We always go back to education. It is key to so many things. Ms Creedon spoke about the theory test. If there is theory test for a drivers licence there should certainly be one for a licence for a creature that is a potential killer. People do not have the education and they do not understand. I have been bitten by a dog. I could not believe it from wee Benji there; he does not bite anybody. There he was hanging off my leg, however, so he certainly does bite. People are just not nailing it when it comes to education. Are other countries doing a theory test and following through with the licence and enforcement? Is there a country which is putting in the resources to educate the population and protect dogs. If you are a dog lover, you will want to protect your dog and not do anything to harm it or for it to do anything wrong.
