Comment to 'Changes to the Dangerous Dog Act in the UK'
  • I think the thing that bothers me most about ANY dog legislation is that it takes away an individual freedom and puts it in the hands of Government.  It erodes our right to choose and to be individuals and suffer all the consequences and enjoy all the rewards of that freedom.  The bigger the regulations get the smaller the individual freedoms and liberty becomes and that is the main problem.  When government acts in their perceived wisdom - the person suffers because a decision is taken away from them and certain acts are then mandated. It erodes the very thing that makes us human - choice, freedom, and Liberty.

    So anyway - Though we need some laws to exist in a civil society - we are definitely over regulated.
