Judge dogs on deeds, not breeds, say anti-ban vets
Banning more types of dogs will not help to reduce attacks because it is not clear which breeds are responsible, say veterinarians.
And they should know... they are vets for god sakes... prime minister helen isn't a vet so i'm not sure why her words weight more that a professionals words. The media.. always looking for a sound bit!
(...)
But Pieter Verhoek, president of the Companion Animal Society, an association of vets who care for household pets, says there is no need for additional legislation.
"I don't think adding dog breeds to the restricted list would help. The laws are already in place, they just need to be utilised properly. Dogs should be judged on deeds, not breeds.
Hey I just said that..!!
(...)
Instead of restricting dog breeds further, Mr Verhoek believes that education is the key to reducing dog attacks. Children need to be taught how to approach dogs and how to respond to dangerous situations.
Hey, and I said that too! It's great to know that your opinion is worthy :)
