Save Hugo Campaign

[HazyWal]

So Hugo is going on a flight. I assumed he was going over the border to maybe northern NSW but he could be going anywhere.

Do airlines fly dangerous dogs?

Do airlines fly dangerous dogs?

Not if they know.

If a dog acts up badly at the Airport, it can also be denied loading onto the flight.

That is clearly written in their conditions.

Interesting....

I believe Hugo was declared a menacing dog, not a dangerous dog. The two terms are not interchangable.

I can vouch for this.

The other option is to have a wooden guard dog crate hired for a few hundred dollars, and even then if the airline isn’t comfortable moving them, they simply won’t.

What’s the bet they start fundraising next?

Ugh annoying people

Ugh annoying people

Yes, vexacious.

I'll be blunt.

The naffin' energy going into this dog & rehousing might mean another deserving dog whose family played by the rules is left in grave need of help.

Sorry but it's bugged me.

People are blinkered.

Good point, Ams.

So does the menacing order still stick interstate? Genuine question I have no idea :/

It should... if the dog is on a national chip database, it woukd be marked as menacing on that - but if they never try to register him, who'd know?

Not automatically, no.

There were amendments to the Act in Nov 13 that now allows Councils to declare dogs menacing or dangerous based on them having an aligning declaration interstate, so if a Council finds out that he was Menacing in Qld they have the option to declare him menacing in NSW. You couldn't do that before those amendments.

The only relevant registry in NSW is the NSW Companion Animals Registry. If they identify and register him on this then there's no reason for a Council officer to run his chip through one of the private databases.

I haven't a clue either, HW. What state did Hugo go to?

Whoops! Just saw your reply, Mel.

I don't know what state, they are being very secret squirrel about where he is going. All they said was "over the border".

Thanks Melz for the explanation.

[Sabbath]

I live on the gold coast and typically 'over the border' means into NSW.

[tdierikx]

GCCC probably don't care where the dog goes - as long as he's not under their jurisdiction any more... *sigh*

Passing the buck of the highest order IMHO.

Yep. And I also considered pointing out to all the people complaining on the page about evil council killing dogs that Hugo's owners, by allowing him to be out so many times then seized, held for so long and going through all the fighting had undoubtedly caused the death of other dogs in the pound because Hugo was taking up a kennel all that time and a large amount of time and money went into their one case.

I didn't bother saying it that as I figured I'd just be banging my head against a wall.
