		The 1991 Act was amended by the Dangerous Dogs (Amendment) Act 1997.
		The dog must have been attacking or chasing livestock in such a way that it could reasonably be expected to cause injury or suffering or, in the case of females, abortion or the loss or diminution of their produce.
		The keeper of the dog is not liable where the damage is due wholly to the fault of the person suffering it or if the livestock were killed or injured on land onto which they had strayed and either the dog belonged to the occupier or its presence was authorised by the occupier.

		The political background to the DDA is quite clearly marked: John Major had only recently become Prime Minister, succeeding Margaret Thatcher after her party infamously 'dropped' her the previous November, considering her to be an electoral liability after the introduction of hated and unfair poll tax.
		It is also true that dog fighting rings were on the increase, although it was not true to link every owner of a "macho" breed (usually considered by the media to be anything bigger than a Chihuahua) to the shady world of organised dog fighting.
		More insidious however, was Section 3 of the Act, which covered ALL dogs in the UK and stipulated that any dog "dangerously out of control in a public place" would also be liable for destruction, carrying a mandatory death sentence, as with Section 1.

		The Act was introduced by the then Home Secretary, Kenneth Baker, in response to public concern about irresponsible dog owners and a number of attacks by fighting dogs, particularly pit bull terriers.

	Guardian \| Whatever happened to dangerous dogs?
		Everyone knows that a dog is a man's best friend, but a wave of sensationalist newspaper reports in 1990 and 1991 suggested that they could also be a child's worst enemy.
		The result was the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991, introduced by the eminently forgettable home secretary Kenneth Baker, and widely criticised as an archetypal piece of knee-jerk nonsense.
		The act made it illegal to own certain types of dogs as well as targeting owners of any dog that was dangerously out of control.

	BSL - The dangerous dogs act.
		A lot has been written about the DDA and it has to be said, without becoming a conspiracy theorist, there does appear to be evidence that certain individuals for their own agendas use the Act.
		Such a conspiracy would not come from the Government (and Labour have left the DDA intact, despite their pre 1997 General Election pledge to "look at it"), but most likely individual police officers, civil servants, vets and others have their own reasons for using the DDA...
		Dog fighting has moved further underground, so the professional dog fighters are untouched by it.

	Issue Statement: Dangerous Dogs Act
		In 2003, the Kennel Club hosted a ‘dangerous dogs’ meeting, to discuss the inadequacies of the Dangerous Dogs Act (DDA) 1991, with a view to then making representations to the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) and suggesting ways that the current Act could be amended or even rewritten.
		The MPS are regarded as nationwide leaders with reference to their views and policy regarding ‘dangerous dogs’ and with their proactive assistance, dogs held under the DDA in the London area that pose no danger to the public have already been released after behavioural assessment.
		Furthermore, all are agreed that a large percentage of dog biting incidents are due to the irresponsible actions of owners, who have either not taken the time and trouble to train their dog correctly, or have indeed trained them to behave aggressively.

	Dangerous Dogs, Dangerous Governments
		The Dangerous Dogs Act in the UK is one example of knee jerk reaction by Government, but worst still is the even more draconian action being taken by the German Government, details of which follow.
		If the dog is protecting its owner and or its territory then its not the dog or the owners fault, rather its the fault of the other person or dog for not respecting the dog and its instincts in the first place.
		The solution to the dog and human safety debate is education, licensing,legislation of owners/breeders and their responsibilities and ultimately insurance, not as some may believe sterilisation, destruction and blanket bans on breeding.
