SIR - It is tragic how a little girl was killed by a dog, which was rapidly put down.

So were Jessica, Holly, PC Beshenivsky and other regularly reported killings, but do our Parliamentarians and the other fools, masquerading as the PC brigade, not think it is time to do the same to the mad dogs killing our own species daily?

No, they would rather they be sentenced to five or 15-year-to-life sentence and then freed to kill again.

This also adds to our ever increasing tax burden.

I conclude, our country has gone to the dogs.
