Allie No Dots

There are some very interesting figures in there. Thanks for posting dave

Yeah.. I think he chickened out said he couldnt answer emails personally cos hes a busy man. thats got nowt to do with what his last reply to me said . Absolutly positive...not. Bound by disclaimers not to share tho. Sorry

right.So still BSL but more breeds. Yay.

Oh look. someone else who clearly misunderstands the current laws. Maybe wandsworth want to tell merseyside to stop siezing pit types cos they arent classified under the DDA.

http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/323/an...live-with-this/ Please crosspost if you agree with this

Have you guys read the proposal fo the control of dogs act (scotland) as seen here: http://www.scottish.parliament.uk/s3/bills...onsultation.pdf there is a very real chance this will be put through in scotland and then england. For more info on what the proposal means please see the BSL section"kennel club hails proposal a step in the right direction " . The proposal doesnt do what it says on the tin. If you agree PLEASE email Alex Neil (he is happy to hear from those outside of scotland) and copy your questions onto the comments site of the links in the thread mentioned. There are alternatives out there and you may have an idea yoruself that may help stop dog attacks. Please dont let this slide by without stating your views on it. We did that in 1991 and ended up with a god awful law Lets not do it again...Please?

Maybe right on the questions but i would strongly urge people to ask their own questions and expect a decent reply. If the reply doesnt show you this is a law worthy of pushing through, ask more questions. Its likely only submissions directed at him will be considered. If you dont mention them, how will he know they may be a problem? Again, Email him and by all means copy your question to the comments for added value. His response to me, i am not tackling as yet as i would like an answer to my question already posted first. I have a reply to his response and, tbh, i think it blows everything he said right out the water but i want my answer to bsl question first. One thing i want to really stress is this: If this law goes through we are in trouble. It will NOT protect the public and it WILL have a god awful affect on our dogs. If I am wrong(which i highly doubt) then fine, laugh at me later. But if you have even a one percent doubt in the proposal or think maybe, just maybe i have something in what i am saying, PLEASE do not think "someone else will do it" or that someone else can do any better than you. You have alot more power than you think and if you have doubts too, a few of us together have even more power. Please dont let this go through without stating your position. They are talking aboutyour dog/s.

Probably but i dont know. go and ask him

Told you not to underestimate yourself No one, no matter how many letters after their name or how high up the ladder of any group or job, will see more problems and answers than a dog owner. No one will be able to write the law to protect better than dog owners and parents. I have no idea how it will work on the stream question. The lab question, from how the proposal reads, may mean your friend could be in trouble as iirc(without looking at it again) mention of a high fence, presumably six foot, is a defence. If it aint six foot you may have a problem. Please do put any thoughts you have on the above link. You dont have to list them all at once, just as you think of them. Im sure Mr Neil will reply when he gets a chance I admit to caving and have posted a reply already Ive got alot more to say but would hate to be distracted from the main points first

http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/316/co...m-proposing-it/ I will be replying but not until monday probably Should anyone else want to take the oppourtunity to question Mr Neil on his proposal as he says himself "feel free to contact him" Ok he does say "directly" but im sure he wont mind if you post your questions up there. After all, he has One thing i will add: I emailed a few organisations today who are stated as backing the proposal. Plus other groups who i am interested in hearing their comments. One Organisation said something quite amazing. I cannot repeat it due to a disclaimer on the email however I urge you to ask questions of anyone who may back the proposal and see if the answers satisfy you. They didnt at all for me.

Looks like i dont need to email it to them after all lol

Ive had a very interesting reply from the SSPCA. someone may have missed something and I know for a fact it isnt me...am waiting for reply...

~Have also emailed the KC to ask what explanation they give to now not being the right "political Climate" to remove the bsl aspect of a law thats stated as hard to enforce, costly when it is enforced yet either way is claimed not to protect the public. Im sure it will be an interesting reason...should they actually reply... had a few mins spare so emailed a whole bunch of other groups too.

Sent an email

Exactly, which is why utimatley we need to imho scrap what we have and get something in that spells it out for all concerned exactly what is and isnt acceptable for dog owners, parents , everyone. Some of us no-ones are playing at doing just that...who knows...maybe we will come up with something
