Good evening. If you live on Merseyside, xou are

:00:12.:00:16.

almost five times more likely to end up in hospital after being `ttacked

:00:17.:00:20.

by a dog ` than in some parts of the south of England. That's according

:00:21.:00:23.

to new figures. Despite Polhce on Merseyside launching a camp`ign last

:00:24.:00:26.

year to tackle dangerous dogs ` the number of injuries has incrdased.

:00:27.:00:29.

Now experts are calling on the Government to do more to help. Nina

Warhurst reports. A person, Elio Lawrence, John Paul Massey, life was

:00:40.:00:49.

because they were attacked by dogs. The number of attacks in thhs region

:00:50.:00:53.

are going up. At this hospital they see at least one every day `nd what

:00:54.:00:58.

is more frightening is the reason. Some of these dogs, especially the

:00:59.:01:02.

dangers police, are almost being used as status symbols and `s

:01:03.:01:11.

protective weapons as opposdd to knives and guns. Merseyside has the

:01:12.:01:16.

highest rate of hospital adlissions due to dog attacks in the country.

:01:17.:01:21.

24 for every 100,000 people. In greater Manchester the figure is

:01:22.:01:27.

high, two, 17 per 100,000. Compare that to Surrey and Sussex, ht is

:01:28.:01:32.

seven for every 100,000 and in Kent is justified. You are the thmes more

:01:33.:01:38.

likely to be attacked by a dog if you live in a socially deprhved

:01:39.:01:42.

area. Experts say this comes as no surprise. What is surprising is how

:01:43.:01:48.

little is being done. What we need is evidence that allows us to

:01:49.:01:52.

introduce legislation or edtcational plans that will combat this problem.

:01:53.:01:56.

We do not have that at the loment. We have a lot of ideas, but really

:01:57.:02:02.

no good evidence. Last year Merseyside police once the lajor

:02:03.:02:05.

campaign to cut down on dog attacks but the numbers have gone up. Today

:02:06.:02:11.

he called us officers from our specialist dog unit regularly meet

:02:12.:02:16.

:02:17.:02:20.

dangerous dogs. Relatives of all of these victims have said thex called

their family with his death. Margaret Aspinall was paying tribute

:02:38.:02:40.

to her 18`year`old son James at the new Hillsborough inquests in

:02:41.:02:42.

Warrington. Another relativd described how she wished shd'd been

:02:43.:02:46.

able to hold her father's h`nd as he lay on the pitch. Andy Gill reports.

:02:47.:02:54.

Margaret, very well`known a campaigner, but today she spoke

:02:55.:03:00.

simply as a mother. She said her husband was at the match and had to

:03:01.:03:06.

what as the wife of her elddst son disappeared in harrowing

:03:07.:03:09.

circumstances. Margaret's tribute was read to the court by her son,

:03:10.:03:17.

David. A darkness fell over our family and it is only being here now

:03:18.:03:21.

and being able to describe what a decent human being James was that

has finally given our familx chartered flight. We have a powerful
