Personally, I don't see manslaughter sticking in UK. GOt any reasons, Magrath? I dont think even proving scienter would do it.

Anyone thought why the owners had those dogs? Did they feel the needed defence from local dangers?

I still feel sorry for the dogs though.

THere was a pit bull down a pub we play in, the other night. Neutered, as UK law requires, but not muzzled as UK law also requires (for dogs on teh "Dangerous Dogs" list). Rescued via Battersea Dogs home from fighting. Ears reconstructed through surgery.

Loved everyone. Sweetest dog I've seen in public for ages.

Only two breeds specifed so far (I think) under our Act (the worst piece of draftsmanship I've seen in a long day!). Pit Bull and Toza.

Candidates?
