Because it's not right to euthanize an otherwise friendly dog because it's protecting its owners property

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3008

No family pet should be taken without a genuine concern. A large number of dogs would attack an intruder because dogs act out of Fear too and are protective of their own domain. The intruder got what he deserved.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3010

Thats why we have dogs to keep the scum bags off our property. He should be charged and tbe dog given a medal. And ffs gets some common sense!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3015

Im signing because this dog was protecting his owners and his territory from someone that shouldn't be entering another ones property at night uninvited and potentially being armed. The man should be charged for trespassing

I think if an animal is protecting its home it should not be impounded, people get dogs to protect themselves from undesirable people in our community. Whether be to kill, steal vandalise or other reasons intruders have no reason to be on other peoples land. I would have thought evidence would be needed like in any other matter where evidence is required before passing judgement.

Trespassers should not have more rights than the owners ! Its ridiculous.. stay out of other peoples yards..

(Bell qld, 2017-09-13)

The dog is NOT at fault. The intruder is.
Free the dog. Mackay council should be ashamed!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

this pup was protecting his family

(mackay, 2017-09-13)

This dog is not aggressive. It was protecting it's pack.

(Biggenden, 2017-09-13)

#3025

Killing this dog is not jistice served.
We keep dogs not only as family, but to protect us. This dog was protecting his family from an intruder.
Too mamy thieves believe they are owed the world.
Jist let the man keep his dog please.

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#3026

If they come in to my yard in middle of night I would bite the intruder too

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3027

Free Winston.

(Emerald, 2017-09-13)

#3029

Because i think the dog was doing its job protecting his family and house. I please hope he can be saved

(Vincent Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3033

Most people have dogs to protect their families and possession. You walk in someones yard of a night you should expect this .save this dog

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

#3034

This dog was protecting his yard. Put the intruder down not the dog. Doing his job

(4720, 2017-09-13)

#3035

No dog should get put down for protecting their own property from trespassers

(Hervey bay, 2017-09-13)

#3036

Winston was protecting his family and their property! Do not punish a family dog for doing the right thing!

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3037

Killing a dog because it was protecting it's owner?! Really?! Such a dumb excuse!

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3038

This is just crazy and so unfair!

(Gawler, 2017-09-13)

#3042

How DARE they seize this poor dog because he was doing his job and guarding private property. The intruder was illegally on the property with I suggest 'illegal intentions'. Winston should be getting praised NOT MURDERED!!!! Start treating effing criminals like the criminals they are and they forfeit their rights when they choose to commit crimes. Wake up council - dumb arse beaurecrats

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3045

A dog should have a right to protect and family and it's home.

(Bowen, 2017-09-13)

#3046

There needs to be protection for our animals when they are defending their property or their humans. No council should be able to do this when there is evidence that the person was unlawfully on the property. The dog was doing it's job. I hope that Winston is released by council and not labeled a dangerous dog. This is happening all to often lately. Our dogs cannot speak for themselves. #winston #kodislaw

(Tarneit, 2017-09-13)

#3047

The dog is in the right and the intruder is in the wrong. The intruder deserved what he got and I would hope my dog would do the same to protect me.

(Maroochydore, 2017-09-13)

#3049

injustice!

(Nome, 2017-09-13)

#3050

This is wrong. The dog was only protecting its property. Intruder can get stuffed!

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3052

dog have rights and owners do too!!

(Perth, 2017-09-13)

#3053

The dog was protecting his owner and his owners home & property-
We have our dogs to warn us when someone is out front or indeed entered our property without permission- We even rely on our dogs to warn us- Warning the person to keep outside the property until given permission to enter etc- This dog was doing his job-

(Hervey Bay Qland, 2017-09-13)

#3054

Our society is losing it's COMMON SENSE!
We should be allowed to protect our property and family from criminals. Why does the perpetrator end up having all the 'rights'?

(Rockyview, 2017-09-13)

#3058

This is unjustified

(Cowra, 2017-09-13)

#3059

The dog was only protecting his family. Why was someone in their yard, at that time of night?

(Bundaberg, 2017-09-13)

#3061

The dog was doing his job, protecting his family from this grub that obviously wasn't invited to be there. What's the point in having a dog if they can't protect their family

(Kew, 2017-09-13)

#3062

I think this is disgusting, the dog was in his owners yard, what was the guy doing there anyway??

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3065

Have a heart, the logic of having a dog is to protect your family and companionship. Defeats the purpose of owning a dog if they can't alert and protect when danger is near? 2am really is a inappropriate hour.

(ROCKHAMPTON, 2017-09-13)

#3066

This dog deserves to live!!!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3069

I hope this family get their beloved family pet back. I think it is so ridiculous this has happened.

