The intruder lost his rights when he took the victims rights away. The intruder needs to be shot.

If its an intruder he deserves to be bit. The poor dog is just doing its job and natural protection ritual.

(Sydney, 2017-09-14)

So wrong

(Rosebank, 2017-09-14)

A dog exercising its right to protect its family from an uninvited intruder is not dangerous.

(Broadwater, 2017-09-14)

#6806

I'm signing because this is wrong!

(Gympie, 2017-09-14)

#6807

It's the right thing to do

(Emmaville, 2017-09-14)

#6811

The dog was doing what we have them for protecting our family & property.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

#6814

No proof of biting anyone; heresay! Also if there was someone uninvited in the yard, more fool them. Dog doing a great job!!

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

Winston is not a dangerous dog, he's a hero!

(Kilkivan, 2017-09-14)

Intruders, burglars and other vermin are not protected species.

(Gold Coast, 2017-09-14)

#6822

This dog should not be put down he was guarding his family

(Mackay, 2017-09-14)

#6825

It is everyone's right to feel safe in thier own home. The dog was looking after his family.

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#6827

Dogs should be allowed to protect their property. If someone breaks into your house in the middle of the night and your dog bites them then they deserve it. Do house owners have any rights these days .This criminals can get away with blue murder.

(devonport, 2017-09-14)

#6828

Free Winston!! What a great dog protecting the household from intruders. Why are we pandering the intruder- can't believe how ridiculous this is!! The intruder should be sent to jail and fined!! Not the dog owner!!!! The intruder shouldn't have been there

(Cairns, 2017-09-14)

#6830

Honest people should have rights over the criminal rabble that are running our lives. The council needs to have a good look at itself, blind Freddy can see it's warped laws like this that are aiding the criminal element of society.

(Townsville, 2017-09-14)

#6832

I thought that's why you have dogs to protect your property from intruders better known in this case as a Trespasser & just maybe if the dog wasn't there someone living st that residence may have been raped murdered or burgled.

(Lismore, 2017-09-14)

#6833

People have dogs as family pets and protectors. A dog should not be punished for doing what it's natural instinct leads it to do - protecting its pack members.

(Narangba, 2017-09-14)

#6834

this is bullshit, some junky scum opens your gate to rob your house and take everything that you own, and the poor dog is the one paying for it.

(brisbane, 2017-09-14)

#6835

He was only defending his family

(Perth, 2017-09-14)

#6838

It's not right to put a dog down when he is doing his job.

(Bundaberg, 2017-09-14)

#6843

The dog was PROTECTING the property and Family.
How dare you take the life of a HERO

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

I do not want Winston to be killed. He was only protecting his family.

(Gladstone, 2017-09-14)

(adelaide, 2017-09-14)

#6848

Matter of principle! The dog was at his home protecting his family someone was trespassing how is that the dogs fault? Human do some pretty disgusting shit eg. Pedophiles we don't kill them but we probably should! Not for this at all!

(Tamworth, 2017-09-14)

#6849

If you enter someones property the dog is going to bite ots protecting its family. Why was this person on the property? ? Please save this dog. Its more than a animal its part of a family. We dont put humans down. Please dont put him down. Its wrong

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#6854

Justice

(Woolgoolga, 2017-09-14)

#6856

Because he was doing the right thing, protecting his owner on his own property

(Mackay, 2017-09-14)

#6857

The dog IS part of the family he was protecting! Horrendous that someone can enter a property unannounced and you blame the dog for protecting his owners property, would you do the same to your dog? I doubt it! Send the dog back to its familyits the right thing to do!

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#6860

A dog should NOT be punished for protecting his family in their own home!! Punish the criminal instead!!!

(Darwin, 2017-09-14)

#6862

Winston was defending his property from an intruder and does not deserve to die.

(Wagga Wagga, 2017-09-14)

#6863

the mans best friend is doing what you would expect him to do, protect his family, The death penalty for just doing his job, get real

(Wangaratta, 2017-09-14)

#6867

This kind of stuff is happening way too often and families are losing their fur babies to unfair circumstances.

(Helensvale, 2017-09-14)

#6868

Dogs are supposed to protect their family

(Elliott Heads, 2017-09-14)

#6869

Councils kill far too many animals every year! Also where is their authority to do anything! They have none they are not LAWFUL government! They are committing a common law tort!

(Perth, 2017-09-14)

#6870

This guy was only doing his job!!

(GREENFIELDS, 2017-09-14)

#6872

the dog did the right thing, protecting his home and also his family inside.

