He was protecting his family and shouldn be put down for doing his job.

(Perth, 2017-09-15)

Because the dog had every right to defend the property against the intruder. If they weren't in the property it wouldn't have happened. If the dog escaped and bit someone then different story.

Dillon vs Plenty 1991!

dogs are part of our families and councils should not be able to seize them and kill them without a good reason!

He is a family pet who was just doing his job and protecting his home.

It's a dogs right /purpose to protect their family/pack!

(Landsborough, 2017-09-15)

#8009

This deserves an investigation, and no dog should be seized without it.. if it was indeed an intruder he was protecting and should not be punished , dogs are not bound by stupid laws that favour intruders , robbers and would be attacters. world gone mad.

The dog was only protecting his family why should he lose his life. Put the perpetrator in jail and free the dog.

This is bullshit in these times of home invasions the dog was just doing his job in his yard fine the person that entered. Good luck Winston .

(Toomulla, 2017-09-15)

#8018

Because if someone come into yo7r yard and threatens your family any member of that family should and will do anything to protect their environment. We have dogs for pets which gives us the added bonus they will protect their families each and every time there is a danger

(Laidley, 2017-09-15)

#8020

I'm signing this cause that's what the dog is supposed to do. I'm sorry but if someone comes in your yard that's not suppose to be there well that happens. Please don't put him down for protecting his owners. Please.

(Gold Coast, 2017-09-15)

#8021

Because just like any human, a dog has the right to defend their property from intruders!!!!!!!!!!

he was just protecting his owner and property, absolutely disgusting to want to put hime dow, give him a big bone to chew on instead, he deserves it

(Whiteside, 2017-09-15)

#8026

I'm signing because I believe he was protecting his family against an intruder, there has been no crime made here

(Gold coast, 2017-09-15)

#8028

This is just ridiculous. A dog protecting his home and family is being threatened with death.

(Caloundra DC, 2017-09-15)

#8029

A dog that has attacked an intruder in either their home or yard is only doing its job of protecting their family. Would you kill a lion for killing someone near its pride.

(logan, 2017-09-15)

#8030

This is bullshit a dog should be able to protect his yard and family this was an intruder someone that is going to steel,rape,kill and to what it takes to not get caught he should be put down not the dog

(Mount isa, 2017-09-15)

This gorgeous Boy was just doing his Job

(Merrylands, 2017-09-15)

#8033

So If the Dog has allegedly bitten someone, and was protecting his Family & Property, he should be set free, back into his owners care.
As usual a Dog cannot represent itself, and because of complaint from a person or persons not invited onto the Dog owners Property, day or night, the Council has really over reacted, and has seized the land owners dog on accusations, from someone, who should not have been on that land.
PLEASE, LET THE DOG FREE.

(melton sth, 2017-09-15)

#8034

The dog should be able to protect its family in it's back yard, it was in the middle of the night the intruder should be prosecuted

(Colo vale, 2017-09-15)

#8035

This dog was just protecting his property and his owners. SET HIM FREE

(Mackay, 2017-09-15)

#8037

This is the intruders fault not Winston ! What is the world coming to !!

(Brisbane, 2017-09-15)

#8038

If he has bitten a intruder he should not be put down he has done his job,if I was in that situation they would not be putting my dog down,all the best

(Casino, 2017-09-15)

#8039

I would like to think that if this dog was protecting his owners and home then how is this an offence, wheres the justice, my dog would do the same, look at the justice system, a person doesnt get put down for taking a life when its murder, self defence and they walk free, open your eyes

(Lismore, 2017-09-15)

#8040

This law is wrong. I have a Dog to protect my family and Property.

(Urangan, 2017-09-15)

#8041

just let the dog go back home you morons...

(Lockhart, 2017-09-15)

#8042

That dog was protecting his family from an intruder, he did the right thing and probably saved a life . The intruder is the one who needs punishing not the dog, THE DOG IS A HERO

(Gympie, 2017-09-15)

#8045

you have got to be kidding a dog protecting its owners property. how about executing the intruder!!!!!

(Raymond Terrace, 2017-09-15)

#8046

This dog was only protecting his family. It's wrong to punish the doag and his family for this!!

(Sydney, 2017-09-15)

#8047

Winston done nothing wrong!

(Sydney, 2017-09-15)

#8048

The dog was just protecting his family in their own home. You have no right to do any of this to this poor little dog and the family.

(perth, 2017-09-15)

#8050

this poor dog shouldnt be killed because it was protecting his property. My parents told me from a young age that you walk on to someone property with out permission and they have a dog and you get bit well you will learn not to do it again . the dog is only doing it job. !!!!!

