    Casting methods, slaughtering activities, hygiene practice and animal welfare of cattle-buffalo at local slaughter houses in Bangladesh2012In: Presented at the Eighteenth BSVER Annual Scientific Conference (BSVER ASCon XVIII) Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU). Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh, 18-19 February 2012, 2012, p. 34-35Conference paper (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    The study documented first time in Bangladesh of different locally practiced rope casting methods of Cattle-buffalo before slaughtering at local slaughter houses of six representative places of five different districts. The study also documented the most inhumane and primitive system of Cattle-buffalo transportation and handling in the abattoirs from both native and cross-border traded source. Animals were transported by driving on foot or in crowded truck for several days over harsh road without feed, water and adequate rest. We found that 89.06% animals were injured at sacral, ribs and shoulder area due to transportation in densely populated truck among 64 injured animals. It revealed that animals were slaughtered beside human toilet, road sides, unclean surface; and Dogs, Crows and Chickens easily entered at slaughter area. More than 21% animals were in very poor health condition and cachectic and 21.19% animals were injured and 11.25% animals had other clinical signs among 302 inspected animals. Diarrhoea was predominant other than injury (59.09%) and elevated body temp to the next (25%) and one pregnant animal also found to slaughter. We also detected six heavily injured and one highly exhausted lied animals just after unloading of truck by instant inspection at Cattle market. The research revealed that in Bangladesh Muslim Scholars permit conditional stunning before slaying but lack of facilities and information, humane slaughtering method is not practiced. Lack of implementation of the “Animal Slaughter and Meat Control Act”, absence or weak inspection of veterinarian increased unauthorized butcher-man and slaughter house; unhygienic, unsafe and lower quality meat production; animal welfare concern and zoonotic disease risk.

    Handling and Welfare of Bovine Livestock at Local Abattoirs in Bangladesh2014In: Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, ISSN 1088-8705, E-ISSN 1532-7604, Vol. 17, no 4, p. 340-353Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) allows rope casting and the tying of legs for nonhuman animals laughter without stunning. Thehandling and welfare of bovine livestock (Bosindicus and Bubalus bubalis) were studied in 8 local abattoirs in 5 districts of Bangladesh. A totalof 302 animals were evaluated. At the local abattoirs, approximately 1/3 of the cattle and water buffalo were eithere maciated orinjured/sick. The size and vigor of the animals determined the casting method. Small and weak animals were cast on concrete floors by lifting a foreleg followed by pushing, or simply by twisting the head of the animal and then binding the legs with rope. Vigorous animals such as buffalo were castusing ropes and human force. Bleeding was slow and flaying was sometimes initiated before the animals were unconscious. Pulling and tearing of the trachea and pouring of water into the exposed trache a shortly after cutting were also observed in some cases.The over all animal handling was unnecessarily rough and he OIE standards were not implemented. Animals are subjected to considerable mistreatment, and there is an urgent need for the training nde ducation of the staff in a battoirs concerning humanes laughtering practices as well as a need to build moderns laughtering plants in Bangladesh.

    Legal assessment of ingrown horns and other horn-related anomalies in cattle and sheep2024In: Animal Welfare, ISSN 0962-7286, Vol. 33, article id e4Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Cattle and sheep horns have the potential to grow in such a way that the horn bends toward the animal's head and, if left untreated, may penetrate the skin, causing pressure, pain, and suffering. According to the Swedish Animal Welfare Act, animals must be looked after in a way that prevents ingrown horns; otherwise, the person responsible for the animal may be prosecuted. Here, we present a review of 32 legal cases that occurred in Sweden between 2008 and 2022 for which the charge involved horn-related anomalies in cattle or sheep. The aim being to investigate the nature of these horn-related anomalies and the circumstances under which they occur. Of the legal cases, 53% were discovered during official animal welfare control on farms and 44% at an abattoir during pre-slaughter inspection. These include extreme injuries, e.g. both horns penetrating the periosteum into the skull bone, or a horn penetrating into the eye or oral cavity. The reasons offered by the accused for failing to detect animals with horn-related anomalies included that the animal appeared normal, that it was long-haired, shy, or hard to reach, or that the horns had not undergone gradual growth but had accidentally or suddenly penetrated the skin. Overall, 81% of the cases led to convictions; however, none of these resulted in imprisonment. Reasons for acquittals included insufficient crime description or evidence as to how the horn-related anomaly occurred or of the animal being exposed to suffering. A number of recommendations are provided that could help limit the occurrence of ingrown horns.

