Animal control officers
♦ training for Animal Control officers
♦ funding for Animal Control so they have the staffing to follow up on complaints

theres the link to the This morning story they can't spell terriers right and they do an article about dangerous staffys and have a picture of a Rotti, that coupled with the ridiculous statements on the actual interview...is it any wonder the general public get hysterical about breeds
