Government told to ban more breeds
Last Updated: 2:06am GMT 30/12/2007
The Government is facing calls to review the Dangerous Dogs Act, which was introduced after a spate of attacks by "devil dogs".
The law, imposed in 1991, outlawed four breeds as pets - but rottweilers were not one of them.
The banned breeds were pit bull terriers, Japanese Tosa, Dogo Argentino and Fila Brasileiro.
The Liberal Democrats said yesterday the law was not working and that other potentially dangerous breeds may need to be added to the list, or owners may need to be licensed.
The Government said, however, that it had no plans to amend the legislation or add rottweilers to the list of banned breeds
Chris Huhne, the Lib Dem home affairs spokesman, said: "A review should look at the breeds to be banned."
