Pitbulls should rightly be banned from human society, or at the very least be treated with the same restrictions as any vicious wild animal. err, i think he said he has a huntaway not a pit bull.

They must greet the dog in a calm respectful manner. easy !! HAHAHAHAHAHA. Classic. I'll send you our toddler for a week, you train him and send him back will you. LMFAO.	Metla (12)

"Dangerous" dogs Local councils will classify a dog as "dangerous" if: * its owner has a conviction for the dog rushing at or startling a person or animal, or rushing at a vehicle (for this offence see below "Dogs rushing at people, animals or vehicles"), or * the council believes the dog is a threat to people, stock, poultry, domestic animals or protected wildlife, on the basis of reasonable grounds and sworn evidence of aggressive behaviour, or * the owner has admitted the dog is dangerous If your dog is classified as dangerous, the council must give you written notice of this. You then have the opportunity to object in writing. The owner has one month after getting the notice of classification to make sure that the dog is kept within a securely fenced part of the owner’s property. This fenced area must be one that does not need to be entered in order to get to the house. The owner must also keep the dog muzzled and leashed whenever out in public, although the dog need only be muzzled and not leashed if it’s in a council-designated dog exercise area. (These requirements apply also if the owner knows that the dog is dangerous or that it has attacked people, animals or property, even if the dog hasn’t been classified as dangerous.) The owner of a dog classified as dangerous must also get the dog neutered, and cannot give or sell the dog to anyone else without the council’s written consent. Owners who fail to comply with these requirements relating to dangerous dogs can be fined up to $3,000. The dog must also be destroyed unless the circumstances are exceptional. "Menacing" dogs Dogs that haven’t been classified as dangerous may be classified as "menacing" if the council thinks they are a threat to people, stock, poultry, domestic animals or protected wildlife, on the basis of any observed or reported behaviour of the dog or on the basis of any characteristics typically associated with the dog’s breed or type. This is a new classification introduced by the DOG CONTROL AMENDMENT ACT 2003. Dogs must be classified as "menacing" if they belong, wholly or predominantly, to one of the following breeds: American Pit Bull Terrier, Dogo Argentina, Brazilian Fila or Japanese Toza. If your dog is classified as "menacing", the council must give you written notice of this. You then have the opportunity to object in writing. You must keep the dog muzzled whenever it’s in a public place or on someone else’s property. But it doesn’t have to be leashed as well (unlike a "dangerous" dog). Local councils can also require menacing dogs to be neutered. Owners who fail to comply with requirements as to menacing dogs can be fined up to $3,000.	jonp (7517)

Fortunately the house has just sold and the animals will be moving on. Anyway: One memeber of the family proudly proclaimed to me that the ***** had killed so many cats that there is not enough room to put notches on her collar; The property is well fenced, but some members of the family are lax when it comes to closing gates and there are vehicles in and out more often than the average; I have seen them in action, on neghbours dogs, the postman and charging me personally; I would not hesitate to kill either dog, I would have if the length of 100x50 I'd grabbed hadn't had a bl**dy great knot in it (I'd have preferred Billy's axe or a length of 16mm HT reo bar). So, train your kids, your neighbours kids, the neighbourhood pets, visitors to the neighbourhood, i.e. impose a surcharge of responsibility on a community that the owners of such dogs often fail to adheree to themselves. I sorry Jen, but when stupidity as stupendous as this also has the audacity to ignore the obvious dangers, especially to those least able to protect themselves, then they deserve to have the proper epiphets applied to them. Sad odious freaks with nothing to wave, save a dog.	Murray P (44)
488713	2006-10-03 11:06:00	Thomas: You give no clue as to why your family member wants this kind of dog? Does she have fears for her safety & wants a watchdog? Or is this simply a whim from someone who knows little about dogs?	Laura (43)
488714	2006-10-03 11:43:00	You could always buy a Nintendo DS and Nintendogs for her. $350 max, Cheapest & safest pet you cud find. lol	Cornot (10386)
