Dogs need protection and especially family dogs that defend the home from intruders at night. Taking the family dog without any proof is despicable behaviour.

The dog was doing what comes natural when a total uninvited criminal enters your families property in the middle of the night. Instead of trying to kill the dog doing the right thing Concertrate on the CRIMINAL.

You can not keep putting animals down because you think it is right we as owner have a right to They are our fur babies and are part of our family. and if they are in their own yard It is their home and of cause they are going to protect it .What gives you the right to take a life yes a life because they are our babies not yours You have absolutely no right just because they can not speak for themselves That is their protection .Give Winston back to his Family and at the least a chance Rapist and murderers and pedophiles Child bashers all have a second chance so stop thinking you all know everything Too much animal cruelty around Yes it is animal cruelty keeping this beautiful boy from his family I would hate to think what this little fellow is feeling Yes he does have feelings and he has a right to live and protect himself and his family now release him PLEASE release him

You step onto someone else's property it's a dogs purpose to protect it. If you threaten their environment they'll protect their family and home. Don't trespass. Simple. He's protecting his family. Give him back to his family and get transfer the fine to the real criminal here.

the dog was just protecting HIS family that is what we have them for we all would protect our family so why should he be punished what were they doing in the back yard in the middle of the night serves that person right for going into someones home like that

I believe that a dog should not be put down for biting an intruder who was trespassing on his owner's property. This dog is clearly properly restrained and is no danger to the law abiding public whatsoever.

Animals also have rights and quite frankly more brains than some humans.

(Gold Coast, 2017-09-14)

A dog is there to protect your property,no one should access your backyard without the occupant knowing first,by the sound of it this guy was up to no good!!!

(Hervey bay, 2017-09-14)

Dog was protecting his territory and his pack leader (man). Why should he be killed for loyalty.

(Wilby, 2017-09-14)

#7032

This should not be happening .... on so many levels this is just so wrong .... Please everyone sign this petition ..... Good Luck Winston

The dog was on his property. Someone entered his property late night early morning doing the wrong thing . Why should the dog be penalized

(Gold coast, 2017-09-14)

#7036

Dog is protecting home. Intruders have too many rights for someone committing a crime.

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#7040

The dog was protecting it's home for gods sake

(Redcliffe, 2017-09-14)

This is a much loved family dog that was just protecting his home.

(Moranbah, 2017-09-14)

A dog should be able to protect his/her yard from intruders

(Mackay, 2017-09-14)

#7046

The dog was doing its job.

(Kilcoy, 2017-09-14)

#7047

Someone needs to seriously get a brain and act responsibly. God help an intruder to my place I WOULD BITE THEM !!! But this sounds like the intruder actually hurt themselves on the fence. WHO CARES !!

(GOLD COAST, 2017-09-14)

#7048

The dog was protecting his family as you would expect if an intruder came into your yard.

(Gympie, 2017-09-14)

#7051

A Dogs primary purpose is to protect the owners and the property , if someone is illegally on the property and gets bitten then the Dog is doing it's job and the person concerned should have no right of complaint and the COUNCIL should not have the right of seizure in these circumstances , the Council needs to get their priorities in order

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

Save this precious dog

(Mount isa, 2017-09-14)

#7055

This dog was protecting his owners and property, this guy trespassed on private property, Winston was doing his job, let him go home

(Sydney, 2017-09-14)

#7056

This happens too often and is unfair and hurtful to innocent families and their fur babies. Council's need to be better informed rather than fully trusting the accuser and branding a dog as dangerous

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

#7057

The dog was doing as expected protecting it's yard

(Townsville, 2017-09-14)

#7059

He was protecting his property he should be saved don't kill him so sad

(South Australia, 2017-09-14)

#7060

How is this fair animals are there to protect their families he did the right thing entered his property and defended them.No council should be so stupid and side with entruders obviously they were there to cause trouble wake up dont do this senseless stupid act give the family back their pet and charge the other party!

(Sydney, 2017-09-14)

#7061

The intruder should be in the pound. Not the dog.

(Gympie, 2017-09-14)

#7062

This is so wrong. The dog was doing his job, deterring intruders. They should be locked up instead!

(Gladstone, 2017-09-14)

#7063

This is so wrong.

(shellharbour, 2017-09-14)

#7064

The Dog should have killed him. Thieving bastards should be more than bit if they come on a property with the intention to steal. Dog did it's job.

(Gold Coast, 2017-09-14)

#7065

This is ridiculous Winston was protecting his territory.

(Launceston, 2017-09-14)

Keep him a;live

#7067

If a person unlawfully and without permission enters my property, I want my dog to protect me even with a bite or two. It is WRONG to blame the dog or owner. The blame lies entirely with the trespasser.

