A friend forwarded the message below and writes: I think this story is great for showing the inconsistencies in Animal Control & the by-law. We have Brindi, who never bit a person & here's a dog that bit a few people and other dogs, and is still at home. But Brindi is locked up for 10 months. Hello, Last year I was bitten by the neighbour's German Sheppard (sic) and I couldn't get Animal Services to fine the owner no matter what I did! Their dog had attacked my Am-Staff six months before and the owner of the German Sheppard wanted MY dog put down...because HER DOG BIT HER! After I was bit, apparently they couldn’t even fine the owner because of some statute of limitations where they weren’t able to fine them within six months of it happening. So I’d like you to use these instances to show that there's a lot more dangerous dogs, and even more screwed up owners out there! If anyone comes by a F-----, or a J----- living somewhere around Tantallon (she works at the --------- Store)...their dog S------ is a vicious animal that has now bit two humans! What bothers me most is they don’t have any problem having him around their grandchildren. So anyway...my point is, I know firsthand how screwed up the HRM By-laws are. Let me know if I, or this'll help at all; J NOTE we learned that this person was bitten in the leg by the German shepherd and required medical treatment. The dog has reportedly bitten other people and animals since then. also: there is no statute of limitations on a dangerous dog. A dog can be seized at any time. Hello, Animal Services?? |
