Why kill a family pet for protecting his family from intruders. That's his job.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1603

The dog is protecting its owner , why not put pedos down instead they do more damage .

(Mildura, 2017-09-12)

#1605

The laws need to be changed

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1606

The intruder should never have been on the property. The family (including the dog) have the right to defend their property, belongings and safety. The dog was simply protecting his territory and family.

To save life of an innocent dog.

(Goldcoast, 2017-09-12)

#1608

Unless there is a different side to this story (ie there was no intruder on private property) then the owners have every right to reclaim their dog without paying an exhorbitant amount of money. Thank god they DID have a dog, as the intruder could have caused injury to the residents. Funny how we are so quick (as a society) to eliminate the "problem" animal, when the human problem (the intruder) cannot be dealt with in a harsher manner.

The dog was doing its job....stopping intruders from stealing hard earnt property....the intruder should be locked up, not the dog...save winston

(Marian, 2017-09-12)

#1612

The council should not rely on the evidence of a thief. This needs further investigation!

(launceston, 2017-09-12)

#1617

This is bullshit the dog was just doing his job.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1618

This is disgusting MRC. The dog was doing his job. How about charging the person who got bit.

(Emerald, 2017-09-12)

#1619

MRC cannot say they are following legislation for the safety of people when intruders had the balls to put in a complaint. What would have happened if the dog was not there?

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1622

That dog has no right to be put down after protecting his house and family. The person that went into that house uninvited deserves to be attacked as he was there to break the law.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1623

Its not right

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1625

we were forced to put our beautiful boy down for similar reasons. No family should have to go through this, shame on Mackay Region Council.

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-12)

#1626

Man's best friend should NOT be executed for protecting its family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1630

Council doesn't have the right to take a dogs life with no proof!

(Adelaide, 2017-09-12)

#1633

He is a member of there family and he was doing what he is suppose to do protect his pack from a stranger .

(Canberra, 2017-09-12)

#1634

I hope he is back with his loving family soon. Just ridiculous this is. He looks like a beautiful, well looked after boy and loved by children

(Ipswich, 2017-09-12)

#1635

I am sick and tired of the bullsh.t laws that stop us protecting our own property..........the world is going mad.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1637

This is unfair and cruel to kill a dog for doing its job and guarding his yard

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1639

This is just crazy. Put the intruder down and award the property owner with a reward.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1642

No dog should be killed because he was protecting his family on his property.

(Killabakh nsw, 2017-09-12)

#1644

What a joke a person comes in to your property in the middle of the night and your dog dose its job protecting you and they fine you and try to put the dog down. Shame mackay council. I will be taking this further

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1645

You can't kill someones baby I would fight for my dog he is my world and think of the kids not having their best Buddy the intruder should be the the one on death row

(Cairns, 2017-09-12)

#1649

Winston is only doing his job. This man had no right to go onto this property..

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1651

Never blame the dog, humans are the problem.

(SLADE POINT, 2017-09-12)

#1662

Poor Winston was on his own property looking after his family. F... the criminal trying to break in, if he wasn,t doing that he wouldnt of got bitten.Save Winston please!!!

(Airlie Beach, 2017-09-12)

#1663

If someone came onto my property uninvited during the night any intruder deserves all they get. The dog is a hero for protecting his property, owners and belongings. Don't break the law by trespassing and this wouldn't have happened. If I was the owner I would demand to see any if at all injuries and then would say to that person, you deserved what you got if even their was an injury. Come on councillors, this is unfair beyond belief. Have a heart and give this heart broken family back their loved family member.

(Roma, 2017-09-12)

#1664

I'm signing this petition because no dog should be put down for protecting his family!

(Maryborough, 2017-09-12)

#1666

Dogs are part of a family and if doing their job protecting their family from someone intent to cause harm, they should not be punished.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1668

Why should a Winston be killed because he bit an intruder he just done his job, if a police dog bites an intruder he would be prasied for doing a good job. Common sense is not is not so common, do the right thing and release Winston.

(Buxton, 2017-09-12)

#1669

Save Winston.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1670

Too many criminals are getting away with too much and council have too much power and dogs have a right to protect their owners.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1671

I find it totally disgusting that a poor dog that was protecting his home and family is in danger of losing his life. Ask the intruder why he was in the yard in the first place. What is this country coming to when decent people are penalised for protecting themselves against the criminals. Get a grip MRC. Good boy Winston for doing what needed to be done. Stop giving all rights to criminals If they do wrong they should deal with the consequences!

