Dogs used to Intimidate

There is concern that a number of illegal dogs are on the streets and rising. Young men are using vicious breeds as weapons of intimidation and status symbols. Gordon Shepherd, 25, a part time DJ, said he likes it when he takes his pit bull and Rottweiler crossbreed called Rocky out for a walk and people are scared of him.

It make me feel powerful when people move out of my way. I have trained Rocky to bite anyone I point out straightaway. Sometimes you have to beat it into the dog, train your dog to be violent; I hit it into him to be violent. Its just as good as having a knife the damage he could do to a person it used in the right way.

The RSPCA says that dogs are bein treated for stab wounds, burns and broken bones because they are being used in street fights. Dogs are becoming a big part of gang culture.

Where breeding French mastiffs is legal, they are band from being breed under the dangerous dogs act 1991, cross breeding of four types of fighting dogs in the UK, include pit bull teriers.

The RSPCA is calling for the government to look into the current dog legislation so that more responsibility goes on the owners. In most cases its not the dogs that are the problem it's the owners.

An owner of a border collie has been found guilty of neglect. Ronald West, of Donald Road Brighton was convicted for allowing his five year old dog Taz to reach anatomising 88lb in weight. Ronald West ignored orders to improve his dog’s heath.

Animal welfare officers, who visited 62 year old Ronald West at his flat last December, said they found dog faeces in every room. He said he had been unwell and couldn't clean up the poo or walk his dog. Officers ask Mr West to get advice from a vet to help with Taz over weight, to exercise and clip his dog overgrown claws. But Mr West failed to improve his dog’s condition and Taz became fatter.

How Many Black Birds in the Tree

There was I in the garden sitting in the Sunshine, Mica chewing on her Kong enjoying the warmth. I hear the sound of the pond water fountain; I hear the birds sing while going about their business. Then I see a female black bird with a green caterpillar wriggerling in her beak. She hops into our Conifer trees, and I hear chirping. In and out of the trees the male and female Black birds go, feeding their little ones. Then I got the chance when they both took time out from feed the young, and snap this little picture. Are little darlings.
