[–] li10@feddit.uk 129 points 2 years ago (91 children) If my dogs ever tried to kill me, I’d just pin them both down. That’s the benefit of not having insanely powerful dogs. IMO you shouldn’t have a dog that you can’t physically restrain. Any dog can snap and you need to be able to physically stop them if that happens. permalink fedilink source hideshow 91 child comments load more comments (91 replies)

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago (1 child) If she was unable to control them, she should not have gotten permission to own them in the first place. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 61 points 2 years ago (4 children) Definitely think owning dogs should require a license and a test of some sort like driving a vehicle. Can't control a 120lb dog? Class B license instead of Class A license. Only allowed to buy dogs under 100lbs. Don't understand how feeding and training works? No license for you. Licenses for being able to own non-fixed animals as well. Being able to breed dogs and cats needs to come with way more responsibility as well. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 5 child comments replies: [–] ikidd@lemmy.world 36 points 2 years ago (20 children) Now do kids. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 20 child comments load more comments (20 replies) load more comments (3 replies)

[–] slaacaa@lemmy.world 28 points 2 years ago (3 children) Very sorry for the life of this lady. Shitbulls should be banned. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] then_three_more@lemmy.world 41 points 2 years ago (1 child) From the article From 1 February, it became a criminal offence to own the XL bully breed in England and Wales without an exemption certificate. Anyone who owns one of the dogs must have had the animal neutered, have it microchipped and keep it muzzled and on a lead in public, among other restrictions. So I'm guessing she got them before they were banned and had an exception so she didn't have to have them destroyed. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 45 points 2 years ago (1 child) Or didn't and simply flouted the law. There's a stereotype of people who own those breed(s) for a reason. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] keesrif@lemmy.world 23 points 2 years ago (2 children) The article did mention them as "registered", so I don't think this applies. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments load more comments (2 replies) load more comments (2 replies)
