Bull Breeds - Really They’re Just Great Big Pussy Cats
As we step forward into another year I thought, instead of my usual attempt to “rally the troops” or make everyone cry, Id take the time to look back over what we, the people, have achieved, how far we have come. We are, according to ourselves, the most intelligent species. We are also a nation of animal lovers. We deal with facts and figures.

Dogs: What Are They For?
I sometimes get accused of sensationalism and ‘going over the top’ in some of the blog posts I make here.
See, for example, the recent ‘Is the Kennel Club an Underground Cult?’ post I made. I got a few emails about that one.

Dangerous Dogs: A Solution - Muzzle Them All & Keep Them On a Lead
Over the past years we’ve heard a number of alternative ‘dangerous dog’ solutions proposed. Ways and means by which we can prevent dog attacks from occurring. Ideas and suggestions which can help us rid ourselves of the menace of dog attacks. One of the most common ideas put forward seems, on the face of it, to be entirely sensible: to muzzle all dogs and keep them confined to a lead at all times in public. Well, whilst it may seem sensible - unfortunately, it is not. In fact I speculate that if we want to literally DOUBLE the number of dog attacks, especially the most serious ones, the way to do it would be to muzzle and confine all dogs to leads in public.
