Merseyside dog amnesty

[bunn]

I have just looked at  this PDF leaflet issued by Merseyside police about their  illegal dog amnesty.   It makes me angry.

 In particular, the description of 'how to identify an illegal dog' combined with 'who will decide a dog is illegal' and the advice to report dogs belonging to one's friends family and neighbours makes me want to march up and down ranting loudly.   I would like some non-dog-owner people to tell me if they think I am overreacting.

I really liked Liverpool when I worked there, but its undeniably a place where there is a large group of people with relatively poor educations who are likely to panic easily.

I imagine that does attract the dog-fighting types, but I don't see that this sort of thing will help enough with that problem to make up for the enormous potential for misery to the ordinary people who happen to have dogs that are the wrong shape - let alone the dogs.
