I don't think you have quite got the point. What else do you suggest, councils doing it all for free? Can you imagine what Daily Mail readers would say to that?

Who cares about the daily mail readers if they are too dumb to understand some things and blow them way out of proportion then thats there fault, aslong as your proven to know how to look after and care for the animals safely you shouldnt have to pay a yearly fee to fat council members to keep them.

I don't think you are thinking about it properly. Read through some of this section & then tell me if you think some of the people who want to keep should be allowed to waste councils money getting their whole application rejected for free!

On the Daily Mail readers point... unfortunately the government cares what they think, and if it would benefit them they would ban all DWA's without too much thought.

the way i think about it is, anyone who keeps a dwa should be sent through a course on how to care and look after said dwa animals, at the end of this course there should be some sort of test, like a theory test if you like? to make sure the new dwa owner isnt just some boy from da hood innit.

once this is proved that said person is capable of looking after such a animal there are no more tests but once a year should have a inspection for a small fee (a MOT but on vivs..if you will)

this is how i would like to see it done.....not just some fat old guy in a ofice saying 'ahh ummm give i £1500 and i will let you keep one' thats just silly.

look at me getting all wound up and i dont even want dwa near me

I see where you are coming from but there is a big problem with that. There is no set way to deal with DWA animals. What works for some could be dangerous for others. You can be given pointers and tips but as far as I can make out it would be pretty unwise telling everyone they must do it a certain way.

You keep bringing up this point of £1500 for a licence, what makes you think this is the price for keeping DWA? My licence and renewal fee is less than £100 a year, most councils are between the £100 - £300 range. Very few councils charge £500+ and those that do could very easily be challenged on charging to much and be taken to court to get the price reduced. They are only allowed to charge for the time is takes for them to process the licence.
