"A 76-year-old woman and an 18-year-old man have been arrested on suspicion of being in charge of a dog dangerously out of control. They both remain in custody while enquiries continue, police added.

The dog was seized and destroyed."

 

Taken from a UK newspaper today. The dog in question (an XL Bully) attacked a baby, who is in serious condition in hospital. No question about finding a new owner for the dog, no question about the new owner taking the dog to the local church to apologise - just arrest the owners who will probably have to face charges in court, and immediately put the dog down - job done!

   Bring the dog back to life and kill it again ?

So what is your issue about this situation that gives you reason to post as you have?

Is it the apparent disparity in age of persons responsible for being in charge as stated or ?

Given the bare bones account you have offered IMHO he demise of the  dog is incidental to the damage inflicted on an infant!

My issue is that too many people in Thailand are attacked and/or killed by out of control dogs, mainly Pit Bulls, and XL Bullies, and the authorities seem to be reluctant to do anything about it.

 

I understand that Buddhism comes into it, but IMHO, human lives should take preference over animals' lives.

 

And reading further into the article:- 

"Another family member said the mother of the injured baby was "devastated". They added the dog and the baby were like "two peas in a pod"." Which only goes to show the unpredictability of these dogs

 

And my "bare bones" post was to initiate some kind of discussion on the subject of dangerous dogs, with the emphasis being mainly on the (XL) Bully/Pit Bull breeds.

Thanks for that clarification. I agree .

It is unfortunate that the excuse to evoke Bhuddhism is too often produced as an excuse to ignore an issue that has an impact on society wider than the extreme of gross attacks.

As a past tense owner of a "PitBull cross dog I can attest to the unpredictable nature of that base breed.
