Dangerous Dogs.

There is public outrage - fuelled by the media - because 16 people have died at the muzzle of dangerous dogs in the UK over the last 8 years.
This outrage is sensible and to be welcomed.
BUT when that same media underplay the huge numbers of murders at the hands of released 'lifers' and the terrible toll on lives of the public wreaked by 'bail bandits' - there is a tragic lack of balance.

Talking of life sentences for the owners of killer dogs which has been the main talking point on Radio Humberside yesterday - I cannot help but wonder why this could not simply be deemed manslaughter.
