Pet owners call for action against owners of threatening dogs

POLICE are compiling a dossier on a couple whose dogs are thought to be responsible for a series of savage attacks on other animals in Hendon.

Officers are working with specialist dog teams and the RSPCA to gather evidence on the alleged irresponsible handling of a family of Japanese akitas.

Frightened neighbours living close to Sunny Hill Park have reported seeing the large breed dogs regularly running unmuzzled and off a lead having apparently escaped from their owner's back garden.

Up to four of the dogs are believed to have hunted and killed a cat, and wounded two dogs in the park during an attack last month.

Kim Brown, of Rowsley Avenue, claimed it was her eight-year-old cat Mylo that was killed in the park, and called for action to be taken against the owners of the dogs.

Did you notice they are kennel club licensed akita breeders ..

Disgusting...Great example for the breed..

The Kennel club removing them off the AB list will have no impact as to wether this kennel keep control of their dogs IMO, its up to the local council to remove any breeding licence they have given to the kennel, and if the kennel are producing more litters/or own more dogs than that council allow, should be taking action, of course just based on the fact the kennel are allowing their dogs to roam should be enough for the KC to also strike the kennel off its AB list too.

Not sure of the relevance of that?

The KC has no control over how people exercise and keep their dogs.

Although it does say in the article, they have been informed and will look into removing their registration.


Lets hope they are held accountable for their actions, large powerful dogs (well ll dogs ) should be under control of their owners.. at all times!!
