Comment to 'Changes to the Dangerous Dog Act in the UK'
  • I believe and hope the government intent when creating the law was good. But the outcome was horrible IMO. It was created because of fear. Much like our government that passes laws that are not beneficial and cause more undue stress. If we consider 911. It changed how we fly, how we go to baseball, football, etc games. Should we have made changes to security? Yes. but they went overboard.

    So in creating laws about travel, attending games, and BSL, and dangerous dogs acts it is called social control through fear. They control the public through fear. Fear of terrorist, fear of deaths due to dog bites, etc. The public begins to accept that the fears are rational. The government uses this to control mindless people.

    Citizens in believe the propaganda and it become mass hysteria. If a dog barks it is anti social behavior. Someone was kill and a gun was used. Now all guns are bad. This list can grow.
