Calls for death of Corgi killer

THE Princess Royal’s English bull terrier should probably be put down after it savaged one of the Queen’s corgis, the RSPCA said yesterday.

The Queen was said to be “absolutely devastated” after her corgi Pharos had to be destroyed following the attack just before Christmas.

The Princess’s bull terrier Dotty also attacked two children in Windsor Great Park in November last year.

The RSPCA, whose patron is the Queen, said its standard policy was for a dog to be put down, as the safest option, following a second serious attack.

“If we were involved in the case, putting the animal down would be a seriously considered option.”

She added: “If a dog nips someone or a pet but causes no harm, you can almost forgive it.

“But if the dog bites a child, jogger or another human being and then the same dog goes on to kill another dog, chances are, given we knew the full circumstances and we were involved in the case, that we would recommend that the dog is put down as the safest option.”
