gone

It is a real pity that the general public are uninformed about breeds of dog, poorly trained/contained dogs due to poor owners etc , the comments on the herald sun some of them are just shocking lumping everyone who owns a dog in the same boat Im afraid its going to get worse for Victorians if this type of thing keeps happening

oh hang on... if the dogs not registered the City of Melbourne can seize it regardless.

On the City of Melbourne Council website it states: Menacing dogs What’s a menacing dog? The City of Melbourne may declare a dog ‘menacing’ if it has rushed at or chased someone. What do I need to do if I own a menacing dog? The City of Melbourne will advise you if you need to: to muzzle the dog when it’s outside of your property have the dog on a leash any time that it's off your property. What if I don’t do these things? Under the Domestic Animals Act 1994, the City of Melbourne can issue fines to anyone who doesn’t fulfil their obligations as a responsible pet owner. ************************ Where does it state they can seize the dog if it hasnt attacked someone? - looks like a fine is all that is applicable? Poor guy
