Trac,

i have already offered advise on the issue, so have others, bottom line is that YOU are the only one who can take action, i deal with similar situations everyday, it obviously will be a little different in your area, check your local Council/ (Shire or whatever you call it there) for Dog Acts, if they cannot or won't help go to the local media with your complaint, stir up some action!!

Cheers

Lead or not this does not sound as being "under control". Hope you get something done about this idiot of a woman. :rant:

Hi Trac,

I am a General Inspector with Council, which includes Dog & Cat Management.

This owner & dog are commiting an offence even though the dog is on a lead and muzzled it is not under 'effective"control and has harassed your son, I would issue a $210.00 fine for the offence under the Dog & Cat Magagement Act 1995 which states Attack, "harass" or chase a person. animal or bird.

I would be making a formal complaint, in writing to the Council, I would also take a camera with me to school and discreetly photograph the dogs actions to include with the complaint.

Hope this helps,

Native.

My son was attacked by a dog in July last year, the dog was on a long piece of rope, tied to a van, in a public area (he was at banger racing with his dad) the owner was a marshal so no where near his dog and unable of being fully in control.

 

My son approched the dog and it jumped up and bit him on the face, it took a chunk out of his cheek

 

I have just been told by CPS c/o the police, that they wont press charges as there is no case to answer, and the dog was tied up and was approched by my son so it was his fault

 

Would the answer have been the same if he had been killed? or if it was a small toddler? Those who saw the pictures know how horrible it was for him

Trac,

from what i have experienced the Police direct all dog complaints to the Council, we have a 24hr service for animal control, emergencies are attended straight away( i have been called out all hours of the night) on many occasions i have required Police assistance, or the Police have called for my assistance, it may be different where you are. The police in Sth Australia have full RSPCA powers, I do not, so if I need to enter a house or locked yard to rescue an abandon animal or seize a distressed dog/animal the Police attend. We work together.

As an Animal Control Officer I have the power to seize a dog if I deem the dog to be a danger. As i said it may be different in your Country. Make all the enquiries you can.