(laidley, 2017-09-15)

#8053

Let common sense prevail here please! The dog was clearly protecting owners & their property! Sick of hearing councils taking innocent dogs largely because of their breed! The dog has no voice against this lying intruder! Please let this clearly lovely dog return to its owners. This is the RIGHT thing to do !

(Melbourne, 2017-09-15)

#8056

What a Load of Crap :( this Dog was Protecting his Family why should he have to Die :( Mackay Council you Suck :( This Furbaby was in his Own Yard how about Prosecuting the Intruder & send this Boy back to His Family :) do not use an Innocent Dog as a Scapegoat :(

(Hervey Bay, 2017-09-15)

#8060

This dog should not die because he was protecting his family and his home. Putting beautiful animals down does not solve the problem when people continue to break the law. People should not trespass onto someone elses property. FREE WINSTON NOW.

(bundaberg, 2017-09-15)

#8062

I think a dog should be allowed to protect his home and his family. Shame on the ones who want to put this lovely dog down.

(Shepparton South, 2017-09-15)

#8066

I think this is wrong, that person was clearly doing wrong! Winston was protecting his family.

(Townsville, 2017-09-15)

#8068

Cannot kill an animal without proof. The thief was lying!!! as per usual, be prepared for a huge backlash if this is done.

(Gordonvale, 2017-09-15)

This isnt fair or proven

(murwillumbah, 2017-09-15)

#8071

If someone comes onto your property the dog is there to protect you
So this dog was doing his job and now they want to kill him

(Tallai, 2017-09-15)

#8072

Winston did what he meant to do, protect his family! Intruder should be behind bars!

(cairns, 2017-09-15)

People have a right to protect their family and property....no dog should be put down on the word of an intruder.....

(Logan, 2017-09-15)

Disgusting the dog was protecting his property

(Maryborough Queensland, 2017-09-15)

#8076

Another form of PC, ffs he was doing his job, the mongrel should stay away from others homes and property.

(Newtown, 2017-09-15)

#8079

This dog was protecting its family and property, council should not have the right to destroy any dog without proof or witness that it was at large and unduly aggressive.
This is in my opinion murder if a family dog doing its job!

(Kingscote, 2017-09-15)

#8081

This is absolutly ludicrous and cruel. The person is a criminal, entering property illegally that was being protected by a faithful family member. The dog deserves a medal and the crim a jail erm !!!! When will our justice system wake up to itself !!!!

(Singleton, 2017-09-15)

#8084

How dare they even think that's okay !

(Sydney, 2017-09-15)

#8085

I am definitely against killing a dog for protecting his family and house, He's obviously a smart animal, and protected his family, he should get a medal, not a death sentence.

(Sydney, 2017-09-15)

#8086

Council should be ashamed here. The dog is protecting his property and an INTRUDER decides he wants to invite himself onto this property at some time in the early hours of the morning for some sinister reason one would assume and the dog bites the INTRUDER. Dog has done nothing wrong. UNINVITED INTRUDER. Council should release the dog and the intruder should be charged. SHAME on the COUNCIL.

(Hervey Bay, 2017-09-15)

Stop killing innocent animals.

(Mulgoa, 2017-09-15)

#8092

Dog was right to bite the intruder.

(Murumba Downs, 2017-09-15)

#8094

The dog was protecting his family and only did what he was supposed to do. What right has anyone to enter a home in the middle of the night. Jail the criminal not the dog.

(Sydney, 2017-09-15)

#8097

Winston did what any good family dog should do. The council should not be able to seize the dog without sufficient evidence. What about the justice system?

(Maroubra, 2017-09-15)

#8100

its just plain wrong, wrong, wrong.

(hervey bay, 2017-09-15)

#8101

The intruder is at fault. Not the dog.

(Weranga, 2017-09-15)

#8102

Dogs do not bite without reason especially as that person was an intruder n deserved what he got

(Waterford west, 2017-09-15)

#8103

Have my full support. I have dogs to protect me and my property nobody has the right to enter without permission. The dog you have bought up this way should not be punished for protecting you. The council need to look at there rules for situations like this.

(Darwin, 2017-09-15)

#8109

Please save this dog

(Caboolture, 2017-09-15)

#8111

This is absurd, the dog was protecting his family. The scumbag would not have been bitten if he had not been breaking the law. What is wrong with this council. Let the dog go home you pathetic morons.

(Perth, 2017-09-15)

#8117

You don't condem people without evidence this is an animal who protects his own, that's what they do, try doing this to bullies see how far you get

(Adelaide, 2017-09-15)

#8119

this is shameful and if our governement does this is will never forget their disshonour if somebody breaks into my home i will be putting them in the ground no matter your laws then i will have a page like this for doing what is right protect your family is number 1 priority for most men

Winston was doing his job, he deserves praise not death

(Toowoomba, 2017-09-15)

#8121

This is insane that a dog should be put down for doing his job. He was protecting his home and family from an entity that was in the process of a criminal act with no right to be on someone else's property.