(Deagon, 2017-09-14)

#6879

The dog was protecting his family and property. What sentence does the intruder get?

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#6881

I would hate to see this family dog put down for this. He should be in the yard where the owner put him. Maybe caution/muzzle dog outside of property. I can understand the council's position. What if a child was bitten? Please save this dog.

(Noosa, 2017-09-14)

#6882

I am signing because it is not fair that council refuse to show the evidence. This is a denial on natural justice in any court in Australia .

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-14)

#6883

The dog was defending his property against the intruder, the dog should not be put down.

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#6884

Speechless on how this is ok!! What is the fine or consequence for a person illegally entering a property in the middle of the night and surely question their intent on doing so???

(Mooloolaba, 2017-09-14)

#6885

Have a heart. If the person was on the property illegally then the family dog was only doing its job and protecting his family.

(Wanganu, 2017-09-14)

#6888

I think it should be the intruded thats put down this poor Dog was protecting the family..

(Perth, 2017-09-14)

#6890

The dog shouldn't be killed for protecting HIS humans..

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-14)

#6891

This is unfair. He did his job. People and animals deserves to feel safe in their own yards. Please free Winston

(Townsville, 2017-09-14)

#6892

He needs to go back to his family xx

(Bucasia, 2017-09-14)

#6894

This dog was in its own yard , a person that should not have been there came in , dog was only doing what it should.Fine the intruder not the dog common scene should be used here .

(Lake Illawarra, 2017-09-14)

#6899

How ridiculous......give the dog back to its owners!!

(Mypolonga, 2017-09-14)

#6900

He done his job and shouldn't be killed for protecting the family he loves an what takes care of him an in return he protects them an gets sentenced for it as well as fined, this is unfair and plain cruel to a good guard dog that should be praised not punished

(Townsville, 2017-09-14)

#6902

This is so wrong! Winston was doing what he felt he had to do, protect his family from a low life! Release him back to his loving family and home. DON'T WASTE A LIFE!!!!!

(Kingaroy, 2017-09-14)

#6903

Because this is unfair.

(Ipswich, 2017-09-14)

#6904

Im signing this petition because an intruder came onto someone s property with the intent to steal, hurt or evencommit home invasion and the dog was doing what he is meant to do and that's protect his family. If the council think that killing this dog is the right thing to do then that is wrong. Its a family pet and the children will be devestated and could affect them terrible know this is what the council intend to do.

(Kadina, 2017-09-14)

#6905

I'm signing this because I believe that Winston should not be killed for protecting his family

(Leyburn, 2017-09-14)

#6906

he was doing his job its dog or gun which would you prefer

(endeavour hills, 2017-09-14)

#6907

These councils are a sick joke who are operating illegally. 3rd tier of government is against the Australian consitution.
The dog was protecting his home.
These rogue councils need putting down, not the dog.

(Elanora, 2017-09-14)

#6909

Dogs are protectors and so loyal
Please save Winston

(Port Macquarie, 2017-09-14)

#6915

The dog was threatened and i think i would've done the same thing, but even worse.
The dog is innocent and has done nothing wrong, let him go free back to his owner.
I think councils should stay out of people's personal businesses.

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#6916

the dog was not in the wrong

(mackay, 2017-09-14)

#6917

It is not right

(Darwin, 2017-09-14)

#6918

No animal should be punished for protecting their home and family.
Punish the intruder for their wrong doing against the innocent.

(Mount Annan, 2017-09-14)

#6919

This is crazy, the dog was protecting his home and family. Let him live.

(Woollamia, 2017-09-14)

#6921

The dog was protecting his own. Intruder should be the one jailed!

(Albany, 2017-09-14)

#6922

The council must supply proof to take and fine

(Mackay, 2017-09-14)

#6923

Im signing this because i want to support them and hope they free Winston..

(Cairns, 2017-09-14)

#6924

I'm signing because this is wrong. If someone was in their yard and gets bitten it is that persons fault for entering their premises. The dog wasn't walking around the streets, he was protecting his best friends, his family!

