   Well a lot of them are fucking vicious for one reason or another.  I've often   
   seen one person's dog attack another person's dog, both still on leads, both   
   owners frantically trying to stop them.  And no, neither were "known vicious   
   breeds".

   I had a go at the council once for that.  The only place left to park in a   
   busy street was straddling a bump.  This meant my car was tilted over, so when   
   I opened the door it scraped against the pavement.  I sent them the bill for   
   some paint and never    
   heard back.  Councils operate above the law.
