrealistic excuses of 'its just a poor, dumb animal'
And as of tomorrow, I'll be carrying a five inch wide studded belt with me when I walk my dog so woe betide any bull terrier that comes anywhere near us. My dog is not a pushover and neither am I |
