Anyone owning an american XL bully dog, or any other vicious breed, should be arrested and sent for retraining, severely, until they no longer want to own such an animal.

Obviously, all dogs have the potential to bite but some breads have the breed instinct to bite and fight irrespective of them being in trained hands they can be unpredictable... for this reason alone I agree with John…a blanket ban on such breed types would be a step in the right direction. In fact, I would go one step further and say “if all dog owners can’t walk their dog/s to heel then the dog is out of control and unpredictable.

Can't say I disagree that OL, but let's go further and introduce a ban on allowing cats not to leave the house to roam free as is being proposed in Australia.
That should upset a view cat lovers.

I'd ban hamsters. Not enough meat for a decent meal.

I’m right behind Australia’s cat legislation, indeed I think all cats should be made to wear a bell round their necks to protect little dickie birds…I also think all cat owners should be made to follow their cats around with poo bags :thumbup: :D

I once tried Guinea pig in Peru, not much meat on it, and no real taste to it.

No bubbling or squeaking, it was rather like chewing Biltong, but without the flavour.

Hi John, seeing that you are willing to get your teeth into anything I’ve just put your name forward as a contestant on… I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!

Enjoy!

I would not like to see cats put down if they did ban cats outside.
But, if it did come to that, let's not just bury it, let enjoy it. Here is a recipe.
If a slow cooker is not available, a cat can be baked at 350 degrees for 2-3 hours in a conventional oven and still come out pretty good. Beer Roasted Cat is fantastic served with mashed potatoes, collard greens, and fresh, homemade egg rolls. When planning a full meal just remember, cat is a course best served hot!
Bon Appétit.

Kirklees council may be going the way of Birmingham, they have to save £47m next year so are currently trying to find the savings. So we can look forward to even poorer services and increases in everything they can currently charge.
Oh what fun to live in Huddersfield.

They do have better weather than we have, which is a temptation, but I am a northern boy at heart and don't think I want to rusk a change at my age.
