You've said that if a neighbour's dog killed your cat in their own garden, you'd report it as dangerously out of control. Why is a dog, contained in the owner's own property, dangerous or out of control? If my dog wandered into your garden and your dog attacked it, would I be in the right to report your dog as dangerously out of control?

I dont think it would be taken seriously if you reported it as dangers dog in its own garden to be honest.
With regard *to it not being taken seriously. Any pet animal that attacks another irrespective of where it is or whose property its on, is considered an offence
There was the case of a Bullterrier kept outside while the owners were at work. The dog attacked & killed a domestic cat. Neighbours saw the dog dragging the body round the garden & reported it to relevant authorities.*
As it turned out the cat was a stray - owners left it behind when they moved & neighbours had been feeding it. As there was no owner it was decided no further action would be taken.*
The dog owner was visited and informed they had to keep the dog under control at all times.

on the subject of dogs.. in my experience they do not attack sick animals either,.
dogs do have a problem with 'instability ' though and fits fall into this category imo.

This is precisely WHY i didnt post in the original thread!
It is absolute nonsense to insinuate that showing was more important to me than peace in the household.
The dog in question who was aggressive i bought in at just over a year old as his breeder was selling him but only to someone she knew. We already had his litter brother. He did the same at tbe breeders as he did in our house.*
We didnt know he had that perculair habit until he was home & living in the house! Interestingly enough it was only his brother he would challange
This nit picking in threads when someone makes an innocent remark is unbelievable
Forums are meant to be where people can express their opinions not be put down for them! If we cant agree & there is no law that says we should, then we should have enough respect for each other to be able to disagree!
If a neighbours dog killed one of our cats i would be absolutely furious. I would report that dog to the dog warden as being dangerously out of control - there, that will give you something to take out of context as well!!
What if said cat was in the neighbours garden ?

Unpredictable happen in all walks of life, sometimes is just beyond folks control no matter how much they care and try to do right thing.
