Thats what you would wsnt ypur dog to do in the middle of the night protect you and your property. So this idiot claming he bit him was illegallly on your property

Because this dog was doing its job and no way should it be put down. Let's start executing people who, in self defence, hurt an offender of a crime against them. Also proof is a necessity as we are all innocent until proven guilty.

Winston was protecting his family.
I'd hurt anyone who came near my family too.

#3604

The dog did nothing wrong!

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3605

This dog was doing what any human would do and Proctect his family. People have dogs for companionship and protection. This person was doing the wrong thing, and the dog should not be to blame!

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

Can't imagine this happening to my family dog he has every right to protect the yard from anyone who isn't meant to be there!

Winston was protecting his owners & property "in the middle of the night " come on !!!!the person was up to no good texturing the dog

(Quaama, 2017-09-13)

Never should a dog be put down when someone is doing a house invasion and the dog bites them. That's what you have a dog for. Not to sit back and watch you get raped, beaten or murdered. Good dog, bad crimes..........put down the crim

He is a family pet and if some stranger is on your property they have every right to protect. My dog is inside and if someone came inside to bad for them. Hope all goes well

(Old Bar, 2017-09-13)

#3620

It's wrong what they are doing, the dog was doing it's job

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3621

If our councils and governments were able to protect us from burglars, home invasion, car theft and ass ult, then perhaps we wouldn't need dogs as security. This dog was protecting what was rightfully his........his family.

(Malvern, 2017-09-13)

This dog was in his property. Council needs to free, beautiful Winston

Life is sacred.Save lives.

#3626

A dog guarding its property is not a dangerous dog. How do we know it wasn't kicked or hurt for barking?

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

#3628

It is an inhumane process to punish a dog for protecting it's humans!

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3630

I'm signing this beaucuse I think this is the most pathetic thing to do. Considering this animal was only protecting his family from an intruder. If it was someone in the councils dog that had done this I'm sure it wouldn't be happening to their family pet.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3631

To save Winston from protecting his property from illegal intruder on the property

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3634

I'm signing this petition to save a innocent dogs life.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3637

This case is totally unfair there's no court system for animals to have a fair hearing just rangers and councils who want to kill an animal for protecting its own property

(Eungai creek, 2017-09-13)

#3638

This is unjust and heartbreaking and the same thing is happening to a friend of mine here now.

(Airlie Beach, 2017-09-13)

#3639

Poor dog is facing a death sentence when he was just doing what he's supposed to be - protecting his owners and his property ....if it was a person shooting an intruder and killing them they wouldn't even get charged or fined - I just don't get it!!

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3641

The laws need to be changed. Proof should be given. if you are an intruder and get bitten.. too bad so sad. You were not meant to be there. the dog who is protecting their family should not be punished.

(Ipswich, 2017-09-13)

#3642

Let common sense prevail. Release the poor dog to its family. Trespassing is an offence! It's natural instinct for a dog to protect its family and home.

(Croydon, 2017-09-13)

#3644

I'm tired of non dog loving people doing the wrong thing and then blaming the dog when all they do is their job...protect the family and their home. This is just wrong on so many levels!! Give Winston back!!!!

(Dunwich, 2017-09-13)

#3645

Because the dog was only protecting his property, jail the ******* who was trying to break in........

(Calliope, 2017-09-13)

#3650

I'm signing because the dog was only doing what was optional which was defending his territory, why would you kill him for it when the intruder should be the one punished and sent to jail!

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3651

The dog was protecting its family. The intruder should be charged with trespassing. This is so wrong. Mackay city council should be ashamed of themselves!!!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3652

This is wrong. Our dogs should be allowed to defend their own territory when an intruder trespasses onto our own property. The owners of this dog should have some rights to save Winstons life. Innocent until proven guilty - so why is it that one persons complaint is taken as the gospel? This sort of thing has got to stop. We live in a civilised place I thought, so when does the rights of a trespasser become more than that of the resident. Any dog is going to defend it's territory in the middle of the night - and surely isn't that one of the reasons we keep them - for security of our family and home. This is another disgusting act by Mackay Regional Council pound. There will be uproar if Winston is not saved!!!!!!!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3655

Its wrong to put a dog to sleep that is protecting its home from an intruder ...

(Emerald, 2017-09-13)

#3659

It's not correct. What was doing the person at midnight in that property?

(Sarina, 2017-09-13)

#3661

This is so wrong. Dog owners should have rights too. They were on someone else's property. The dog was protecting his territory. Council has no right to take such a stance especially as there is no evidence. What laws are they governed by. Where is the justice in this.

