Mairead Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 (edited) There is also an update on ABC news website ( 21hrs ago in the Just In section) which mentions there were five dogs on the property, and some sensible comments by Dr Bronwyn Oke, RSPCA, about pack dynamics, possible medical conditions, and how blaming the breed may stop owners doing the right thing by their dogs such as getting help for behaviour problems. (sorry, can't work out a link on this little old device) Edited October 11 by Mairead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Gifts Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Just saw this story on it too. Sounds horrific. https://au.news.yahoo.com/chilling-detail-emerges-after-woman-mauled-by-dogs-in-melbourne-backyard-225646243.html We've also had a mauling in Carindale, QLD this week. Two elderly ladies walking their dogs and attacked by several staffies. One dog deceased. Weird part is they were walking at like 4am in the morning when it still would have been dark up here. Dogs should not have been loose but I wonder if they thought they were intruders near their property? Haven't been able to find an unpaid story to link for it though.

Rebanne Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 And what appears to be the male occupier of the property is hanging in the front yard, not game to go out the back and try and save the woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe trying to avoid all the ferals and their dogs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairead Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 If no one died I imagine (T will probably know!) the information about it may only be in a police report or a council report? With local government it often depends on who answers the phone or reads your email. Sometimes contacting them at another time or day will be more successful. Or try your local MP. Some coroner's reports are online but for others you need to apply and say why you should see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mairead Posted October 11 Share Posted October 11 Male occupant was arrested and taken away on "unrelated matter", but the "matter" may have had some bearing on what sort of dogs he thought he needed and how he wanted them to behave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redsonic Posted October 12 Share Posted October 12 With the Dandenong mauling reportedly not the first time the dogs have been aggressive, and the woman's partner the owner of the dogs, he may well be facing charges related to her injuries. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-11/dog-attack-dandenong-melbourne-woman-critical-injuries/104459738 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about time councils get sued for such like! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
