The new law gives councils greater powers to impose penalties, with a focus on the "deed and not the breed" of the dog.

Uh huh. All well and good but when the courts still make a raving cockup of everything they touch all the laws in the land won't make the slightest bit of difference.
My particular favourite was one particularly nasty piece of work had a dog which was given a destruction order. He asked for a week to have it at home before it got the needle. Lo and behold when it came time for the dog to get put down Mr Ned claimed it had run away which was accepted by the courts. Needless to say the dog found its way home a day or so later