(Logan Village, 2017-09-13)

#3664

The dog should not be considered at fault when he is only protecting his yard

(Gladstone, 2017-09-13)

#3667

When does an intruder have more rights than the property residents - this is insane. Another reason I have a set of heavy solid golf clubs which I am more than happy to use on any intruder that dares to enter my property day or night!

(mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3668

This us such bullshit. Poor Winston was protecting his yard & his family from intruders. The bloody intruders are the ones needing put down

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3671

This is sooooo wrong!!!!!!!!!!!

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3675

The intruder should be punished NOT the brave dog trying to protect his family.

(New Beith, 2017-09-13)

#3676

Think this is so wrong.

(Farleigh, 2017-09-13)

#3677

It's just not right no evidence get a legal team involved to stop this from happening

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3678

I am signing because I'm glad he bit the intruder. That is why we have dogs to protect our property as part of the family unit.
The dog did not escape and bite someone, the intruder came to the house with a criminal intention - he should be locked up and take it on the chin that the dog was protecting his owners things including other family members. It's sick he's on death row. So angry.

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

#3680

This dog's a Hero not a Villain !
I have a good dog too and after reporting a trespass where my dog protected my yard, police said I'd be surprised how many times he has saved me from prowlers....
I don't feel safe without him.

(Emerald, 2017-09-13)

#3681

I'm signing this because the dog was doing what comes naturally and protecting his property

(Batemans bay, 2017-09-13)

#3683

This poor dog should not be punished for protecting his home and family!!

(Bargara, 2017-09-13)

#3687

No dog who bites an intruder should be put to sleep, the intruder should not have been in this owners home.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3689

You should be able to protect your property. Winston was protecting his property and probablt his family.

(Toorbul, 2017-09-13)

#3690

I think that the dog is a most beautiful being and doing what dogs do protect their family the council have no right to come onto your property without your permission

(Nebo, 2017-09-13)

#3691

The person came on to there property that's what u get the dog is protecting the house, don't try steal from someone then sook while breaking in that the dog got u ******* idiot

(Gold coast, 2017-09-13)

#3693

No dog should be put down for allegedly biting an intruder!! Dick head shouldn't be going into someone else's yard!!

(Wentworth, 2017-09-13)

#3695

I'm signing because the Dog was defending his home against an INTRUDER!!!

in·trude, [in-trood]

VERB (USED WITH OBJECT) [IN·TRUD·ED, IN·TRUD·ING.] .
to thrust or bring in without invitation, permission, or welcome,
in other words the guy with criminal intent shouldn't have been there in the first place, and if he hadn't have been there, he wouldn't have suffered the consequences of his actions. Come on, don't punish the dog for protecting his home. He is not the one at fault here!

(Devonport, 2017-09-13)

#3696

This council is out of control and need to be stopped! We as a community have rights to own dogs. We own dogs to love & care for them & in return they protect our homes and property! This is not a new thing........and we will keep on living like this. You are HORRIBLE & HEARTLESS Mackay Council & you have not got a leg to stand on! This inhumane way of running a council & them having certain rights needs to stop NOW!!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3702

I am outraged to think that a dog that is protecting its property and loved ones has resulted in biting the offender and is being punished for doing so.

(Ferntree Gully, 2017-09-13)

#3703

The dog was protecting the property on private land and no evidence he was not provoked or threatened

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3704

He was protecting his family. Our neighbour got broken into and tge intrudor bit him and they aren't doing shit about it. But a dog bites intrudor and they want to put him down so unfair.

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

#3705

This is outrageous. I would expect any dog (family member) to defend it's family if someone broke into anyone's home. I would sue the council for everything if this happened to me.

(Canberra, 2017-09-13)

#3706

Winston was protecting his family.

(Melbourne, 2017-09-13)

#3710

That's what a guard dog is for protect his territory

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3712

These laws are a bloody disgrace.. no animal should be put down for protecting there family.
The laws need to change!

(Strathpine, 2017-09-13)

#3713

Let's be fair

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3717

This is cruel and unfair

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#3721

Council should be awarding the dog a bravery award for protecting it's family & property. If man stayed out of dogs yard he wouldn't have been bitten.

(Sapphire, 2017-09-13)

#3727

I believe this dog was doing his job. If he did actually bit the intruder then he should be given a medal. Why is it that these people can intrude on to our property and get away with it. The laws need to change.

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3728

I have never heard something more rediculous than this.
What an idiotic concept. So...an intruder has more rights than the protector of a property! I am constantly amazed at the stupidity of our laws.

