With the growing number of dog attacks in the past few years, many resulting in bad injuries and even death, the government launches a public consultation today on proposed changes to the current dangerous dogs laws. The measures  include:

• Extending the current law to private property
• Removing or extending the list of banned dogs
• Introducing dog control orders
• Making dog insurance compulsory
• Microchipping puppies

This subject has been covered before in this blog ‘Pets That Kill’   The public consultation details are at http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/consult/dangerous-dogs/.