(Mackay, 2017-09-14)

#6925

it is wrong to condemn a dog that is protecting it's property,under no circumstances should anybody be allowed to trespass onto any bodies property. Especially without any proof. In a court of law you are innocent until proven guilty

(wamuran, 2017-09-14)

#6928

If you dont want to get bitten, keep out of other people's property. I would hope my dogs would do the same

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-14)

#6932

You have got to be joking..
A dog protecting its home and owners who are its Family pack.
Real simple answer here, do not be somewhere you shouldn't be and you wont get bitten. Is it really that hard to understand this in this mad world that is now developing.
One - Give the dog back
Two - return all fines.
three - Arrest and charge the offender who trespassed, he can then have his day in court to prove otherwise.
I'm still shaking my head :(

(5333, 2017-09-14)

#6934

people have pets for protection with the way the world is going they are more vital now than ever, if an intruder enters your property you have the right to protect it with what ever means you have - you do not have the right to put this poor animal down for doing what they got it for, have a heart and give them the dog back with restrictions maybe

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-14)

#6936

I'm signing because I AGREE!

(Hobart, 2017-09-14)

Dog's shouldn't die because of intruders.

(devonport, 2017-09-14)

#6941

The dog was protecting the owners property, Where our rights ?? Stop bowing to the scumbags who break into people's residential property to steal

(Casuarina, 2017-09-14)

#6942

This is wrong. The dog was doing his job and the intruder was doing just that, intruding on someone elses property. Shame on this council

(staverton, 2017-09-14)

Winston was protecting his family.

(Biggenden, 2017-09-14)

#6948

Winston had every right to protect his family

(Dandenong North, 2017-09-14)

#6949

I'm signing because the dog was not in the wrong he was protecting his family. if he didn't want to be bitten he should have stayed at home.

(Perth, 2017-09-14)

#6950

The dog was on private property and protecting. I would want my dog to do The same.

(Launceston, 2017-09-14)

#6962

This dog does no deserve to die... the person shouldn't have been on the property...

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#6964

I have never heard of such a ridiculous council reaction to a dog trying to protect its master's property. Whatever happened to the old saying that a dog is man's best friend. Do not let this happen!

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

#6965

The dog was doing it's job..

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#6966

The dog in question was protecting his home from scum like the intruder.

(Eatons Hill, 2017-09-14)

#6967

They were intruders in this dogs home he has a right and duty to protect his family

(Perth, 2017-09-14)

#6969

His home was being invaded, his family threatened, he did his job and stood up for his loved ones. Why should he be punished. If the intruder wasn't where he shouldn't have been, he would not have been bitten. Where's the justice in this!

(Gold Coast, 2017-09-14)

#6970

Because this is stupidity at its worst ! Winston's a hero

(Mackay, 2017-09-14)

#6971

Winston was being a good watchdog, protecting his home in the middle of the night. He does not deserve to die for his natural instincts.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

#6972

A family has a right to have their dog protect them, it is the purpose of having a guard dog.

(Geelong, 2017-09-14)

#6974

The dog was doing its job. The RSPCA should be put down.

(Arcadia Vale, 2017-09-14)

#6975

Id want our dog to protect our property from an intruder.. do not harm this beautiful dog

(Hobart, 2017-09-14)

#6977

This is so wrong, how is it that a person unlawfully entering a property can make such a complaint but not be held accountable for their actions. My council would do nothing when a dog mauled my cat as they had no proof of the dog attacking. One standard people!

(Darwin, 2017-09-14)

#6978

This is bullshit. My dogs should have the same rights as I do in relation to taking action to protect property and assets.

(Maryborough, 2017-09-14)

#6986

No reason for him to be put down for doin his job. police or security dogs bite people who are doing the wrong thing all the time. Hope u get him back n wen u do praise him to the max. Mans best friend should not be punished for doing wats right

(Marlborough, 2017-09-14)

#6987

the douse bag should not have been in some one else's yard , Leave the dog alone it was doing its job .

(KARALEE, 2017-09-14)

This is not right, that sweet dog was only guarding his home and loved ones. Also is a children's beloved pet. Wrong on so many levels.

(Sydney, 2017-09-14)

A dog should be allowed to protect his yard and owner/family

(Bawley Point, 2017-09-14)

Winston should not be put down for defending his family

(Margate Qld, 2017-09-14)

#6995

The dog was in its owners yard.

(Briome, 2017-09-14)

#6998

If intruders enter a property with consent of the property owner they do so at their own risk. This dog was protecting its territory. It is unjust to end this dogs life. The dog was doing nothing wrong. In Australia murderers get treated better

(Tweed Heads, 2017-09-14)

#7000

I believe Winston was in the right he was in his yard and the intruder shouldn't have been there . If a Brahman bull chased you in his paddock and killed you would you kill the bull ! Let Winston go home !

(Robina, 2017-09-14)
