It is barbaric to put down dog because of its breed

HUMANS are supposed to be the cruellest animal on this planet.

A recent example of this was shown, not in a far away country, but here in a Derby court, concerning a certain alleged breed of dog and its legalised demise ("Dog owned by one-time gang member must be destroyed", Derby Telegraph, May 28).

The dog in question happened to be what the law decided was a fighting dog and therefore illegal.

Whether this innocent dog is owned by a gang member should have no bearing on its healthy life.

No healthy animal should be destroyed simply because of its breed or pedigree. Isn't this similar to what happened to a certain group of people in Germany during the Second World War?

It's barbaric to contemplate such laws, let alone carry them out.

    “I do agree with Joe but perhaps he could have phrased the letter a little better. The Dangerous Dogs Act was a knee-jerk reaction by the morons in Westminster, pressured by a tabloid campaign. It doesn't work and has simply resulted in a load of dogs being destroyed for no other reason than their perceived breed.

    What they should have done was bring back the dog license and that dogs had to be registered and chipped before changing hands. Any dog causing trouble would get points on the license (number depend on seriousness) and just like a driving license the owner would face higher penalties the more the points. The license would pay for the system.

    When are people going to descend to "your momma is so ugly.." insults to show how mature they really are BTW? If all someone can do is insult someone else without making a valued contribution then don't bother. Most people would not talk to someone else in the street like this, so why do it when hiding behind a computer screen?”

    So according to you no one is allowed to express a view unless others (meaning you & your cronies) agrees with it.

    Thanks for confirming what we already suspected about you and your kind.”

    How ironic that YOUR post is the only one off topic (makes no reference to it at all) and therefore which actually IS spam.”
