AdvertisementThe Oxford-educated QC who was in charge of the dog that savaged Freddie the seal says she has spoken to the police and the RSPCA who told her no crime has been committed. Meanwhile, earlier this year a dog owner was fined £500 after their Irish setter puppy mauled a deer in Richmond Park. However, a recent survey of dog owners commissioned by insurers NFU Mutual in January 2021 revealed that 64 per cent of dog owners are letting their pets roam free in the countryside, despite half of owners surveyed admitting their dog doesn't always come back when called. A 25-year-old woman also tragically died after a dog attack in Kitts Green on February 5 2021. Animal lovers who were appalled by the attack have taken to social media to criticise the dog's owner.
