Erny Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I think I must be tired. Where is the survey link found? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpette Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Erny right hand side, look for a bright yellow box with dangerous dogs symbol. This is the first question and it has me concerned. If a stray dog is suspected by a council officer to be a danger to the public by virtue of its size, breed or disposition and it is also not registered – should councils have the power to immediately size and destroy the dog?

Erny Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Erny right hand side, look for a bright yellow box with dangerous dogs symbol.This is the first question and it has me concerned. If a stray dog is suspected by a council officer to be a danger to the public by virtue of its size, breed or disposition and it is also not registered – should councils have the power to immediately size and destroy the dog? Agree, Grumpette. I went to that and decided it was a bit of a loaded question. I am not prepared to endorse approval of power to a council officer to have a dog destroyed because some Council Officer 'thinks' it might be a danger because it is big; or because the Council Officer has been coached (brain washed) in Breed Specific Legislation. And what of the words "by virtue of its disposition" ??? What "disposition" are they talking about? I may even answer the question in a similar vein to what I've just said. But I decided it is too late for me to put proper thought into it so I'll re-address this (and the other questions) again tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arrow Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Thanks Gundoglover, while some of the questions were somewhat loaded, I completed the survey and made some suggestions. It took me a while to do though ('cos I'm a slow thinker) it's just as well that I'm on holidays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mutt lover Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Filled in survey as I did 11 years ago after I had a dog killed in dog attack and doubt now if any changes will be made, but did put forward some suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandgrubber Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Completed the survey. I think everyone needs to stand up for the idea that a dog should not be condemned to death (or confinement as 'dangerous') without a fair trial. I'm reminded of a recent local story where dog bit child and got the green needle. After the lethal dose was administered they discovered that the poor dog's ear was full of staples . . . it bit the kid only as a last resort in attempt to escape torture. Mindless slinging of the 'dangerous' label helps neither dogs, nor people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Rottweiler Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 Honestly, I found the survey to be quite repugnant. Although I think its great that we get to have say...how far does that really stretch? I agree with you Erny about the questions being loaded...i just found the whole survey that way! I hope as many people that can will make the time to fill this survey out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WreckitWhippet Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The questions are loaded but those with half a brain can break them down and answer beyond the simple yes/no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spottychick Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I added lots of stuff about people abusing dogs eg suggested that Vets be asked to report any dog abuse cases they encounter to the authorities. :D Also that instead of running around destroying every dog they come across maybe councils etc should be looking at imposing AND ENFORCING decent penalties on the OWNERS who neglect their animals and create dangerous dogs (of all breeds) in the first place. Sorry - couldn't help myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herr Rottweiler Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 The questions are loaded but those with half a brain can break them down and answer beyond the simple yes/no We probably wouldnt be doing surveys like this is most people were fortunate to have half a brain. Especially most of our elected governments and councils :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr R & NR Posted January 18, 2010 Share Posted January 18, 2010 I have completed it but also found it totally repugnant. At least you didn't have to only select yes or no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
