Baz+Rome Posted November 9, 2008 Share Posted November 9, 2008 Interesting to read that the are NO pitbulls on that list. ;) Sad to see so many Bullies or Bully crosses though. Although I do believe that some breeds of dogs should never be crossed with another. and BTs are one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fit for a King Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I'm curious why you are posting this? To prove pits aren't on the list? To highlight the number of breeds involved in deaths?

kylielou Posted November 10, 2008 Author Share Posted November 10, 2008 The reason for the info: I have a meeting with the minister for local government Wednesday 2.00 pm regarding his new Bill before the house regarding local government, including 17A. I have overturned 39 dog breed identifications showing clear proof that local councils in Qld have been paying so called self trained experts to mislead and manipulate the courts by providing false documentation and fictional verbal evidence. Over the past few months the news papers at least here in Qld have finally seen the light regarding CLAIMS of transparency and accountability by the state Government are a sham. most of the laws are "for show". "There was no serious intent to make these things work, A government does not have to be accountable as long as they can convince the voters they are honest This could explain why and how this BSL law got passes and why it is so hard to get any government department to validate or give any reason why it should be in place. BSL protects the community from dog attacks? How can banning/restriction four breeds of dogs, when three of these breeds are not present in Australia, in any real number and the pit bull terrier represents 1.8% of the total dog attacks in Australia, that’s the same as Poodles, and just below Labradors, and from my research I can not find one death from a Pit bull terrier published in Australia. This government should be held directly responsible for the deaths of the people (Children) since this law was brought in. But more to the point is the total disregard to the legal system and the courts in general, so much for local council being a model litigant, the way they treat the court system as if it was a child’s play toy, or a joke. If you have not already read the transcripts from the Dino Da Fre Vs Logan City Council you would see that the two experts went to all lengths to try and win a trial, as if it was just a game. http://www.dafrevlogancc.bigpondhosting.com/ Start here: Day 6 J Perkins (rebuttal). Its a laugh 17A should be dropped as the media has finally found it has no truthful foundation, the general public from the response from the last few feed backs have been 98% against this badly written law maybe its time the minister Warren Pitt should start again by dropping this from his Bill as he has already dropped 1200 pages from the old one here is another 10 pages for the bin.

Guest unbelievablesound Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 thankyou for posting and i too agree. why are the pitbulls and bull type breeds getting the blame for all atatcks when clearly that is not the case.Thats the bloody media for you. you only hear about the pitbull type attacts which makes it worse... Good luck and i hope that you make them see sense... The problem with these reporters is that when a dog attack does occur, the media look at the dog and brand it without proper research, when in actual fact it is someones cross-bred pig dog. Instead the pure breeds get the blame and can end up getting banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vk2mpj Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 At least with the latest dog incident, the media have correctly indentified the animals as x-breeds, and aren't tarring a specific breed. Although "there are calls to ban x-breeds" still a form of BSL though.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
