I've got to be honest, i'm getting a bit sick of the over used phrase "it's not the breed, it's the owner" that gets trotted out every time a kid gets mauled or killed by a pit bull or another dangerous breed of dog. It's surely both.
I'm curious to know what people think about this, and what legislation can be brought in to try and prevent further tragedies? I read somewhere that seven people (including five children) have been killed by dogs in houses in the last five years and that the NHS spends upwards of £3 million treating people who have serious "dog attack" injuries per year. Quite amazing, really.
