Dog = Responsibility, Reckless = Reckless
Another horrific mauling by a pitbull, queue another justified public outcry. The dogs (pitbulls) had wandered on to the property where Alex (the child) was playing and did not belong to the neighbour, she (Alex's mother) said.
Ms Hutton said: "I want those dogs put down, and the book thrown at the owners." It seems fairly clear the owners of these dogs have being reckless, what will happen to them is not clear as yet.
My question - what is the difference between being reckless in a car, or reckless with a dog, and causing the same sort of injuries? Wouldn't it be right and just to see the same sort of consequence?
