"Just been reading about the poor young girl killed by another dog I think it's time to ban all dogs as pets only working dogs ie police dogs search rescue and guide dogs I'd be more than happy." Hahahahahahaha! No. Ugh why? Yeah it's sad it is but it's not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. You could bring a dog up very well and it could still turn on you. They are animals we need to understand that. Banning all dogs as pets will solve absolutely nothing. It will change nothing. A police dog trained very well could also snap. Do you therfore ban all police dogs? | |||

"Just been reading about the poor young girl killed by another dog I think it's time to ban all dogs as pets only working dogs ie police dogs search rescue and guide dogs I'd be more than happy." Isn’t this a bit like banning a certain nationality because a few of them are in grooming gangs? We don’t protect kids on that basis so I don’t see how your idea has more merit. | |||

"I'd ban humans first " I totally agree but we can't so best to eradicate dogs as owners can't be trusted and the law is a ass. | |||

 . I wasn't convinced.
I think the attitude that dogs are friendly in every circumstance even the ones whose owners claim 'wouldnt hurt a fly' needs challenging hard rather than banning dogs altogether .
Don't get me started on the social media videos of babies and small children cuddled up to dogs | |||

"No it isn't but about an hour ago I was walking down the road mk ding my business when a muzzled pit bull type dog lunged at me growling. It was on a lead and it's human said "that's just his way of saying hello" . I wasn't convinced.

There is a thing called "Rottie Rumble" which is a sound rottweilers make. To those that don't know you would genuinely think it was a warning growl but it is an affection trait. They do of course have a normal growl too, which is used the same as any other breed. However in your case, yes the owner was likely doing it to brush it off what happened. | |||

"There's no such thing as a bad dog, just bad ownership.bullshit a dog will revert to natural instincts trained or not." But a decent owner will know how to mitigate the impact of that happening, and how to react if it happens. How do you think dogs were domesticated from the wild in the first place? They chose to enter people homes and adapt their behaviour? | |||

"Dog owners and hobbyists need to get a grip on this instead of washing their hands and saying "well I'm a good owner". Because if they don't then politicians will take over, and with enough tragedies and the right politician, a ban is exactly what we'll get." A total ban on dogs regardless of left, right, far left, far right would not go down well for whoever is pushing for it. Measures put in to place sure, but a ban would turn a lot of people toward another party and that is a political suicide no politician with intent to stay/have power is willing to go toward. But this is walking towards the realms of politics too much and diverting from the original topic. | |||

"I don't think we should ban the ownership of dogs, but I do believe everyone should require a licence to own one. If you're deemed unfit to own a dog, then your licence is taken away from you." I think this is the way. But like a driving licence, with training and specific obligations, not like a fishing licence. This is better for dog owners as well, since dangerous dogs/owners also maim/kill other dogs (disturbingly regularly, although it's reported on much less). | |||

Maybe even have different categories like a driving licence of what you're allowed. | |||

So many unsuitable parents too. Should we have assessments and a compulsory sterilisation programme to eliminate the issue | |||

No. It's the owners who are the problem. I think proper training and passing exams should be mandatory to being allowed to buy a dog. Obviously the idiots who get them for protection won't go down that route and the law abiding citizens will pay for it when the criminals won't. No easy solution but the dog isn't the issue. It's how they are trained. | |||

"Another comment to throw in the mix is people often seek out the pretty breeds or the kudos breeds or the ones that are the current Insta / Tik Tok trend Matching a dog to your lifestyle and routine is key Pick a dog that suits your lifestyle - that might not be the prettiest one If you don't have time for one, don't have one - ignoring or under stimulating a dog that needs exercise & stimulation is often a key to trouble Locking them away alone for hours is again asking for trouble with many breeds Remember, they are pack animals, they need company, being alone is often not good for them Just because you don't yell at them or beat them doesn't mean you aren't mistreating them If you prefer 'poo' mixed breed cos they don't shed, learn how to groom them &/or build in the costs of regular grooming - that ain't cheap Allow for pet insurance, vets bills, boarding fees when you go away, dog walker fees if you are out at work all day etc It all adds up " 💯 Some dogs need the edge knocking off them or they become troublesome Especially working breeds that the KC hasn’t fucked up and still hold their original integrity People often wonder why a dog trashed a house Walk it ,bike it or work it is the only way for some breed Deal with early aggression especially around feeding and food otherwise it will embed and embolden the dog for future confrontation where you might not be present but a child is If you can’t deal seek advice immediately | |||

