I probably don't know enough to give a properly formed opinion, but the current law strikes me as a pretty vibes based bit of legislation so on principle I don't have an issue with it's repeal. However, that link doesn't give any details on the proposed alternative or how you then control for an influx of breaders (responsible or irresponsible) from flooding the market to owners (clueless or cunts).
Basic Googling shows that dog bites come from a range of dogs. For e.g these figs compiled by an insurance company from Merseyside Police.
- Jack Russell
- Staffordshire Bull Terrier
- Pitt Bull Terrier
- German Shepherd
- Rottweiler
The wiki page on deaths unsurprisingly shows that the dogs that kill humans tend to be powerful dogs originally bread for fucking livings things up.
... so I guess I return to my original point that I doubt many owners can control a powerful dog on a mission. So I'd also be inclined to licence certain dogs based on some sort of weight and power formula.

Basic Googling shows that dog bites come from a range of dogs.
An expert on dog-human interaction and dog bite attacks says that all dogs are a risk. The evidence suggests that all dog breads are a similar risk of aggressive behaviour, the only variation between breeds is that bigger dogs can do more harm.
Another issue is that owners tend more and more to have their dogs in all areas of the home increasing the risk of harm to children, again regardless of breed.
