In response to the case of Snoop, a dog seized under BSL last year, and the terrible state he was returned home in, Surrey Police have now changed their policy to allow dogs to remain at home whilst in custody.
Snoop was returned to his owners very thin and with a bleeding tail.
This change in policy is a great step forward in BSL as the trauma of staying away from home, in kennels, with strangers and under harsh observation, I believe can give critical changes in a dog's natural behaviour, and many dogs of any breed would feel threatened and heighten how "dangerous" they are.
Snoop, before and after he was seized. This treatment of any animal is out of order.
In the recent case of Ralph and Louie, this has been used as evidence for them to be returned to their owners until trail, and I believe this has happened, with the side aspect that the owner has had to admit one its type, at least this is what I gather from the facebook page.
