Where will you get this data from? The UK do not seem to either accurately log dog type for attacks if at all
(Soz you replied while my post was underground!)

Zactly. Doesn't exist. So now what?

Let’s start with these, the low hanging fruit, and see how things go. Start keeping proper records and if any other breeds show themselves to be particularly troublesome, ban them too.
The whole “my pitbull is a big softie” is a load of nonsense. Other people don’t know that and a terrified of it, soft or not, particular those with kids.
Dog owners do not have the right to scare the shit out of people.

Proper break this time
They probably do exist to some extent, e.g (just from BMJ letters, but there are a couple of references, I'm not going digging):
But I don't think beesonthewhatnow is in a position to fund further studies/start a parliamentary committee or something.

What do you do when for example there's a new deadly virus going around and you don't have sufficient peer-reviewed stats on transmission methods? Do you think fuck it let's carry an as normal and maybe in a few years we'll have some nice stats, or do you take reasonable measures based on what information you do you have?

Well yeh by they I meant the parents, sorry I thought that was implied. Parents knew this was an issue and failed to monitor it.

I love dogs but think people are kidding themselves if they don't accept that all dogs have the potential to be dangerous and by nature of their physiology, that danger increases markedly with some breeds.
I've seen these XL Bullies in person, and they're almost comically and very distincively antisocial, that's the whole appeal to a certain type of dog owner. I think it's obvious that you can love dogs and love people and want to see the back of the pet equivalent of driving a tank to Morrisons.

And the data you're raving about is anecdata from farcebook, so just as equally valid then.

Certainly. I should be allowed to keep a tiger and it should have free run of the back gardens like any other cat. If people are scared then it's their own fault for not being a cat lover like me. My tiger has yet to kill so removing her now would be a violation of her feline rights.

With the licencing and training is this a free thing? Or will it be locked behind a paywall meaning that the affluent are the only ones who can have dogs?
I'm not totally against the idea I'd worry on how this would be implemented though and there are already a lot of barriers to people being able to have animals. We weren't able to have a dog due to being in private rented accommodation, but our landlord eventually relented. Felt like I was begging my parents.
There really needs to be a clampdown on breeding though. It's ridiculous the amount of puppy farm dogs that get abandoned and the whole trade is pretty barbaric tbh. I also think a training scheme and registration scheme would be better for the animals themselves as there are so many people that abuse animals and keep them in unsafe environments.

Never knew the Chow was viscous. (Whilst acknowledging all dogs can be dangerous.)

Taking on a dog (or most animals) is a large and long term financial commitment. I think having to find a few quid more to cover licensing/training really shouldn’t be an issue.
The data that certain sorts of breeds of dog are fatally/very seriously mauling people can be seen from the media reporting.And the data you're raving about is anecdata from farcebook, so just as equally valid then.

Not sure the media would bother reporting it if someone was savaged by a chihuahua.
If people were being killed or maimed by chihuahuas it'd definitely make the news. They're not.Not sure the media would bother reporting it if someone was savaged by a chihuahua.

The above graphic shows the Kangal has the highest PSI bite but is only responsible for 10 attacks since 1982.

The media like scare stories. Chihuahuas aren't scary.
