"Shock figures reveal the menace of out of control dogs"

"Shock figures reveal the menace of out of control dogs" was today's front page headline in the Evening Standard.

And then, later in the same article it says "the number of dangerous dogs seized by police fell from a peak in 2009/2010.."

So less out of control than 5 years ago, then?

And this in the context of a headline from the same august journal almost exactly a year ago (11 May 2014), which said "Huge rise in number of dangerous dogs seized, figures show".

But still less than in 2009/10. You've lost me now.
