Why does quoting the UK Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 attract disapproval every time?
I know some people that own dogs like Staffies, pit-bulls and rotties, and though they are generally good and nice people and good dog-owners and act responsibly, they seem to hate it when you mention some of the recent incidents regarding those types of dogs. It’s as if it’s a personal attack on themselves whenever people call for banning due to the odd irresponsible dog owner allowing his dog to attack a child or something. Perhaps people will take things to heart though. Whenever anything gets aimed at in the media, such as smoking, drinking, use of cannabis etc etc, people always get ‘uppity’ and tend to take it as a personal attack on their civil rights to do what they want. The law seems to be in strict black and white, and it doesn’t allow for ‘sensible’ actions by ‘responsible people.
