I won't be watching. No doubt it will be more scare mongering and targeting of certain breeds. Especially as the previews I just read follow dog wardens who "recount details of the horrific cases they encounter". Hear enough about these kind of things already without adding fuel to the fire.

It did say the documentary looks into whether irresponsible owners are the root cause behind these "devil dog attacks", but I'm just not very optimistic that it will focus enough on that point.

I think we need to watch it to be ahead of the game sort of thing, we can hear what the mindset is of dog wardens etc and know what is being put forward, i.e. ALL dogs muzzled etc. although of course the ones it is aimed at, won't bother anyway, will they, just like the chipping, we mugs will do it, have done it, but the nobs out there won't and never will.
Never stopped them breeding pit bull type dogs has it

Well I watched it and was appalled at the way the dogs were wrangled, most unprofessional and the poor dogs were totally stressed. No wonder one of them had been badly bitten in the past.

I too was concerned about the handling, I also have a funny feeling the 2 ridge back type dogs wernt rehomed, something tells me that was the end of the line for then.

Watched the program have to say was disgusted ,if that's the way most dog wardens operate ,god help the dogs in their areas
All they did was made situations worse stressing the dogs out
Can understand them removing the malnourished dog
Program with an agenda targated to certain breeds only

Watched one thing came across was the dog wardens were in the wrong job, another was how some people live ! Why do people think that's an acceptable way to live ???
