2025/28067 - How effective is the Dangerous Dog Act (1991) and Breed Specific Legislation
REQUEST
“How effective is the Dangerous Dog Act (1991) and Breed Specific Legislation, at reducing dog attacks leading to hospitalisation within the UK?”
I am requesting data for the below questions from all hospital trusts within the UK, where possible:
Since 2019 how many dog attacks have been reported each year, and if possible, broken down into breeds?
How many dogs on human attacks have, to your knowledge, resulted in hospitalisations each year since 2019?
How many reports of XL bully attacks since 2019, and have you noticed a decrease since the 1st of February 2024?
Which dog breed carried out the most attacks each year since 2019?