    A modified combined C-BARQ and QoL for both the companion dog and its owner. An embryo to a companion dog welfare measurement?2019In: Applied Animal Behaviour Science, ISSN 0168-1591, E-ISSN 1872-9045, Vol. 213, p. 91-106Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The results of this pilot study demonstrate that it is possible to construct a reliable questionnaire from prior validated surveys. This questionnaire displays possible suitability for further development into a tool for a comprehensive dog welfare assessment. The welfare model used is assuming that canine welfare consists of three major considerations, the dogs’ behavior, the dogs’ quality of life (QoL dog) and the owner’s quality of life as pertaining to being a dog owner (QoL Owner). A questionnaire was constructed and tested. Three different parts from reliable and validated sections of previous surveys were included: 1) a modified C-BARQ, 2) QoL for the dog, and 3) QoL owner. 185 satisfactory answers were obtained from the respondents, dog owners in Sweden, Canada and USA. Principal component factor analysis rendered 13 extracted factors similar to the original questionnaires, suggesting that the construct is valid. Eleven of the thirteen factors showed moderate internal consistency of Cronbach’s alpha >0.7, the remaining two factors were relatively low with Cronbach’s alpha >0.6.

    Several significant correlations between the extracted factors were found. Quality of life as a dog owner (QoL owner) was significantly affected by stress caused by dogs displaying fear, excitability and separation anxiety. No significant correlations were found between any factors describing aggressive behaviors and the dogs QoL or QoL owner. Several significant correlations were found between the extracted factors and the demographics, for instance, the Swedes are more active with their dogs compared to Americans and Canadians. Further investigations should be commenced to validate the results in a larger population.

    Antibiotic usage in 2013 on a dairy CAFO in NY State, USA2014In: Infection Ecology & Epidemiology, ISSN 2000-8686, E-ISSN 2000-8686, Vol. 4, p. Articel ID: 24259-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Antimicrobial resistance is threatening humans and animals worldwide. Biosecurity and 1-year usage of antibiotics on a dairy concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) in NY State, USA, were mapped: how much antibiotics were used, for what purpose, and whether any decrease could be warranted. Approximately 493 kg antibiotics was used, of which 376 kg was ionophores (monensin and lasalocides), 79 kg penicillin, 16.5 kg lincosamides, 8.0 kg aminoglycosides, 7.7 kg sulfamides, 3.4 kg cephalosporin, 2 kg macrolides, 0.7 kg amphenicols, and 0.1 kg fluoroquinolones. Usage reduction by 84% was realistic without compromising the animal welfare. Further reduction could be possible by improving the biosecurity and by utilizing antibiotic sensitivity testing.

    Exposure of Farm Laborers and Dairy Cattle to Formaldehyde from Footbath Use at a Dairy Farm in New York State2014In: Science of the Total Environment, ISSN 0048-9697, E-ISSN 1879-1026, Vol. 487, p. 65-71Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Formalin footbaths are commonly used in the dairy industry to prevent cattle hoof diseases. Although formalin is a well-documented disinfectant, it is also a carcinogen and irritant. The aim of this study was to estimate the exposure of farm workers and dairy cattle to formaldehyde from footbaths located in a milking facility and a heifer facility at a dairy farm in western New York, USA. The dairy farm included approximately 3900 dairy cattle including young stock; of these, 1670 cows were milked three times per day in a 60-stall carousel milking parlor, and approximately 800 heifers were located at the heifer facility where footbaths with formalin were in use. The formaldehyde concentration of the air was measured using a Formaldemeter™ htV approximately 50 cm above the 3% formalin footbaths in the milking (one footbath location) and heifer (three footbath locations) facilities on three consecutive days. The measured formaldehyde concentrations varied between 0.00 and 2.28 ppm, falling within the safety guidelines established by the Occupation Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) of the United States. Significant differences were found in the formaldehyde concentrations at the different footbath locations in the heifer facility, potentially due to the varying levels of ventilation at each location. Changes in the ambient temperature during the 3-day sampling period did not significantly affect the concentrations. We believe that the substantial ventilation at both the heifer and milking facilities ensured that the formaldehyde concentrations did not exceed OSHA guidelines, thus permitting the safe use of formalin footbaths in this farm.

