'Things are at breaking point': Parents of girl, 14, savaged to death call for urgent dog law change
The family of a teenage girl who was mauled to death by four dogs today backed a new campaign for stricter laws amid a series of recent fatal attacks, saying: "Things are at breaking point. We want justice for families."
The Manchester Evening News has sadly reported on further tragedies, with a three-year-old boy, Daniel Twigg, dying in hospital after he was attacked by a dog on Carr Lane in Milnrow, Rochdale, in May last year and a year on, on May 19, 37-year-old father Jonathan Hogg suffered fatal injuries after he was attacked by a dog, believed to be an XL bully-type.
"We want to join the Mirror and victims to achieve meaningful change from the Government. Things are at breaking point. We want justice for families." Shirley said of hearing nothing from DEFRA: "Surely we should have a say in the law we helped campaign for? They need to show they care. It’s insulting to Jade’s legacy."
"They’re all over social media. I spent two hours one afternoon - I started on one breeder’s page on Facebook and followed through their connections and within two hours I found 30 illegal bully breeders in the Cardiff area alone." “And finally, we’ve set up a working group with the police, local authority groups and animal welfare experts to look at ways to take forward measures on reducing dog attacks and to promote responsible dog ownership.”
