Ennvironment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee Written evidence submitted by Mandy Mcgilchrist

I have read the amendment from defra and it doesn’t appear they have do e anything to prevent dog attacks they have just thought about what punishment people could get after an attack by a dog.

It’s all about destroying dogs and nothing about punishing owners which we all know are the problem!

I would have liked to see defra take this opportunity to encourage responsible ownership of dogs.

This new amendment will not stop dog attacks and will allow the killing of thousands of innocent family pets.

All dog attacks should be looked at individually and not blamed on certain breeds. We need a deed not breed way of looking at things.