(Moranbah, 2017-09-13)

#3070

This is bullshit. Intruder should not have been intruding

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

#3072

We are told to get ourselves a dog to protect our properties from intruders and keep us safe !!!!!!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3074

The dog is protecting the property and MRC has no right to deem this dog dangerous when it is inside it's boundaries.

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#3077

It's just out right wrong to destroy a dog for protecting it's own yard !!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3083

If the dog was in his own yard, protecting his owners and their property, than the intruders get what they deserve.
I stand for Winston

(Buff Point, 2017-09-13)

#3085

No dog should be punished for doing their job.

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3087

I'm signing because the dog was doing his job, protecting his family. If a intruder broke into my yard, I'd do more then bite them and I'm a human.

(Hervey Bay, 2017-09-13)

#3089

There is to much crime in Mackay at the moment and the dog was just protecting its yard. The person that was bitten was engaging in criminal activities by breaking and entering so he should not have have been in that yard

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3090

Winston was just doing his job!

(Adelaide, 2017-09-13)

#3092

Not ok

(Maryborough, 2017-09-13)

#3095

Because your stupid arse shouldn't be in someone's else's yard in the middle of the night!

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3097

He was protecting his family and should never be punished for that

(Perth, 2017-09-13)

#3098

Everybody should be innocent untill proven guilty.

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3099

This dog is not vicious, it was protecting the home from an intruder. How is that wrong, you can see that the family play with him.. If he was dangerous he definitely not be living with young children. Take him home to his family. Tell the intruder to stay off other folks property

(Chichester, 2017-09-13)

#3100

The dog was protecting the family, intruder should have been bitten

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3103

A dog was defending its yard its owners if someone trespasses there fault!

(Tannum sands, 2017-09-13)

#3106

The dog doing its job, I've got young children, I want protection from scum like that! Bloody courts n do gooders stuffing this country

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3111

Winston was only doing his job of protecting his family from an intruder......

(Bundaberg, 2017-09-13)

#3112

The dog did his job and gets punished for it and I bet the intruder gets nothing

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3113

If you unlawfully enter another persons property you should be entering at your own risk and you should therefore be solely liable for any injuries sustained on that property. Your choice, your consequences.

(Eagleby, 2017-09-13)

#3114

The dog was only doing it's job by protecting its home and family

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3115

The dog was in his yard and protecting his family. Council/pound should be ashamed. The intruder was there to rob them or worse. He is at fault...not the dog. SHAME ON YOU. YOUR STUPIDITY IS ASTOUNDING!

(LITHGOW, 2017-09-13)

#3116

It's ridiculous that this dog has been labelled as dangerous when it was just protecting it's yard and family. It's bullshit this family were fined. Wake up to yourself Mackay city council.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3117

The intruder should be put down, the dog was not out on the street, it was contained in the yard, if they had not been doing something illegal this dog would not be in trouble. Get it right for a change

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3120

To save this

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3122

If someone was to enter there yard dog should be fine to bite. And hope mine will do the same. His clearly a safe down around his own children!!! Let him go!!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3124

I would hope my boy would protect us like this and for his loyalty he should not be seized and killed. Punish the intruder you morons.

(melbourne, 2017-09-13)

#3128

I'm signing this because i believe the council are wrong in what they are doing! The dog was in its own yard protecting its own human and house! To kill a dog for doing its job is absolutley rediculous. Did the person who broke into the yard get into trouble? Probably not, a good old slap on the wrist. Get your shit together council and let this dog go home to his family!!

(Gladstone, 2017-09-13)

#3129

This is disgusting behaviour by MRC! Would your dog be on this path if it had PROTECTED your home like Winston has? You people disgust me and should be ashamed of yourselves

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3130

MRC are a bunch of tossas and hav had dealings with this corrupt mon before. Cant stand them. Liars the lot.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3132

It is all wrong.

(Westbury, 2017-09-13)

#3133

I'm signing this because I have 2 beautiful dogs and if I was in the same situation I would be devastated. The intruder is at fault they weren't invited on the property. Dogs are smart and and sense they weren't supposed to be there. He was protecting his home.

(Ballina, 2017-09-13)

#3135

There needs to be solid evidence that a dog is dangerous before declaring it as such. The dog clearly barked because it was protecting its family and home which is a completely reasonable thing to do. It sounds like the neighbour is been malicious and vindictive because it doesn't like the dog.

(Normanhurst, 2017-09-13)

#3136

I'm signing because the dog did nothing wrong and if this ever happened to my dogs I would want people to sign the petition

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3141

Circumstances should be considered before a decision like this is made. In this case the dog was doing his job protecting his family.

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3142

The dog did nothing wrong ... The idiot that was bitten deserves to be put down. How dare he break the law and then complain.

