AFTER reading Muzzle Order On Killer Dog (January 24), how I wonder about the leniency of York magistrates.

Why is it that a "killer dog" gets nothing but a new muzzle?

Is this a new outlook in York that all dogs are safe and an attack is just out of character and will not happen again, therefore letting killer dogs free from what they deserve?

I just can't help thinking though: how would the owner have felt had it been her dog that had been so innocently killed?
