Is it really fair to put both their lives and other people at risk? If this law prevents just one child, or elderly person being hurt, surely it cannot be wrong!

Like I said previously, there should be dog parks such as the ones in the States, where dogs can run and interact with other and their owners. At least then innocent dogs and people will not get hurt.
