The dog, as I have previously said, had its fate sealed when it attacked... it is surely every decent human beings duty to ensure that any "dispatch" of the dog is as quick and stress free as possible after all were it not for us "the superior race"
that dog would not have been in that situation and that child would still be alive. You may argue that the child's death was not quick nor pain free and not being at the incident I can not argue that point but the incident took place because of humans however you look at it (bad breeding, bad treatment of dog, allowing child unsupervised access etc etc - all human created situations)Beggars belief that such vicious comments are allowed on a "dog lovers" forum
I totally agree with you Benzmum - its the humans at fault not the dogs.

It could help I'm sure but I just see the loopholes that the honest person would not try to jump and another might. It would be costly for you all but it is well thought out and could really help so much.
I thought everyone will want to run a rescue that is trying to hide from the law but that is very well defined. Of course something like this would take years with more life lost but it's a great idea.

We don't know as yet, why the dog did what it did,we may never know but the comments to kill it with a knife etc are offensive,disgusting and totally out of order in my opinion.
It seems as though it was human error at fault,yet we want to take our revenge on an animal that felt the need to attack for whatever reason,when it was us,Man,that have possibly created the problem in the first place.
