After eleven horrific attacks in 1991, Home Secretary Kenneth Baker vowed to “rid the country of the menace of these fighting dogs” by introducing the Dangerous Dogs Act.
The law is often considered controversial because it focuses on a dog's breed or appearance rather than an individual dog's behavior, and fails to curb the rise of dog attacks.
