Using Your Head

(Fox News) - Police officials in North Wales are training their dogs to head butt criminals — instead of biting them — because supervisors fear biting will violate the human rights of the suspects.

K-9 magazine writes the policy comes following increased compensation claims by suspects bitten by police dogs. So now the dogs will be muzzled and trained to launch themselves like missiles at the midsection of their targets.

One retired police dog handler says it all sounds like political correctness and could be counterproductive if the public assumes the dogs are being muzzled because they are dangerous.
