@e7e139ac OR politicians are wary of upsetting the nations dog owners pre-general election. 🤷🏾♂️ Compulsory muzzles are as simple a solution as you can get.
@0f342e77 Yup that's what I said. A simple solution. So simple that you can't imagine there being a better and more effective one. And as for the government being wary of upsetting dog owners. The dangerous dogs act is a go to example of rushed knee jerk legislation. It's what the Tories do best, find a distracting scapegoat and be performatively cruel to it.
@e7e139ac The victim's name is Ian Price, 52. He lived on the street he was mailed to death on, & died trying to protect his elderly Mum, who was initially attacked by the two dogs. Let that sink in when you're defending the rights of dogs... 😓
@0f342e77 It's not worth repeating what I've already said. If you don't get it by now it's because you don't want to hear it. You're wrong about me, insulting me for no reason but you don't care about that. Bye now.
