A1In text 1, “Police back new law on killer dogs”, Jamie Doward presents essentially the same view from three different sources. The view is that you cannot tell if a dog is dangerous or not based alone on the breed.
The first source, Chief Constable of Merseyside Police Bernard Hogan-Howe does not say this explicitly but he “would now welcome a considered and thoughtful review of the current legislation” and this is “likely to be interpreted” to mean that he would like new laws to target the owners rather than the dogs when it comes to banning dogs.
The second source, the Kennel Club, is campaigning for laws based on “deed not breed”. This means that a breed of dog cannot be banned, but that dogs that show themselves to be dangerous can be put down. The Kennel Club does not, however, say anything about whether or not the owners should be punished for not controlling their dog properly.
The third source, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, does not “believe certain types are more dangerous than others” and therefore that the current Dangerous Dog Act is unworkable, meaning that justice is not done with enough stability to ensure that the law is strong enough.
