People who own vicious so called status dogs like Staffs and Pit bulls will not be allowed to live in Council property, this is the new initiative being put forward by Harrow Council.
It is an excellent idea in principle and should be adopted nationwide not just by individual Councils, the problem will be enforcing it, the first defence will be the old bug bear “human rights” by taking away somebody’s “loved” pet and companion I’m sure their rights will be infringed somehow.
Councils will find it impossible to evict tenants who keep these dangerous dogs because apart from anything else their own staff will be too frightened to serve the order or enforce the eviction. And the people who keep these dogs are not amenable to suggestion, discussion, or abiding by any law.
Thugs have realised that to carry a knife can lead to a jail sentence of up to 5 years, whereas arming yourself with one of these vicious animals carry’s no punishment , yet they are equally as deadly, and a menace to the public in general as is borne out by the number of attacks in recent years mostly on children.
Drug dealers use them routinely as protection, if you are standing on a street corner selling drugs, you are just as likely to be robbed for the drugs you have, also its obvious because you are trading you are carrying cash to, that’s why these dogs are a necessity for those in that line of work.
Visit any Council estate around the Country and you will see gangs of youths standing on street corners with these dogs. these Killer animals are increasingly being used in street robbery’s, it takes a brave man to refuse to hand over his valuables when confronted by one of these snarling beasts.
So though I applaud Harrow Council for having the idea , I’m afraid making it work is going to be impossible.
