Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 June 2008. It occurred during Topical debate on Dangerous Dogs.
Dangerous Dogs
Does the Minister agree that this debate would be better entitled ““Dangerous Dog Owners””? It is not the dogs that are at fault but the owners. If owners train or breed them to be aggressive, they will be. A lot of kennels, breeders and pet shop owners are very responsible and go to great lengths to ensure that people who take on puppies have the right temperament to train them and the right environment to bring them up in. Can we not place more responsibility on kennels and pet shops so that those that are not responsible are made to ensure that the people who buy their puppies are fit to do so?
