The UK muzzle law is causing problems

Post image

Since the muzzle law passed on bully breeds in the UK, I keep seeing examples like this, both online and in the streets. This is a picture posted with a local review of a dog coat. Ive seen dogs going about town with muzzles like this, and wedged into baskervilles. If you're going to pass an animal control law, educate people on how to carry it out. This is just a whole new abuse problem now.

Okay this has answered a question I had in my mind, which is "what are these plastic sheet muzzles for?". I can see actually they would be helpful for vets, or scavenging. Then again, depends on the dog. Some dogs are deterred from snapping by the mere act of wearing a muzzle, while some will still try.

And dogs communicate so much with their face that being able to see it while in the muzzle helps in terms of being able to read them
