UK police keep dog in tiny cage for 2 years!

[Catherine]

Sadly a great many laws are made in response to public reaction to some event and are brought about by people who know nothing about the issue.

The public is forever reacting to things they know nothing about. Ask a random person about some issue and they will come out with nonsense. One dog bite and some people want to get rid of all dogs.
I don't know why pit bulls were the chosen scape goat. There are other breeds that have been involved in bite incidents. I suspect bites by really small breeds go unreported so it looks like they never bite. Once everyone "knew" that Pitbulls were dangerous banning them made politicians look good, like they are trying to do what is right for our well being.

We don't "know" that Pitbulls are dangerous. As you say Libby, you can't judge a dog by its breed. It is ignorance pure and simple.  Sadly Stella and her owner are paying the price.  Stella is a pit bull mix so her person may have thought she was legal.

If they planned to kill her, why did they keep her in isolation so long. Why not just do it. Why drag out the misery?
