Mass destruction mooted

I only read this because I was amused that Copeland and Dunne are both trying to grab the headlines over the latest dog attack. Methinks Copeland might be trying a tad too hard though with his latest suggestion;

“However any ban needs to go beyond just eliminating these dogs from our society in the future and, although I know it is a tough call, I think we need to look at the destruction of these breeds in their entirety starting from now. Our children must come first."

Say what?? How will that work? Put out a call to all dangerous dog owners (I know that's ambiguous but some owners are more dangerous than their dogs) to bring them into the pound to be destroyed? Rounding up every family pet Staffie? Gordon Bennett, Gordon. Get a grip.

Given that Maori kill more children annually it might be a solution - but not a popular one. ; )

Wait, I thought the micro chips were going to take care of this?

Two fading politicians (Copeland and Dunne) trying to get some mileage and publicity out of this; and further proof than the microchip legislation has not achieved any thing.

The above followers of King Canute would like to solve every problem by passing law after law.
