Just wondering if uninsured dogs will get crushed the same way as cars

[spider]

No, just clamped.

Good news surely. Im sick of the sight of these little hooligans running roudn with their pitbulls not on a a leash or even muzzled,why the fck should ordinary people be intimidated by these yobs?

Speaking as someone who had a rottie/mastiff cross, I'm not overly against this. The article says all dogs must be insured not just the usual suspects. Does seem a bit unenforceable though, especially if the person is homeless.

My understanding that the proposal for compulsory insurance is tied to the plan for compulsory mirco-chipping.

The idea is then that someone goes round checking the mirco-chipping and that is checked against the database to see whether the dog has insurance.

A bit like the system for automatic vehicle registration plate checking, where if the police find a vehicle without insurance when checked against the insurance database the vehicle is taken off the road.

Any dog whose mirco-chip throws up no insurance is taken off the road.

I neither support, nor not support this, just trying to explain how I think the proposal is supposed to work.

If they're sodding bull terriers and staffies, I hope so. Worst dogs ever.

Be funny if they get insurance for those barking rats called Chihuahuas tjhat girls are so fond of carrying around in their hand bags.

Them dogs is well mean!