(Kallangur, 2017-09-12)

#1673

The person was intruding onnprivate property and Winston was protecting his land

(Richmond, Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1674

This is wrong! The dog was doing his job!

(Ravenshoe, 2017-09-12)

#1675

I think what they are doing to Winston is wrong!

(North Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1676

A mans home is his castle. Every dog has the right to defend their territory

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1677

This council has gone to far. Prove your facts MRC. Dog was protecting his family from a intruder. Dog should be patted on the back not killed. Intruder should be charged you "MORON'S".

(MACKAY, 2017-09-12)

#1678

The council is very unfair as the dog was only protecting his own property. How can the dog be blamed when intruder came into his yard.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1679

My dogs would do the same if someone came onto our property uninvited. As a young women, living alone, my dogs are often my only form of protection and companionship.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1680

He was protecting his owners and self defense. Shouldn't be put down because of tresspasser.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1681

Putting him down is wrong!! He was in his own yard!

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1682

He was protecting his property I believe.

(Melbourne, 2017-09-12)

#1684

A dog should be aloud to protect it's own yard.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1686

This is wrong!!!...if the dog was protecting his owners property, then he was doing his job....

(Wonthaggi, 2017-09-12)

#1687

You should have the right to protect your property and a fog is part of a family they just cant have the right to take ownership over him and put him down that is wrong

(Nsw, 2017-09-12)

#1691

I would expect my dog to be frightened by an intruder aswell it's not the dogs fault. Inside the property, it's the trespassers fault outside the property it's the owners fault....ITS NEVER THE DOGS FAULT‼️

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1692

This is so wrong bring winston home

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1695

this dog deserves a medal for protecting his family from a midnight intruder ,,,,what the hell are you thinking council

(mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1697

I'm signing because it is about time we stop punishing the good and rewarding the bad people in this world. This dog who is a member of a loving family was only doing its job protecting his family and territory, give him a medal and drag the intruder into the town centre and horse whip the bastard.

(Yeppoon, 2017-09-12)

#1699

The council should be required to provide evidence to prove this dog is dangerous. Otherwise what is to stop a corrupt council member or anyone in the public from misusing these laws.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1707

everyone has a right to protect their property - this is why we have GUARD dogs

(Mt Louisa, 2017-09-12)

#1709

Let Winston be with his family!!! What is wrong with people!! I would like to know what these stupid people from the council would do if it were them that had a intruder enter their property at night! These people need a goid

(Romsey, 2017-09-12)

#1710

The reason most people have dogs is to guard their property. And clearly this dog done his job.

(Gracemere, 2017-09-12)

#1711

If youre on someone elses property in the middle of the night without permission....youre asking for trouble.let the dog go home.

(Bucasia, 2017-09-12)

#1712

Because this is utterly stupid what the council is doing. Winston was protecting his families property. This intruder had no right to be there.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1715

He was protecting his property

(Maryborough, 2017-09-12)

#1717

Winston was inside his owners property and the intruder was trespassing. The dog and owner have done nothing wrong, the authorities need to stop protecting alleged offenders and stop punishing people and pets that are protecting their property.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1719

We should ve able to protect ourselves against intruders. Scum bags are always protected by the law.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1721

This BEAUTIFUL companion was only doing what youd expect, "PROTECTING THEIR HOME FROM SOME LOWLIFE TRYING TO GAIN ACCESS! I CALL BULLSH#T AND SHAME ON YOU PPL KEEPING AND THINKING OF KILLING THIS LOYAL FAMILY MEMBER!!!!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1723

It's so wrong

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1724

This is ridiculous, the dog was protecting its territory.. if I still lived in mackay with the way the place is going good on the dog imagine what would of happened if the dog didn't? Their lively hood could of got stolen we get dogs because they're loyal, they become family but most of all the protect.

(Proserpine, 2017-09-12)

#1725

The dog was guarding the property in the middle of the night. If the person was where they were not supposed to be they would not have been bitten. People need to be responsible for their own actions.

(Charters Towers, 2017-09-12)

#1726

He was protecting his home !!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1727

This is wrong as the word trespasser is used.
I'm sure if your dog bit nipped attacked whatever an intruder on YOUR property you would be feeling very much the same if the council took your family pet away to kill. This is wrong in the communities eyes and Mine.
Release Winston to his family...or your council will be very much frowned upon.

(Bucasia, 2017-09-12)

#1730

It is a disgrace. The dog was defending his property.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1732

You should need proof and intruders should be allowed to be bitten, it's a risk they take when breaking and entering

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1733

No proof, Winston should not be killed.

