Banning the breeding of certain breeds makes sense. But forcing people to surrender their existing pets is just sick and cruel.

I don't agree but can definitely understand that perspective. It is pretty weird on face value.

I’m against breed specific legislation, but I would wonder this: who the hell is bringing snowy weather dogs to hot as hell Egypt? A husky would not be happy in Egypt.

Important to note, Muslims consider dogs unclean and generally don't like them. You're not supposed to have one unless it's a work dog, they're not the social phenomenon they are in the west. So you can see this seeping out.

We need something like that in the UK. There's too many idiots with pitbuls and similar breeds. They should be banned from public space.

There are too many idiots with pits and well, dogs in general.
Ban the people from public space, the dogs can stay..