(Sydney, 2017-09-13)

#3730

I'm signing because the dog should be let free for protecting his property!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3732

Dog did his job protecting his property.
He should have more rights than a thief

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3733

Winston was doing his job, protecting his property and the person he bit shouldn't have entered the property in the first place. Isnt that why we have dogs, to love and protect.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3734

The intruder is in the wrong. Not the dog

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#3735

The dog was doing his job protecting his home. Send him back to his family.

(mountain creek, 2017-09-13)

#3737

This is outrageous

(WHITE PEAK, 2017-09-13)

#3738

There is so much that can happen to families wanting to live a quiet peaceful life at their own property and not knowing what kind of people may wish them harm, people have the right to have a dog on their own property to confront intruders.

(Agnes Water, 2017-09-13)

#3739

How about show some proof

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#3740

I am signing this petition as i believe the dog was protecting its family in the yard in which it belongs to

(Marian, 2017-09-13)

#3742

This dog was protecting his own property. The person laying this complaint should be arrested and charged for illegal entry.

(koumala, 2017-09-13)

#3744

This is so un australian :(

(beisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3746

This is rediculous.... charge the dude for trespassing !

(Gracemere, 2017-09-13)

#3747

Because the dog was doing a job to keep his home and family safe. Put down the ******* who was the intruder.

(Caloundra, 2017-09-13)

#3748

I am signing because the dog was in his own yard and defending his owners and property ... why was this intruder in there yard at night sneaking around ... I hope he is also being put down for his actions

(Melbourne, 2017-09-13)

#3750

If you see a dog in yard don't go inside it! They protect and love us that's what they do !

(Qld, 2017-09-13)

#3751

It is wrong for this to happen. Anyone could make a complaint without proof, just to get back at someone. It is the complaintants obligation to provide proof.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3752

The dog does not deserve to die because it bit a criminal scum

(Kelso, QLD, 4815, 2017-09-13)

#3761

Dogs are pack animals and will always protect their own.
If someone decides to enter someone else's property in the middle of the night without informing/ permission of the owner he should be charged.
Absolutely wrong decision to kill the pet. Makes me actually wonder who makes those decisions. Use your brains people!!!

(Sydney, 2017-09-13)

#3763

Dogs are meant to protect the owners property which is what this dog was doing. Shame on MCC.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3764

Seems to me that every one who is doing the wrong thing has more rights than the people , or in this case the dog doing the right thing ,, Winston was just doing his job ,, protecting his family and belongings , and now has to pay the ultimate price for just doing his job ,, doesn't seem right to me !!

(Koah, 2017-09-13)

#3767

If someone trespasses on your property illegally in the middle of the night, whatever happens to them is no one's fault but their own.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3769

That dog was doing his job, saving his family. They shouldn't loose their furbaby because some wanker thinks he can walk into someone's yard and take their hard earned property.

(Ingham, 2017-09-13)

#3770

My dog is my life and he is there to protect me when I am alone at home at night. This is an unjust murder

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#3775

A burglar deserves more than a dog bite.

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

#3777

I'm signing because an innocent dog faces death, the intruder is 100 % completely at fault.

(Ballarat, 2017-09-13)

#3779

Dog was doing its duty you don't see police being put down for hurting innocent or guilty people

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#3784

the intruder should be in jail

(boronia, 2017-09-13)

#3786

I'm signing this petition because it's absolutely ridiculous. I'd expect my dog or any other dog on this planted to protect the home and bite an intruder if they entered the property during the middle of the night. Disgusting council.

(Drysdale, 2017-09-13)

#3788

This is lunacy, this dog was protecting his owner,family and property. This unknown person was trespassing. Wake up Mackay City Council.

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3791

You can't put a dog down for doing his job. Protecting his family from thieving scum. FREE WINSTON

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3792

This is a joke, the poor dog please don't put it down !!!! I feel horrible for the owners and if I was in there position I could not live with my self if my dog was put down for this reason. HE IS A DOG INSTRUCTOR HE NEEDS TO COME TO THE FACT HE WAS GOING TK GET BITTEN

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3793

I believe that the dog was doing the right thing in protecting the property and its owners from a person who had no right to be on the property

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3794

This is appalling the dog was protecting his family which so it should we all need protecting with the crime rates rising in this country why are people who do criminal acts not being harshly penalised and a poor dog is to loose it's life discusting

(Mapleton, 2017-09-13)

#3796

Everyone deserves a second chance he is a loved family member and was just protecting his family as all good fur babies do. It is not fair.

(Morayfield, Queensland, 2017-09-13)

#3798

why should the dog be punished (and owners) because the maggots were in the yard when they were not supposed to be,i would take the dog and hide it

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3799

if someone enters your yard without permission, and the animal doesn't know the person they will protect their family.

(rockhampton, 2017-09-13)
