Human friends of so-called 'killer' dogs could be sentenced to life in prison. In Great Britain we are looking at the increase in penalties for these subjects. In particular, those whose dogs were guilty of murder would be sentenced to life in prison
He is about to end up run over, his mother saves himThe owners or, rather, the human friends of the so-called dogs 'killer' could be sentenced to life imprisonment. In Great Britain we look toincreased sentences and life imprisonment especially for those responsible for offending dogs murder.
The initiative aims for more severe penalties compared to two years planned in the United Kingdom from Dangerous Dogs Act del 1991. The proposal was launched by il Minister of Animal Welfare Lord de Mauley. The government thus devised one consultation on the web to find out what the population thinks of the increased penalties.
The new sanctions, if the proposal is accepted, will be included in the bill on anti-social behavior and crime, which already contains a clause that makes it a crime to have a dangerous dog in a private home, as well as to take it to a public place.
Without going into the merits of the causes that underlie the 'dangerousness' of dogs - very often attributable to humans - the new regulations on the one hand protect animals, often trained to become dangerous for various purposes, on the other. they would place the responsibility for their actions on man, with a significant change of perspective.
The public response could be decisive. In any case, the intentions of the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to proceed in this direction are all there. Approximately 16 people were killed from dogs since 2005. Among them is 14-year-old Jade Anderson who was mauled by four dogs at a friend's house near Wigan.
"Dog attacks are terrifying and we need severe penalties to punish those who allow their dog to hurt other people" he said Mauley at the Guardian. Those who answer the online questionnaire will be asked if they are in favor of "an increase in the maximum penalty for aggravated offenses committed by dangerous dogs".
La online consultation will start on September 1st.