    Effects of forest slash and burn on the distribution of trace elements in floodplain sediments and mountain soils of the Subandean Amazon, Peru2010In: Applied Geochemistry, ISSN 0883-2927, E-ISSN 1872-9134, Vol. 25, no 8, p. 1097-1106Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Forest clearing through slash and burn to open up agricultural land is an ongoing process in large parts of the Amazon Basin. This activity severely affects the structure and balance of the natural ecosystem, and also has the potential to cause substantial changes in landscape geochemistry. The latter is the topic of this study, with special attention on translocation of potentially toxic trace elements from deforested areas to downstream aquatic and terrestrial systems. Sampling of floodplain sediments and mountain soils (Inceptisols on redbed lithologies) was carried out in two adjacent Subandean river basins, with deforestation extents of ca. 1/3 and 2/3 of the basin areas. Several 'toxic and potentially toxic metals (e.g., Hg, Cd, Pb, Cu and Ni) and other major and minor elements showed concentration peaks at certain depths in the alluvial deposits of both basins. These peaks were associated with organic matter, and occurred just below layers of combustion residues originating from burning of in situ biomass. Downward migration of particles originating in the combustion residues is suggested to be the direct mechanisms of the metal enrichments. Further evidence of an in situ origin of the metal peaks in the sediments was provided by the geochemical composition of soils located upstream of the floodplains. Disturbed soils (i.e. soils of pasture, coffee plantations, secondary forest and recently swidden fields) were found to be similar to soils under natural forest. Moreover, trace element concentrations in floodplain deposits were similar in the two drainage basins despite the large difference in exploitation degree. Thus, no evidence was found of large scale (basin-wide) increases in trace-metal leaching or translocation as a result of the extensive deforestation and agricultural land-use that has been practiced in the Amazonian highland jungle over more than 100 a.

    Leaching of wood ash products aimed for spreading in forest floors: influence of method and L/S ratio2008In: Waste Management, ISSN 0956-053X, E-ISSN 1879-2456, Vol. 28, no 11, p. 2235-2244Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Use of biofuels in the form of logging residues is increasing in the European countries. This intensive forestry, where entire trees are removed from the felling sites, may contribute to a negative nutrient balance in the forest soil. Recycling of ash from the combustion of clean wood fuel, sometimes in combination with limestone or additives/binders, back into the forest soil could maintain the soil nutrient reservoir intact. Before spreading ash, it is important to determine its contents and, particularly, its decomposition pattern using reliabl laboratory leaching tests. In this study, mineralogy and the leaching of Na, Ca, K, Mg, Mn, Al, Cu, Fe, P, and Zn from wood ash pellets and granules, produced both from green liquor sludge and fly ash, are examined by XRD and by subjecting these substances to three different laboratory leaching tests: upflow percolation (CEN/TS 14405), batch leaching (SS-EN12457), and a new Swedish leaching test using a magnetic stirrer. Mineral phases such as quartz, ettringite, calcite, gehlenite, and aphtitalite were identified in the ash granules and in the ash/green liquor sludge granules, by means of XRD. Six additional minerals were detected in the granules of ash only, and another six in the ash/green liquor sludge granules. At L/S 2, the batch leaching test resulted in the highest amounts of elements leached and the upflow percolation test the lowest. At L/S 10, both the batch leaching test and the upflow percolation test resulted in high amounts of elements leached. The batch leaching test at L/S 10 complies quite well with the percolation test and could be suitable for ash/green liquor sludge granule evaluation in daily practice. The magnetic stirrer test seems to underestimate the release potential of elements from granules. The batch test is simple to perform, and has the ability to dissolve 70–80% of the elements with the highest mobility from the materials under study.