(Sorrento, 2017-09-12)

#1734

There is no proof that the dog attacked or bite, just the word of one person in the dark. Council need to change their rules to ensure there is more proof than someone making a complaint.

(Black River, 2017-09-12)

#1739

Dog was doin it's job

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1742

This animal was protecting his family and territory from someone trespassing and entering illegally. The fact that this dog is being punished for doing something that all dogs would do in that situation is ridiculous.

(Caloundra, 2017-09-12)

#1743

The innocent are being punished and the perpetrator is getting off Scott free! That dog was merely protecting itself and it's family when an INTRUDER entered their property! Classic self defence, so sick of the guilty getting away with everything and heading off to reoffend! More burglars should be bitten by dogs, I bet the B and E rate would drop exponentially, they'd do a bloody side better job that the ridiculous court system!

(Victoria, 2017-09-12)

#1744

C'mon now a dog protecting his family from an intruder who broke into a family home. If he wasn't there things could have been a lot worse and someone could have died or been hurt. Show some compassion for this family and allow him to go home to his loved ones.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1748

As an owner of two placid family dogs that sound ferocious and would do anything to protect their family, the thought of a complaint leading to the euthanasia of my babies absolutely TERRIFIES me. There is not enough evidence to prove Winston has bitten anyone. (And if he did the intruder had no place in the yard).

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1751

A dog should be able to do his job - to protect their owners and the property they live in. Dog should be rewarded.

(Sarina, 2017-09-12)

#1752

Winston should be getting a medal, not put down!!

(cannonvale, 2017-09-12)

#1753

This is absolutely rediculous. This is why we have dogs in our hearts we can't have guns. The intruder ishould be charged not the dog

(Gold coast, 2017-09-12)

#1755

He's defending his home, if you don't want trouble, don't illegally go onto other people's property!

(Cairns, 2017-09-12)

#1756

Dogs are there in there own yards & should be protected if someone enters the property

(Traralgon, 2017-09-12)

#1757

Because the intruder should be in hand cuffs. And the council is breaking the freedom of information act this is wrong and they know it.

(Bellamack NT, 2017-09-12)

#1760

winston bit a person who was trespassing on his property! i dont blame him. no need for him to be put down he was in his own yard!

(marian, 2017-09-12)

#1767

The dog was only doing his job....

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1769

Winston hasn't committed a crime he was protecting his family. The guy who was bitten should be put down.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1771

Because this is someo es beautiful dog protecting his property...and he has to die for it. Release winstin back to his family!!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1772

He is innocent

(Gold coast, 2017-09-12)

#1774

The poor dog was ONLY PROTECTING his Family & Yard from this Intruder. Is the Intruders whom is at fault here & not the Dogs! Jail the intruder & use your brains & free the dog

(Proserpine, 2017-09-12)

#1776

We have our pets for family if it was protecting his family that is not wrong and where is the proof it was this dog that bit the person that should not have been in the families yard.

How Many Council people have dogs for the same reason. Pets protect family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1779

He was only doing his job protecting his family. The idiot who broke in should pay the price not the poor dog.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1781

We have the rights to protect our homes and yards and so do our pets. If someone is comitting an illegal activity and becomes injured whilst doing so it is on them. Stop breeding criminal mantalities

(Mareeba, 2017-09-12)

#1782

I'm signing because Winston was just protecting his home... he shouldn't get put down for that!

(Hervey Bay, 2017-09-12)

#1783

The dog was only doing his job and the person should not have been in the yard. M.R.C is as bad as the current State and Federal governments. Put the intruder down

(ex Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1784

I am against murdering a family pet without proof.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1785

Dogs are family thusi dog was protecting his family.

(Innisfail, 2017-09-12)

#1788

Family dogs are meant to protect intruders - he was doing his part this is unfair

(Hervey Bay, 2017-09-12)

#1789

Winston was just protecting his family & is a hero.

(Cairns, 2017-09-12)

#1791

I'm signing because winston is a beautiful dog and no one not even dogs deserve to be lowered and murdered for protecting the ones they love.

(West Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1792

Dog protecting property at night - the scumbag who broke in is in the wrong. Name and shame the person who was allegedly 'jogging' past the gate. I call BS on their story

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1796

Because the dog was only protecting his family

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1797

This is ridiculous... red tape needs to be cut!!!

(Agnes Water, 2017-09-12)

#1798

Free the dog, intruder should know better.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1799

This is pathetic injustic

(townsville, 2017-09-12)

He was protecting his home!