(Busselton, 2017-09-15)

#8128

The Law should be protecting residents from intruders. If someone entered their property uninvited, the intruder should not be allowed to lodge any sort of complaint against any person or animal that causes them injury. The dog was only doing its job.

(Bundaberg, 2017-09-15)

#8129

Because I'm a logical person. This dog isn't dangerous.

(Sydney, 2017-09-15)

The dog was protecting his family and property. Would you kill a man for doing the same, NO.
Let him live, to do otherwise is totally unjust.

My dog lets me sleep at night.......I know he will bite anyone who shouldn't be in my home.....which lets me at 74 rest easy...what would happen if Winston were protecting your family?

(maroochydore, 2017-09-15)

#8136

This is so very wrong, all dogs protect their property....that's what dogs do, the guy who was up to no good should be put down. Release this dog back to his family.

They entered the property the dog was protecting its home but without proof seizing the dog and putting it down is not justified they were in the wrong not the dog bloody disgusting council should be ashamed of yourselves .

(Kelso, 2017-09-15)

#8145

The scum that think they can break and enter deserve to be bitten by a dog. He was just doing his job.

Do not put him down!

(Baynton, 2017-09-15)

#8152

I think this is disgusting. Is the guy that broke in being charged with trespass? This sets a dangerous precedent for pet owners with no proof of attack.

#8157

This is so wrong...if the dog is on his own property and protecting his family from thieves or worse...and the person coming on to that property without consent well its obvious that person is trespassing. Free Winston.

(Perth, 2017-09-15)

#8160

This poor dog should not be put down for someone else's stupid mistake!!! It's is the other persons fault for trying to break in and any damages is because of their actions not this dogs!!

(Hervey bay, 2017-09-15)

#8161

Because councils have no authority to do anything. We vetoed giving them recognition at the 1988 referendum. They are a sham, they can only take stuff if you let them.

(Yass, 2017-09-15)

#8162

This is disgusting that just one persons opinion can ruin the life of an obivously happy, loving family dog, why can't the council access the dogs temperment and see how he behaves in is own house, they are part of the family, would you take a child away from their parents because they did something that someone passing by didn't like what they were doing?

(Newcastle, 2017-09-15)

#8164

You have no bloody right to seize this dog.You've taken our guns away and our rights to protect our families so our dogs are all we have.Its disgusting how you protect the criminal and I bet if it was a councillors dog then nothing would be said.!!

(Victoria, 2017-09-15)

#8169

This poor dog was only protecting his owner's from this intruder who shouldn't have been on their property. Poor Winston, please save him, he wasn't doing anything wrong, he was just looking after his family on their own property. :-(

(Tinana, 2017-09-15)

#8170

This is so wrong as the dog was in the backyard when intruder was bitten. Have some sense for goodness sake and send the dog home.

(Blue Haven, 2017-09-15)

#8172

Biting an intruder, sorry I forget Australia is a country of victims. We should never defend ourselves and if one of the family does a big tough bureacrat will kill them. If the INTRUDER didn't BREAK THE LAW he wouldn't have been bitten.

This is so ridiculous - this is a family pet protecting his family. How on earth can the council just come and take the dog and destroy it for doing his job? Disgusting behaviour once again from a local council . Local councils are your enermy not your friend

(Port Augusta, 2017-09-15)

#8185

If the intruder had not gone on to the property of the dogs owner he would not have been bitten. The dog was doing a good job protecting the family. The fault here is that of the intruder, not the dog. This council needs to get the correct facts and not just take the word of the intruder. Shame on the council. This dog looks like a nice family pet.

(HEBERSHAM, 2017-09-15)

#8188

Free Winston. He was doing his job protecting his pack. What was an intruder doing in their yard at night he should be charged with tresspass. This is ridiculous sha.e on the council let him go home !!!!!!!

(Orange, 2017-09-15)

He is clearly a much loved family pet who was just protecting his home and family. Intruders forfeit their rights when they illegally enter a property. The dog did the right thing.

(Aramac, 2017-09-15)

It's totally unfair and unbelievable. Councils always seem to get involved and do the wrong thing - always wanting to get rid of the animal.

#8196

The dog was only protecting his territory from someone who should not have been there in the first place. It was locked up in the yard & somone he didn't know entered. GOOD JOB WINSTON. I would expect my dog to do the same

(Cairns, 2017-09-15)

#8197

there should always be an onus of proof in any situation like this, especially when a life is at stake. The complainant is doing so from the shaky position of carrying out an illegal act so I am not sure how his word carries any weight at all in this matter and certainly not enough to cost the life of a family pet defending its yard. Common sense needs to prevail.

(Cowes, 2017-09-15)
