    Who let the dog out?

    WTF?

    Btw It isn't a kennel club breed so is a mongrel. So legislation has to be more nuance.

    The child victim of a dog attack which prompted the home secretary to seek a change in the law says the animal should be put down and its owner jailed.

    Ana Paun, 11, told Sky News: "I want him to go and die. I think the dogs like that should be banned.

    "The owner should be in prison. He never did anything. He just let the dog bite everyone."
    Meanwhile, police say they will speak to the owner of the crossbreed XL bully/Staffordshire bull terrier puppy that attacked people in Birmingham as the animal remains in "secure kennels".

    Home Secretary Suella Braverman said on Sunday she was seeking "urgent advice" about banning American XL bully dogs after footage showed the animal attacking Ana and a man in Bordesley Green.

    Ms Braverman said the dogs were a "clear and lethal" danger after the video of the attack appeared on the social media platform TikTok.

    Ana can be heard screaming in the disturbing footage as people gather around to help her.

    West Midlands Police has said two men, who were bitten and left with injuries to their shoulders and arms, were taken to hospital to be treated for their injuries after the incident on Saturday.

    In a statement released on Monday, West Midlands Police said: "We are continuing to investigate after three people were injured when a dog broke free from its collar in Bordesley Green on Saturday afternoon.

    "The crossbreed bully XL/Staffordshire bull terrier puppy chased an 11-year-old girl and she sustained serious injuries to her shoulder and forearms. She was treated in hospital and is now recovering at home.

    "Several people rushed to her aid and as the dog broke free from its owner a second time, a 20-year-old man was chased across a garage forecourt and was taken to hospital with bites to his shoulder and forearm, along with cuts and bruises from being dragged across the floor."

      probably some scrote well known to his majesties' constabulary that their honours think can be rehabilitated by not going to prison.

        Indeed; a proportionate and measured response. In addition, the owner's estate is forfeit to the victims.

          Just read elsewhere in some countries if you let your dog (property) attack and injure someone or another person's property (dog/cat/whatever) you are charged with the relevant offence like you did the attack and injury yourself.

          Guess there would be a few more charged with common assault plus imprisoned for ABH and GBH. Only problem is our prisons are a bit full...

            Sadly they are being filled by people who would be better off tagged and a number of imported criminals.

            Remand seems to be a way to punish suspects without trial. Default should be tags so they can continue working and paying taxes or trying to be shown as a good citizen.

            Remand in real prisons is just a training ground.

            40+% of offences are drug related so sentencing prisoners to forced rehab would be the most sensible strategy. The none users can go category A instantly.

            Those committing property crimes or things like drug dealing should be forced into restitution i.e. automatic garnishing of benefits etc until their victims / state are repaid this should be part of sentencing.

            Education should be part of the sentence.
