Dangerous Dogs (Amendment) Bill Published

Have you ever had an encounter with a ‘dangerous’ dog? Do you believe it’s ‘deed, not breed’? The Government yesterday published an amendment to the controversial Dangerous Dogs Act 1991.

The full text of the bill is available here – while a brief overview is available from the BVA website, and a comment from BVA President Peter Harlech-Jones.

Critics of the law have long said that the DDA was a flawed law that wasn’t the answer to dog attacks – many organisations have long pushed for a clean rewrite of the law. Do you agree?
