The rise of the criminal canine
In the First Post comes this article. These articles can be found a dime a dozen. I notice when ever there is anything negative to say, even if the article does state that the dogs aren't dangerous by nature, but trained this way by criminals, why then won't they print a positive side of the dogs?
I personally find this very confusing as it makes the general public think the people that own these dogs are criminals and we know that the majority of them aren't. Look at the picture they use of the American Pit bull. It's no wonder the general public are so afraid.
Sure, criminals will use whatever they can use for their illegal gains, whether it be guns, dogs, computers or anything else they can use to their advantage. This will never stop until they catch the criminals and put them behind bars.
Criminals will use whatever prey they can to get what they want even if that is to snatch up young run aways to do their dirty work. A criminal mind doesn't stop to think about they are hurting, nor do they care.
The press can put pictures of dogs or guns in their articles, but why don't they use the real criminal instead and deal with the REAL problem.
We tried to get positive press for the bullies. Could we? NO! They wouldn't allow our side to be shown and the dogs end up the victims to creeps.
The rise of the criminal canine
More and more Londoners are using breeds of dangerous dog as weapons, writes Matt Ford
Residents of the Suffolk village of Stanningfield are angry because large dogs - an alsatian and an Irish Wolfhound - belonging to the model Claudia Schiffer and her husband are harassing walkers near the couple's mansion. They should be grateful they don't live in London, where dangerous - sometimes illegal - dogs are now commonplace.
The Metropolitan Police Authority's deputy chairwoman, Cindy Butt, has said bull terriers and pit bull-type dogs are becoming the "weapons of choice" for young criminals who use them to attack or intimidate people.
Mike Butcher, chief inspector of the RSPCA special operations unit, says he has seen "a very large increase"
Pit bull-type dogs are becoming the ‘weapons of choice’ for young criminals in public complaints.
Although the Home Office does not collect statistics on how dogs are used in crime, the RSPCA, the Metropolitan Police and vets all agree that the criminal use of dogs is growing. Police officers report being confronted with dogs when trying to enter properties.
"It's a tragedy," says one breeder. "The dogs themselves aren't nasty by nature, but they get treated badly, burnt with cigarettes. People like to show they're tougher than a bull terrier. They encourage them to be vicious."
The 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act banned only four breeds from Britain, including the American pit bull terrier. But police have to genetically test dogs they believe to be illegal to prove their pedigree, which is often unsuccessful. Dealers and owners know this and are flouting the law.