(Ball Bay, 2017-09-13)

#3143

I'm horrified that a beloved family dog is going to be put down for protecting his home and family from a low life scum who was intent on committing burglary!!!! Are we not allowed to feel safe and protected in our own homes? The amount of break ins and thefts happening in Mackay are alarming and I believe Winston is a hero and should be given a medal for his actions not a death sentence!!!!!

(10 Kiber Place Ooralea Mackay Qld, 2017-09-13)

#3144

A dog spooked in the night in his own environment should be commended not condemned for protecting his family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3146

It is ridiculous to blame the dog, he was simply doing hes job and protecting hes family and loved ones. I have dogs myself and i hate the thought of it happing to them. These laws and people in charge need to be the ones "put down"

(Hervey bay, 2017-09-13)

#3152

Winston deserves a long and healthy life, and a medal for protecting his family!

(Keith hall, 2017-09-13)

#3153

I'm signing because this is unfair if an intruder come into the property the dog isn't in the wrong he is just trying to do the right thing and protect his yard and owners

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3155

The talk has done nothing wrong why would you want to put him down when he was protecting his owners wouldn't it be better if you put person down that was doing the wrong thing

(Adelaide, 2017-09-13)

#3158

To save winston.
Its not the dog fault that stupid human got in someone else house in the middle of the night.
Winston was just protecting the family!!!!

(brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#3163

The dog was doing it job by protect the family, I would expect that from my dog and no dog deserves to be put down for protecting the ones they love.

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#3164

I'm signing because this is total bullshit. We have to PROTECT our animals even on OUR property where that person shouldn't have been.

(Ravenswood, 2017-09-13)

#3165

The dog was doing his job and protecting hks owner and his house. He doesn't deserve to die.

(Gladstone, 2017-09-13)

#3167

Wrong to kill a dog protecting his family from a person doing the wrong thin

(Melbourne, 2017-09-13)

#3168

This dog should not be put down for doing protecting his property, even impounding him was the height of stupidity.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3169

Our animals need to be able to protect our homes without being seized.if you come into my yard in the middle of the night without me knowing, I hope my dog will protect me too

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#3170

The dog was in his property. If someone breaks in at night or any time, it is not the dogs fault that they protect their property. What is the issue here??? Come on, let's get back our common sense and make oour world a better please rather than giving in to stupid do gooder people!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3171

A dog that acts to protect its owner and their property should NEVER be condemned.
There are criminals and trespassers in this case and it is NOT the dog.
It is disgusting that the Council should take the side of criminals.

(Gold Coast, 2017-09-13)

#3172

This dog was doing his job and he's going to be killed for this? What the hell is this world coming to?? He bit an intruder!! Oh poor intruder NOT. What were the intruders intentions I wonder? How much damaged could this creep have done if it wasn't for this beautiful, lioyal family member doing his job protecting his family and home. Give the dog a medal and a huge treat, cut off the intruders hands and chuck him in jail!!!!

(Redlands, 2017-09-13)

#3174

I love animals and this should not be happing to this poor dog. It's not the dogs fault it's the person that came into the yard. Please let Winston go home to his family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3175

This is beurocratic garbage. The dog was only protecting his family and yard. That person was there illegally - he certainly wasn't invited in.
Total rubbish. Let Winston go home !!!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3178

This is a dog doing the right thing, looking after his family, if it was the family of the cancel meare this dog would have been seen as a hero

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#3179

It's an injustice, the creep that went into the property in the middle of the night (proabably to steal something) get put to sleep, why should the dog be punished for doing it's job????

(Melbourne, 2017-09-13)

#3182

Because the dog was protecting his family and that's their job, charge the "intruder"

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

#3183

because our dogs should protect us from Scum intruders, if the bloke( thief intruder ) wasn't doing the wrong thing he would not have gotten bitten !!

(mareeba, 2017-09-13)

#3184

I like dogs more than criminals...

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

#3187

Private property! That's what our homes are.....I'm sure everyone feels the same way! We protect our family and property however necessary. No bloody wonder there are so many robberies when the intruder is in the right! It seems we aren't allowed to protect ourselves by our laws! This dog was protecting what was his territory......please tell me, what's wrong with that! You mongrels that choose to allow the criminals all their rights and not the victims....well, in my mind...you need putting down!

(Newcastle, 2017-09-13)

#3188

The dog Winston did his job by protecting his family for love let him live he doesn't deserve to die x

(Goldcoast queensland, 2017-09-13)

This is wicked.

(Tamborine Mountain, 2017-09-13)

#3195

Ridiculous that criminals hav rights!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#3196

This dog was doing his job, protecting his family.. The intruder should be punished an not this dog...

(CAIRNS, 2017-09-13)

#3198

How dare the council do this when Winston was only protecting his property

(Gracemere, 2017-09-13)
