"Laura [neighbour and witness] is an animal-lover, and says she's "not an XL hater", but yesterday's incident made her wary of the dog that carried out the attack. She said: "I love animals of all kinds. But that dog is a monster. This isn't the first time it's attacked".

We dont care as long as the dogs are destroyed.
No, the people who warped and mistreated the dogs deserve to be destroyed and removed from society.
In their 'natural' state, they are no more dangerous than any other dog.
Yes the dogs deserve to be destroyed and removed too, as they are dangerous to civilians and society.
Natural state... I.E a made up state to identify how the perfect dog would be, completely void of the reality of life, environments and more.
What they deserved was to be raised properly and given a decent home, not twisted into the status dog ideal.
Natural, as in not inbred, pumped full of steroids and mistreated to make them appealing to *****.
I'm defending nothing. I'm shifting focus to the cause.
They bred to be that exact reason FFS, how clueless are you?
Well then the breed would not exist as guess what, its far from natural.
Pathetic excuse to try to justify your words.
If they were bred like that, they'd not need the steroids, the fight training or the mistreatment.
It wasn't their choice, so it's not their fault, and thus they do not 'deserve' your blinkered genocide.
So you agree this isn't their natural state.
I have consistently pointed out that you're trying to treat a symptom and not the cause.
Which is what? Keep banning dog breeds and utterly ignoring what people do to make them dangerous in the first place?
If something was genetically created to be a monster, who give a **** what it's feelings are, it does not belong in a civilised society.
You are not going to tackle the cause of anti social humans, how many times have we got to tell you hiring rappers to sing about being peaceful, does not work.
Keep banning dangerous breeds that have been created for its violent and aggressive traits.
Thank-you Victor Frankenstein...
If you can get millions of people to stand outside their houses and clap like seals every Thursday, you can tackle this.
And they'll keep making new ones...
No, you have to remove their reasons for behaving like this in the first place. Right now money is the biggest driver for breeders, and clearly buyers don't care about a breed being banned as evidenced by the number of Pit Bulls newly registered every year, as well as the unregistered ones we keep finding.
Incorrect, it has been bred in this manner to be dangerous and aggressive, its very clear.
Completely different situations, to even compare them show's you dont have the ability to tackle this.
And the genetic monsters will be banned and destroyed, as appropriately so.
All I see is excuses for them to be scum bags.
It was already established earlier in the thread, with quoted articles from experts explaining the different bloodlines.
Whoever said I was going to tackle it?
It shows societal response to social persuasion.
Not before a good number of people die, which is what I'd think you want to prevent, no?
And that's a very blinkered view.
And how has that worked for things like guns, drugs or knives, mmm?
All I see is excuses for justifying genetic changes to allow for violence and aggression.
Well you have offered numerous ways to tackle it, argued with numerous posters about your tactics to tackle it.
I am not going in to this here as you are trying to drag all of this off topic now.
You have shared your views of a lower society causing these problems numerous times in this thread.
Non comparable, but again keep reaching to the bottom of the barrel for a response.
Then you're just not looking.
Legislation hasn't stopped illegal breeding before, so why would it now?
I offered talking points to start the ball rolling. This is not something a single person will change.
It's still on topic - Societal response to social persuasion. The majority of status dogs are little more than a fashion trend in essence. You really don't think someone can influence fashion??
Actually, it's because you're NOT taking aim at these people. Your approach is to let them carry on being scumbags, and ban anything they mis-use until the rest of us innocents have nothing.
I'd rather you didn't respond, actually, but never mind. I know you will.
Dogs taught by people to kill, do kill people. In almost every single incident there is a human who's done something that prompted that dog to kill.