This almost sounds like it's not based on any studies or facts, and is just your opinion... nope being brought up in farming I've seen some horrible things that they can and have done. I've seen some horrible things people do. We should ban them. We do ban bad people (from society)...we literally put them in prisons" Fair point! But what happens to the rest? We are lumping them all as one are we not? | |||

"Just been reading about the poor young girl killed by another dog I think it's time to ban all dogs as pets only working dogs ie police dogs search rescue and guide dogs I'd be more than happy. Hahahahahahaha! No. Ugh why? Yeah it's sad it is but it's not the first time this has happened and it won't be the last. You could bring a dog up very well and it could still turn on you. They are animals we need to understand that. Banning all dogs as pets will solve absolutely nothing. It will change nothing. A police dog trained very well could also snap. Do you therfore ban all police dogs?" Everything you have said points to dogs being unpredictable and dangerous. Indicating that they should not be kept as domestic pets. | |||

I'm not advocating for banning dogs...I don't believe animals can be bad...they can be vicious, but it's more about banning the breeding of certain dogs, which than are sold as pets- a chihuahua is technically more vicious than a pit bull, but the damage a pit bull or rottweiler or doberman can do, far exceeds the damage a small dog can do. I also don't believe in today's age and with the technology we have, the concept of relying on dogs for our protection is necessary | |||

"Why did the government get rid of the dog licence ? Dogs are not inheirently bad animals. Owners breed them or teach them to be." Because it was 7/6d and cost more to collect than it brought in. Simple economics | |||

"No. People need to be better dog owners sure. People need to be better parents and teach there kids not to approach dogs. I don’t know the story, if the dog was known to the girl or not. And it is very very sad. But banning dogs won’t solve the issue. I was once walking my dog, and she was behind me, I looked around and a small toddler had picked her up, dad to busy on his phone, luckily my dog is pretty chill but it could have been so different. And do you know who would have been blamed? The dog " Unless you actually have eyes in the back of your head, shouldn't your dog at least be in a position for you to see it? | |||

Dog off its lead will roam. That is what dogs do. | |||

"OP, for such a nonsensical statement, it has created quite a bit of debate but some of your come backs continue to be of similar vain. I for one, can't wait for this thread to close. Quite farcical really. Appropriate regulation for certain breeds and possibly sizes of dogs sure, extermination really? Shame on you." Similarly, many of the "pro-dog" comments in this thread have turned my stomach a bit, given the context was that a girl was killed. I'm not pro-ban but it's disturbing how many people think a dog and a child are of equivalent value, for example. | |||

Some people refer to their pets as their children, even if they have actual children. Some people value the lives of animals more than human beings. Some people have humanised animals and dehumanised people. | |||

But we should be able to seperate the tragedy from the rest. What happened and not just this time but all the times before is horrendous of course. I could not imagine both what the girl went through but also the pain of the family. | |||

"There’s a difference between banning all dogs as pets and letting dogs run around with no control. This thread is really pissing me off tbh, so I’m out before I say something I regret and get banned. " It is the sort of thread that definately pushes you to it (OP's intenyion). So you are right. I am out too and should never have been in | |||

How do we decide what is and isn't allowed in society? What is so dangerous that it should be banned, or restricted? You think one particular thing should be banned. How does that fit into a regulatory and risk structure that, say, allows people to inflict violence upon each other for sport, entertainment, and profit? (Just because boxing is legal, doesn't mean it's not violent). What are the benefits and risks, across a population, of pet ownership versus boxing (or alcohol, or cars, or whatever)? Are you trying to have a sensible discussion? Because sensible discussions involve an awareness of risks, benefits, cultural norms, acceptable risks, etc. "Ban dogs y/n" doesn't really allow for much nuance or understanding, and obviously inflames some emotions. | |||

"There's no such thing as a bad dog, just bad ownership." Complete tosh. So do you blame a murderers parents for what their kids do. A dog can be in trauma without an owner being aware, and something can trigger it to flip its lid without warning. Is that really the owners fault. Yes, there are some folk that shouldnt have dogs, like the wifes sister, who lets hers do as it pleases, but not all dog attacks are down to poor ownership | |||

"Just read about a man that forced himself on a woman. Let’s ban sex between men and women so it don’t happen again! FFS get real. " Better yet. Want to prevent the deaths of young girls? Being blunt, not bringing in external context, like the OP wants? Let's just ban men. (No, I'm not advocating that. This is an argument from absurdity) | |||
