Dog attacks

Jump to new
Did you have to "catch" the dogs yourself with that pen? Surely if you were able to catch the dogs like that, then the council could have seeing as though its their job. I would be a little concerned with doing something like that personally. This area is a lower socioeconomic area and I wouldnt put it past some people retaliating if they found out who was doing it. Unfortunately the intellect of some people around here is a little lacking.
 
Reports keep coming, here is another one -

From ABC, 21 Jan. 09
Baby attacked by dog
A baby has been attacked by a dog at Moorooka on Brisbane's southside.
Emergency Services say the 10-month-old girl suffered puncture wounds to her hands, arms and face in the attack at around 1:30pm today.
She was taken the Mater Children's Hospital in a stable condition.

To me just looks like friendly reminder of pecking order.

If dogs cannot have guards on their killing weapons, at least people could be more educated on wolf’s psychology.
 
It's just the same as with swimming pools. Little kids should never, ever be left unsupervised around water or dogs, any dogs.

Some children drown in pools. Unsupervised. Government response is that all pools will have to have regular inspections, probably $300 per time.

Soon there will be a cry for all dogs to be muzzled or banned from homes where there are children, or something equally as much of an overreaction.

If parents take responsibility we don't have a problem. End of story.

Overreaction? kids have been killed, I dont see anything that will stop that as an overreaction.

Parents take reponsibility

Sorry. I should have said "inappropriate reaction". The overreaction was more in terms of the swimming pool check thing.

Well they should do something along the lines of gun control with dogs you cant expect people to act responsibly because they just don't.

no problems catching the dogs, just trying to stop the pack from attacking my dog every day, most days there were about 8 - 10.. the worst time was about 18 or so, i wouldnt go out against a pack that size,, when you follow the pack in a car they split up, turn chicken and head for their homes.. you keep talking to them as you drive along, they get used to you, you just say here boy or here girl,, you dont need names.. piece of cake.. i as i said i got a few dogs twice..

i was in a low socioeconomic area in brisbane when it happened, and i wouldnt give it **** about the owners not caring for their dogs, i was tryign to keep my mutt alive.. i couldnt afford any more vet bills. one ear on my dog was practically not attached when i got real pissed.. the owners could rot in hell for all i cared.. never gave it a second thought and do it again if careless owners just let their dogs go all day rather than keep them in a yard, as i said, i couldnt afford it..

yep i saw a few of the owners, and none said anything to me about it.. perhaps they didnt think it wise hey ;) . told one guy i would keep it going until he stopped his dog from going after mine.. having a dog is one thing, understanding it and caring for it and knowing how to keep one mentally fit as well as physically fit is something few do well imho.. i have seen a lot of basket cases

i had two rotties that later i found out belonged to a copper across the road and up the hill a fair way.. (ex drug squad guy and yes he was on leave whilst the QLD fitzgerald inquiry was happening) his two, a bitch and her daughter stalked me on night, i saw them running in the shadows across the empty blocks in the estate, anyway i lost track of them and i noticed my dog really getting sh*t scared,, these two rotties were real good. i felt i heard something behind me and spun around and saw both of them coming up behind and coming in for the kill..

never been that terrified before.. i grabbed the lead and was ready to unclip my dog so he could run off.. i shouted at both of the dogs, kept shouting as loud and as aggressive as i could " sit, sit lay lay.. " they both hit the raod and lay down for a moment, confused.. then they were concerned by me bluffing and coming for them and ran off.. found out where they lived by following them, then made a real aggressive late night call on the owners (then i found out he was a copper and told me to pull my head in) but he did believe me and put them in the yard from then on. he had no idea they were attacking people..

Exactly Mr Burns, dogs should be banned full stop. They are a menace and at best only small ones allowed to breed for pets.

I completely disagree. There is no reason why big dogs cannot be properly trained. It's all about responsible ownership. I know where my dog is every minute. Little dogs offer no protection to their owners and are often irritatingly yappy.

One of my dogs literally saved my life. I will never, ever be without a dog, and that dog will be a German Shepherd for as long as possible.
 
MAN ATTACKED BY DOG IN SYDNEY'S WEST
From Nine MSN 06:11 AEST Mon Aug 31 2009

A man is expected to undergo surgery after being attacked by his dog, which bit him on his face, groin and leg.
The 34-year-old man was attacked by his family dog, believed to be a pit-bull terrier, in the backyard of his Whitford Road home in Green Valley, in Sydney's west, about 10pm (AEST) on Sunday.
Police believe the dog turned on the man when he tried to remove it from an enclosed pergola in the backyard.
He was left with bites to his mouth, groin and left leg.
His wife and six children, aged two to 13 years, were home at the time.
The man managed to call emergency services and is expected to have surgery at Liverpool Hospital.
The dog was removed from the home and will be destroyed, police said.

Somehow this attack doesn’t make me as mad as other attacks, but again why don’t we make muzzle compulsory on certain breeds if we cannot make them extinct?

I assume you are happy with that sentiment as long as "they" are controlling the things you agree with them controlling, other then that you would take it as an afront ?

What about cycling deaths from cars, I would like to see all Cars banned, "you can't expect drivers to act responsibly because they just don't."
 
on the flip side


A beloved family pet was bashed against a letterbox, thrown to the ground and may have been stabbed in a brutal West Perth attack.

Police and the RSPCA today launched an appeal for information into the death of Papillon dog 'Tim', who was snatched from the family's front yard about 4.35pm on September 3 and killed.

The owners were too distraught to speak publicly today but issued a photo as authorities launched their appeal.

The brutal nature of the attack has prompted police to issue a warning about the person responsible. In a media statement, police said they had concerns that the attacker may react unpredictably.

'Tim' was taken to a neighbour's house after he was snatched from the front yard of the Carr Street home before being bashed.

Officers today urged anyone who noticed suspicious activity in the area, in particular a woman who may have been of Asian descent who was at a nearby bus stop near the intersection of Charles and Carr Streets, to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

That woman was last seen boarding the 402 bus to Perth about the time of the attack.

Sickos like this need to be locked away for good.

It's been proven that people who do this sort of thing to animals can do the same to people.

Agree Nun, Dexter comes to mind.

Dexter

Hiding beneath the mundane exterior and contrived façade of Dexter, a charming blood spatter expert for the Miami Police Department, is an obsession with meting his own twisted brand of justice: stalking and murdering the guilty.

I would usually interpret this as sarcasm, but Julia's response makes me unsure - are you serious?

People seem to be under the illusion that animals will simply obey them :rolleyes:. I would guess almost all of this comes down to irresponsible owners or victims. Dogs are rarely the problem. I'd say most people are irresponsible owners, as most see dogs as 'pets' rather than an extension of the pack. They're not toys.
