“Owners of dogs that kill people could face life imprisonment if an online consultation run by the government demonstrates public support for more severe penalties. Public response will be one – but not necessarily the decisive – factor in shaping changes that the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) plans to make to the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act. Some 16 people have been killed by dangerous dogs since 2005. The Communication Workers Union (CWU), which represents postmen and women and telecoms engineers, who suffer around 5,000 dog attacks each year, welcomed the consultation.”
