Rachelpirate Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Are they only having one caller about Rotties? The guy clearly didn't even know all the facts, thinking Ellie Lawrenson was killed by a Rottie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peachy Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Is that our Amanda on now? I'm part way through lodging an official complaint about him on the BBC website. His ignorance is boundless but calling his listeners 'stupid' for defending their dogs is beyond acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachelpirate Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Someone mention to him that a baby was once killed by a pomeranian. The caller at the moment is doing very well standing up to him. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReikiAnge Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 Someone mention to him that a baby was once killed by a pomeranian. And that a labrador was the cause of a face transplant, but he doesn't care about that does he. I have read various reports of past incidents of other dogs attacking over the last few days, including a retriever that attacked a child out of nowhere and caused serious facial damage. But you don't get to hear about these do you, because it's not a bull breed or a rottie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie No Dots Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 a few facts for anone calling in.... There were approximately 6.8 million dogs in the UK in 2004 (2) and 60.2 million people. (3) During 2004 there were 350 convictions (4) under section 3.1 of the DDA involving 'injury' to a person. The number of dog bites per year is not centrally recorded. During a six year period from 1999 to 2004 there were on average 2.3 fatalities a year due to being bitten or struck (data was not separated from 2001) by a dog compared to 63 people who died from suffocation due to a plastic bag in 1999, 77 fatalities due to falling from a ladder in 2000 and 20 people who died as a result from being thrown from an animal in 2003. In 2004 there were no fatalities attributed to being bitten or struck by a dog but eight people died due to hornets, wasps and bees, three people died from using powered lawnmowers and one person died from being struck by lightening. (5) In 2005, 3,472 children were seriously injured in road traffic accidents with 141 children killed on the roads. (6) To some, banning breeds may seem acceptable after an event, as it did 15 years ago. However, the hastily drafted Dangerous Dogs Act of 1991 did not stop attacks by dogs and it never will, since the majority of dog-related incidents actually happen in the home. One study showed that 85% of bites occurred in the dogs' own home, the majority involving males. (7) Another study demonstrated that in over 70% of cases, people are bitten by their own pets or by an animal known to them, with children under 5 years of age most at risk. (8) An increase in animal bites occurs in hot weather and during public holidays. Attempting to further ban specific types of dog will not protect the public. One study showed that that there was actually little impact on the number of hospital attendances due to bite injuries following the introduction of the DDA.