    Ash Products and Their Economic Profitability2013In: The Open Waste Management Journal, E-ISSN 1876-4002, Vol. 6, p. 1-5Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Sustainable whole-tree harvesting practice requires that nutrient removal from the forest is compensated. Woodashes contain all the nutrients, except for nitrogen, that are found in unburned fuel and can also increase soil pH, whichmakes ash recycling a natural way to stabilize the nutrient balance and counteract the acidification of forest soils thatoccurs due to intensive forest management. Several methods for processing ashes into spreadable products have beendeveloped. The aim of this paper is to compare these methods. The study mainly focused on an economic evaluation ofproduction, transportation and the spreading of self-hardened ash, ash pellets and ash granules. Self-hardened ash isgenerally considered to be the cheapest alternative to manufactured ash products, but these results imply that the most costeffective alternative is ash pellets. Around 27% of total costs could be earned from recycling the ash by producing pelletsand 8% if granules are produced instead of self-hardened ash. This partly depends on the higher density of the pellets andgranules and a significant reduction in the number of transportation operations. The reduction in transportation operationsand diesel consumption also has major environmental benefits. Furthermore, it is more efficient to produce granules andpellets than it is to produce self-hardened ash and it is also easier to produce a reliable product of an appropriate size,shape and texture for a market that has well defined requirements.

    Canines seized by the Swedish Police Authority in 2015–20162019In: Forensic Science International, ISSN 0379-0738, E-ISSN 1872-6283, Vol. 296, p. 101-109Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The inspection protocols of the Swedish police, based on the Act (2007:1150) on Supervision of Dogs and Cats, were used to examine the characteristics of 101 seized dogs, their owners, and the circumstances in which the attacks occurred. Most common reasons to seize a dog was that the dog owner was not following a previous order or ban, or that the dog had attacked and caused damage to humans or animals. The most common circumstances of the attacks involved dogs that escaped from gardens, unleashed dogs on walks and attacks by dogs on a leash. Bull breeds caused the highest number of injuries, the most serious injuries, and they were most often categorized as high risk, followed by Rottweilers and German Shepherds. Affenpinscher, Chihuahua, Cocker Spaniel, Japanese Spitz, Pug, Shih Tzu, Shetland Sheepdog and Golden Retriever were identified as victim breeds. The seized dogs had caused substantial harm to humans, animals, and their environment. The largest proportion of dogs returned to owners occurred in the Stockholm region.

    Pitbullterrier som djurskyddsproblem2015Other (Other academic)
    Abstract [sv]

    I analysen ”Pitbullterrier som djurskyddsproblem” går JP Infonets expert Sirkku Sarenbo, universitetslektor, docent och ansvarig för påbyggnadsutbildningen i djurskydd vid Linnéuniversitetet i Kalmar, igenom anledningen till varför en pitbullterrier/american staffordshire terrier plötsligt kan visa aggressivt beteende. Författaren använder konkreta exempel för att illustrera varför pitbullterriern/american staffordshire terriern utgör ett djurskyddsproblem mot andra hundar och för sin egen del.

    Författaren menar att när en pitbullterrier plötsligt angriper och dödar en annan hund är det ett förväntat beteende och kan därför inte anses som en olyckshändelse eller ett oväntat beteende, som ofta görs gällande i rätten. Därför, menar författaren, utgör pitbullterriern ett allvarligt och förbisett djurskyddsproblem mot andra hundar och för sin egen del. Denna analys finns publicerad i JP Djurnet.

    Wood ash dilemma - reduced quality due to poor combustion performance2009In: Biomass and Bioenergy, ISSN 0961-9534, E-ISSN 1873-2909, Vol. 33, no 9, p. 1212-1220Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Recycling of wood ash is based on the presumption that moderate concentrations of environmentally harmful elements are a part of the nutrient cycle and do not increase in net concentrations in the forest soil. It is assumed that the same quantities of harmful elements are harvested from the forest and recycled back. This principle does not apply to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) since these pollutants are formed during the combustion process, especially when the combustion performance is poor. Additionally, industrial combustors are adjusted in order to reduce NO(x)-emissions, indirectly causing formation of PAHs. This study examined fly ash from combustion of pulverized wood for its elemental and PAH concentrations during a period of 9 weeks. The 16 EPA-PAH concentrations range between 40 and 300 mg kg(-1). Re-burning of the ash reduces the PAH concentrations to 0.24 mg kg(-1) and organic carbon concentration from 40% to 5%, enhancing its composition significantly. It is important to determine the amount and fate of PAHs spread on forest soils with wood ash to ensure the improvement of the health of the forest ecosystem. Maximized energy efficiency of industrial boilers is the key to reducing anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and enabling a sustainable nutrient recycling system. (C) 2009 Elsevier Ltd.

