Dog bites off woman's fingers in Sterling Heights

Noted Dog Bite Attorney Jeff Nadrich Comments on Proposed Australia Dog Bite Restrictions

The owner of the boxer mix was ticketed for harboring a dangerous animal, failure to restrain a dangerous animal and having an unlicensed dog, Sterling Heights police said. Because the boxer mix was not up to date with its rabies vaccinations, the owner agreed to have the this website dog euthanized so that it could be immediately tested for rabies, Lt. Luke Riley said. The victim was taken to Beaumont Hospital in Troy and her dog was taken to an emergency veterinary service for treatment of bites and lacerations to its shoulders and chest. The womans condition was not available Wednesday night and police did not know whether her dog survived the attack.

My dog bite my brother

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 19, 2013 Australian Local Government Minister Don Page has reportedly proposed new legislation that would place much greater restrictions on dogs who exhibit aggressive behaviors, according to a recent report from The Daily Telegraph. According to the article, Page laid out his plans at a state budget estimates hearing, and if enacted, the new legislation would force so-called menacing dogs to be muzzled, even if they haven't bitten anyone. Noted dog attack lawyer Jeff Nadrich recently commented on the story, and its legal implications. According to Nadrich, We know that dog bites are on the rise, but legislation like this may prove controversial. If I understand it correctly, local officials would be able to use their own discretion in determining aggressive behavior, even if the dog has never bitten anyone. Some might argue that this paves the way for abuse, and enables overzealous advocates to unfairly muzzle dogs with no real dangerous tendencies. The Daily Telegraph article further notes that Page's initiative hopes to reduce the number of dog bites in New South Wales. The article quotes Page as saying, The main reason is that we will be able to identify a dog that has been behaving in an aggressive fashion - that is not necessarily a dangerous dog...but one which has shown aggressive tendencies. His plan would reportedly also subject dog owners to increased penalties, and could even ban breeds that are known for aggressive behavior. If a dog is deemed menacing, it could be subject to muzzling, and required to be supervised at all times by a person over the age of 18, according to the Daily Telegraph report.

So the (unlicenced) pit bulls owner is paying the vet bill. Which is no solace to Arlo and his owners, or other neighbours, now understandably fearful in their instantly-devalued homes. Arlos assailants should be euthanized. Instead they will be assessed, after which they may get a second chance, as juvenile first (human) offenders usually do. Trouble is, dogs are not humans. The purpose-bred fighting breed cluster pit bulls represent, genetically programmed for impulsive aggression, cannot be trained into reliable sociability, any more than greyhounds can be trained to adopt the running gait of a sled dog.
