The
owners of dogs that attack and kill someone could face life in prison under new
proposals for England and Wales.
The current maximum prison sentence
for allowing a dog that kills or injures someone to be dangerously out of
control is two years.
The government has proposed a
number of sentencing options for a fatal dog attack - from seven years to life.
But the RSPCA said more needed to be done.
Whenever the government tries to
address any issue the more needs to be done line will always be used so
no surprises there, but this is a necessary step because the current maximum of
two years is woefully inadequate.
Hopefully this will, in time, make
people either look after their dogs properly or better still mean less people
will want one of the stinking, slobbering, shitting, stupid things.
I’ll back anything that might lead
to that.