    Är hundhållningsreglerna i lokala ordningsföreskrifter tids- och lagenliga samt anpassade efter lokala förhållanden?2019In: Förvaltningsrättslig Tidskrift, ISSN 0015-8585, no 3, p. 369-397Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [sv]

    Majoriteten av svenska kommuner har meddelat regler om hundhållning i sina lokala ordningsföreskrifter, regler som syftar till att upprätthålla ordning och säkerhet på allmän plats. Dessa regler ska vara mer detaljerade än vad som föreskrivs i lagen, och geografiskt begränsade till områden där de behövs. I arbetet granskas de lokala ordningsreglerna om hundhållning. Flera lokala ordningsföreskrifter hänvisar till upphävda författningar. De har inte alltid kontrollerats av den ansvariga myndigheten och upptar förhållanden som regleras i andra författningar. Det finns fler föreskrifter som är innehållsmässigt identiska än sådana som enbart anger lokala förhållanden. Kopplingstvång på offentliga platser har utfärdats i 56 % av kommunerna. Mot bakgrund av senaste årens stora antal anmälda hundangrepp och ändringar i hundpopulationens struktur kan generella kopplingstvång vara motiverade i fler kommuner. Reglerna är ibland otydliga och felaktiga. Det hade varit befogat att utreda huruvida de lokala reglerna kunnat åter ersättas med en generell normalstadga i ordningslagen.

    Reactivity and Leaching of Wood Ash Pellets Dehydrated by Hot Air and Flue Gas2009In: The Open Waste Management Journal, E-ISSN 1876-4002, Vol. 2, no 8, p. 47-54Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Companies that generate a large amount of wood ash will need an industrial process to agglomerate the ash and lower its reactivity, because untreated ash is a dust hazard for workers and is difficult to spread evenly on forest soil. In addition, untreated ash can cause burning damage to vegetation owing to its alkalinity and rapid release of salts. Production of large amounts of wood ash agglomerates demands an effective dehydration process. The reactivity and release of inorganic constituents from wood ash pellets dehydrated at room temperature using hot air and flue gas was investigated. Our results imply that flue gas-treated pellets have significantly lower reactivity in terms of pH and electrical conductivity, and release less Ca2+ and more Mg2+ compared to pellets dried at room temperature or in hot air. Ash pellets dehydrated in hot air are very reactive, and release more Ca2+ than pellets dried in other ways. The formation of syngenite during the flue-gas treatment decreases K+ release from the ash pellets.

    En första kriminologisk inblick i lagen (2007:1150) om tillsyn över hundar och katter.: Anmälnings-, besluts- och lagföringsstatistik samt demografi över hundar och hundägare i Sverige2023In: Nordisk Tidsskrift for Kriminalvidenskab, ISSN 0029-1528, Vol. 110, no 2, p. 176-200Article in journal (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    We present a first criminological insight into the Act (2007:1150) on the supervision of dogs and cats in terms of reporting and prosecution statistics, against the background of statistics on authority decisions based on this law, appeals of authority decisions and statistics from Folksam and the central dog register of the Swedish Board of  Agriculture. The number of prosecutions under the Supervision Act in the district courts is 30-46 prosecutions per year between 2004 and 2021. Women account for 65% of dog ownership and for 42% of offenses against the Supervision Act. The proportion of reports received that led to a decision by the County Administrative Boards varied from zero to approx. 30% in 2020 and 2021. Of the 13 persons who died due to dog-related injuries 1998-2021 seven were women, in the age groups 45 and older, while of 6 180 patients who required inpatient care for dog-related injuries 2001-2021 made up 648 children of 0-4 years old.Introduction of the current Supervision Act in 2008 resulted in an increased load on administrative courts, while  criminal cases in the district courts have been at about the same level as before. Transfer of responsibility for the Supervision Act from the Swedish Police Authority to the County Administrative Boards in 2018 increased the workload of the administrative courts even more. The criminal cases that are settled in the district courts no longer deal with first-time incidents where bite-prone dogs have caused property or personal damage or considerable inconvenience, but recurrences where society already had intervened through authority decisions, reflecting ineffectiveness of authority decisions based on the law. Not to criminalize Section 1 of the Supervision Act and transfer of responsibility for the law from the Swedish Police Authority to the County Admi- ESSAY nistrative boards have reduced the burden on the Police Authority and the district courts at the expense of an increased burden on the County Administrative boards and the administrative courts. The question is what, from a socio-economic perspective, is the best solution to  approach the problem of dangerous dogs.

