Memorandum submitted by Jack L Thain
Having run for eight years a private animal
rescue organisation and seen the problems mainly in the domestic
field, the more so at Christmas time, I appreciate the Government's
work in the field of animal welfare and the Dangerous Dogs act
of 1997. Most of the problems in this field start at Christmas
with the animal growing up alongside excitable children.
I would suggest the following.
"All Domestic Dogs and Bitches over one
year old and of large breed category should wear a Halti Type
Head Harness, instead of the normal collar for control. These
if used to restrain the animal stops its mouth from opening to
bite and guides it by turning the head to left or right. A Horse
uses similar but more complicated equipment".
