    Let me get this straight, a dog (predator) kills a rabbit (prey animal) and this is somehow unnatural and illegal? This somehow equals the dog being labeled “dangerous”? To whom? Rabbits?

    Sure it’s sad that it killed someone’s pet, but does the dog or the woman deserve to be charged with anything? Why am I not surprised this is happening in the UK?