    Bitten or struck by dog: a rising number of fatalities in Europe, 1995 – 20162021In: Forensic Science International, ISSN 0379-0738, E-ISSN 1872-6283, Vol. 318, p. 1-7, article id 110592Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We analyzed fatal dog attacks in Europe 1995-2016 using official death cause data from Eurostat. The data comprised the number of fatalities assigned The International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, Tenth Revision (ICD-10) code W54 "bitten or struck by dog", which includes deaths due to direct attacks but which excludes many complications following dog bites, such as rabies. In 2016, dogs killed 45 Europeans, which translates to an incidence of 0.009 per 100,000 inhabitants. This is comparable to estimates from the USA (0.011), and Canada (0.007), but higher than Australia (0.004). The number of European fatalities due to dog attacks increased significantly at a rate of several percent per year. This increase could not be explained by increases in the human or the dog populations. By taking all fatalities reported 1995-2016 into account, we investigated the effects of age, gender and geography. First, children, including infants, were common victims, but also middle-aged and the elderly, while people between ages 10 and 39 were rarely killed by dogs. Second, boys and men were overrepresented, but only in certain age groups and in certain parts of Europe. Third, there were large national and regional differences, both in the effects of gender and in incidences, which ranged from 0 to 0.045 per 100,000 inhabitants. This study of dog-related fatalities at a European level is the first of its kind and forms a basis for more detailed, national studies.

    Abstract [sv]

    Kompendiet riktar sig i första hand till studenter på djurskyddskurserna, men kan också vara av intresse för myndigheter som handlägger djurskyddsärenden och/eller ärenden enligt lagen (2007:1150) om tillsyn över hundar och katter. Den första upplagan uppkom med anledning av de många ändringarna i lagstiftningen samt i ansvarsfördelningen i vissa frågor som berör djur. Länsstyrelsen övertog bl. a. huvudmannaskapet av lagen (2007:1150) om tillsyn över hundar och katter från Polismyndigheten 1 juni 2018. Länsstyrelsen i Norrbottens län bemyndigades meddela de föreskrifter som behövs för verkställigheten av de uppgifter som länsstyrelserna ska utföra enligt lagen (2007:1150) om tillsyn över hundar och katter. Den 18 juni 2018 började Länsstyrelsen i Norrbottens läns föreskrifter till lagen (2007:1150) om tillsyn över hundar och katter 2018:29 gälla.

    Dog Owners' Supervising Duty and Criminal Negligence – A critical review of two judgments by Swedish Courts of Appeal2021In: Forensic Science International: Animals and Environments, E-ISSN 2666-9374, Vol. 1, article id 100031Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this article is to show difficulties arising when courts judge the negligence of dog owners in absence of precise legislation and typical precedents. We analyze the elements of a crime in two cases where children were objects of canine aggression, and show how the courts constructed the issue of dog owners’ negligence. In Case 1 the Court of Appeal found that a foster parent was not negligent when leaving a boy with specific needs alone with a heavily built dog that then repeatedly bit the boy to death despite the owners attempt to pull away the dog. The court also ignored the signs of substandard animal husbandry including previous severe incidents where the dog owner also was injured. In Case 2, the Court of Appeal instead found that the breed of the dog also matter, and that not even adult presence is enough to protect a child from dog attack. Because both the child and the dog could behave unpredictably, continuous observation and supervision was required. In both cases, measures to prevent the incident were available and would have been easy to carry out.
