These dogs should've been banned years ago IMO, they are clearly a danger and should've been included in the Dangerous Dogs Act.
Thoughts?

So mirror speculation at this point?2024 The year of the general election...the time for change is coming 💡 -
that is not fair or nice anyways
My name is Masuma Akhtar -
@MrAllen1976 my partner had a Staffordshire bull terrier and he is soft and a big baby he runs and hides when he sees a cat
Its the way people train them if you train a dig yi be vicious thats what the dog will be is vicious any dog can turn
I had a doberman called zuse I had three children at the time he was soft as putty he was never left alone with any of my children
My next door neughbor poised him because they said he was a dangerous dog yet he hadnt done anything
I laughed when I had my chow more people were scared of him and he was tiny lol
If owners didn't train their dogs to be vicious then this type of dog would be a lot safer -
@lisathomas50 while I agree with what you are saying, too often it is not because they are trained to be vicious but rather they are not trained at all, and owners have little or no control over their dogs.
Grabbing at stories like this where there is barely any information can be somewhat misleading as to make any kind of judgement is pure speculation.
Other reports reveal she had 'rescued' the dog from a garden where she had seen it on and off over a number of years. Sorry but even accepting her intentions was good, it sounds more like she stole someone's dog which had possibly been neglected, possibly abused physically and with no real idea of the dogs' temperament. On top of this, it seemed to have easy access to her bedroom where she would have been at her most vulnerable. Yes, this is still speculation but based at least on further information being reported.
Again, accepting she had the best intentions this does seem like a complete recipe for the disaster that followed. There are good reasons why any rescued dog is given a full assessment and not just medical before they are put up for adoption and efforts are made that the rescued animal goes to a suitable home.
Rather than just blaming the dog it would seem more like a series of mistakes resulting in a young woman sadly losing her life and my sympathies go out to her family and friends.
As an individual I stood alone.
As a member of a group I did things.

In a related story, just seen https://reachplc.hub.loginradius.com/auth.aspx?return_url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/breaking-baby-boy-mauled-dog-23458514 when I looked at the story in the OP... It doesn't say what breed the dog was, but it was probably a Staffie again.

It's not the breed of dog but the owner. I have grown up around Staffordshire Bull Terriers, English Bull Terriers and Saint Bernards. I have never been bitten or attacked, even as a child when I used to crawl around in preference to my wheelchair. My wife and I bred Staffordshires for years and were registered members of the Kennel Club, so underwent all of the necessary background and environment checks. Staffies are energetic, loyal, loving (to the point of neediness) dogs.
Dog licences need to be brought back in. Much more scrutiny needs to be shown to the type of human that should be allowed a dog of any breed.Scope
