Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

I have two dogs.
And your dog has never acted on its prey drive? Never chased a squirrel or a rabbit even? If a big dog decides you’re prey, this is what happens. Not sure why you think pretending otherwise is a good idea.
No, they didn't.
So obviously nobody else could ever have a different experience than you!
All domestic dogs still have a prey drive. Its why they shake toys etc.
They did after all decend from an ancestor in common with wolve s. But approx 11k years of breeding has diminished the drive in some breeds. Ment to be companion dogs etc. Amd increased in in others. Mainly fighting dogs.
But while much of that breeding is intentional. You cannot garrentee a breed has a set level. Breeding is just not that accurate.
But as a genral rule of thumb. Some breeds take more work to keep that drive under control then others. Add the effort to breed large muscular dogs for fighting or sales. And some dogs can be as risky as any other carnivore species.
