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.
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.
, since when will that even be a remote possibility ?Parents take reponsibility
Sorry. I should have said "inappropriate reaction". The overreaction was more in terms of the swimming pool check thing.Overreaction? kids have been killed, I dont see anything that will stop that as an overreaction.

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.

A man killed one with a pocket knife to stop an attack.
Exactly Mr Burns, dogs should be banned full stop. They are a menace and at best only small ones allowed to breed for pets.The owners ought to be jailed, it's like letting a loaded gun loose (if it could fire itself of course)
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.Exactly Mr Burns, dogs should be banned full stop. They are a menace and at best only small ones allowed to breed for pets.

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.
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.
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.
on the flip side
what kind of sick #$%^&%$ does this kind of stuff ????
sad sad world
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.
yep
prefer an eye for an eye situation in matters like these and other acts of gross brutality
but thats for another private thought..............
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.
Exactly Mr Burns, dogs should be banned full stop. They are a menace and at best only small ones allowed to breed for pets.
If dogs cannot have guards on their killing weapons, at least people could be more educated on wolf’s psychology.
