Name: Natalie Finch on Jul 10, 2007Comments: I can not quite believe the ignorance demonstrated by Dublin City Council with regards to behaviour linked to certain breeds, If you actually spent time with Proffessionals in the industry, You will be made more than aware that dog behaviour is down to the owners and breed is irrelevant. I also would like to make a point that it is Orgainsations like the Council that are in the Prime posistion for promoting Responsilbe Dog Ownership and aid with re-education.Flag

Name: Vicky Kelly on Jul 10, 2007Comments: It makes no sense to ban certain types or breed of dog. A Bichon Frise could be taught to fight if that's what the owner wanted it to do. The energy should be spent re-educating the owners, not punishing the dogs.Flag

Name: Joan Dawson on Jul 10, 2007Comments: There is no such thing as a "dangerous breed" only dangerous people, and they are the one's responsible for making a dog dangerous! It should be made compulsory for potential dog owners to obtain a licence, and go through a test to see if they are worthy enough to own such a loving animal! The council should NOT be allowed to ban dogs of any breed, just the Indiscriminate people from owning them!Flag

Name: Anonymous on Jul 10, 2007Comments: Responsible dog ownership is needed. It is the few irresponsible owners who get all dogs and owners a bad name. What have all these dogs and owners done to have such thoughtless unnecessary action takenFlag

Name: Ben Miller on Jul 10, 2007Comments: The owners are the problem - not the dogs. Any dog can turn if not well trained or handled and as a result dogs who so happen to be one of the mentioned breeds will be torn away from their loving families for having a bad name. Ban irresponsible careless owners instead!Flag

Name: Tricia Lewis on Jul 10, 2007Comments: This has not been thought through and someone who doesn't like dogs has made a serious error. They are our best friends and the only problem with them is HUMANS let them sown. A dog is a dog some people just do not know how to have a chilled out dog. Contact Jan Fennell the dog Listener, to get some understanding.Flag

Name: Mark Needham on Jul 10, 2007Comments: A nation of animal lovers Clearly the council know nothing of responsible dog ownership. Every dog is an individual and should be treated as such, not by the length of it's legs and the colour of it's coat - all of that is down to humans breeding for a certain look - it means nothing to the dog, in my experience dogs never worry about what they look like they are just dogs all with very different personalities. In effect you will be killing Man's Best Friend. Such a loss of innocent lives - how can you all sleep at nightFlag