(Innes Park, 2017-09-14)

#7069

a dog is supposed to protect its home and successfully did it
well done i say

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#7071

Because your council is a joke. The dog is doing its job. And if that person had of got inside and killed the family inside what then. When are the people in power positions going to pull their head out of their arse long enough to do that right thing.

(Wauchope, 2017-09-14)

#7074

Why was the crook trying to break in - he is the one who should be destroyed - the dog is a HERO !!!!

(Gympie, 2017-09-14)

#7076

It's completely idiotic for anyone with common sense to blame a dog or human for their actions when someone breaks the law and enters their property without permission.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

#7077

Laws in australia are some of the worst in the world

(Mackay, 2017-09-14)

#7079

Because he does not deserve to die!!!!

(Tootgarook, 2017-09-14)

#7083

I'm signing because the dog was only protecting his family. The intruder probably was aggressive towards the dog as well. Anyway person unlawfully entering a property deserves to get bitten by any dog that lives on the property.

(Sunshine Coast, 2017-09-14)

#7092

Council always go the revenue raising path rather than learn the actual truth,typical.

(Glossodia, 2017-09-14)

A dog should not be punished for protecting his home

(Geraldton, 2017-09-14)

#7095

It's time common sense prevails

(Caloundra West, 2017-09-14)

#7096

i DONT BELIEVE IN KILLING THE DOG FOR PROTECTING ITS FAMILY ON THEIR OWN PROPERTY

(bowraville, 2017-09-14)

#7097

because the dog was doing it's job and if the scumbag didn't invade it's turf then he wouldn't got bit

(Darlington, 2017-09-14)

#7098

Dog was just doing his job.
No proof.
Council are a real piece of work.

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#7100

Is dog was just protecting his property. What was the person trespassing doing there!

(Sydney, 2017-09-14)

#7104

He was just protecting his people and property....these laws are pathetic

(Cairns, 2017-09-14)

#7106

I think this is stupid as the dog was doing it s job.

(Caboolture, 2017-09-14)

#7107

Why punish the dog for protecting his family if a dog can't protect you what can you do to protect yourself criminals cry when they get caught and the courts let them of and in this case put the dog to sleep hopefully not best of luck to the family

(grafton, 2017-09-14)

#7110

The family are in the right, dog was protecting its territory in enclosed yard. Intruder and neighbour should be prosecuted not the poor animal.
WAKE UP COUNCIL .... you do need proof !!!!

(Yeppoon, 2017-09-14)

#7112

I'm signing because if I'm allowed to defend my family against an intruder then so is my dog.

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#7113

Winston has a right to defend his home and his people on his own turf, free Winston this is so not right

(Dorrigo, 2017-09-14)

#7115

The dog was doing his job protecting his family and their property. That is what dogs do and one reason many families have them. Too many break-ins and even when caught they get off with a slap on the wrist. Free Winston.

(Maroochydore, 2017-09-14)

#7117

The dog was just doing his job , why should he die because he was doing his job

(Monto, 2017-09-14)

#7122

Winston was protecting his family which is what he should do on his own property! And we have to speak up because he can't!❤

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

#7123

I do not believe someone should be able to enter premises of a night - without reason - and then make a complaint about an animal on the premises. This dog, if he did attack an alleged trespasser was merely protecting family and / or property. If Mackay Council cannot give 100% proof that this was the dog involved, they should not even get involved.

(Carruchan, 2017-09-14)

#7125

It's not fair that they don't have to provide proof. Why kill a potentially innocent dog without any evidence that he did something wrong. And the dude who was eligibly bitten shouldn't have been there in the first place

(Thangool, 2017-09-14)

#7126

I don't believe this dog should be destroyed for its natural instincts people have dogs as companions and protection if people don't want to be bitten they shouldn't enter unknown yards

(Townsville, 2017-09-14)

#7128

This dog is a hero. We should be safe in our homes, not fight the council to feel safe.

(Aldavilla, 2017-09-14)

#7130

The dog was justified in protecting the family from an intruder at night.

(Emerald, 2017-09-14)

#7132

He was doing his job protecting his master property

(Beachmere Qld, 2017-09-14)

#7134

Criminals are the ones in the wrong!
A dog protecting its family is not in the wrong and does not deserve to pay with its life.

(Imbil, 2017-09-14)

#7135

They deserve to keep their family pet! It was just protecting his family

(Sunshine coast, 2017-09-14)

#7143

To help save this pet.... It was doing its job guarding on the family property.... Please give it back to the owner and family.... That person bitten, should of had permission to go onto the property, if not, he was intruding.

(Pacific Pines, 2017-09-14)

#7144

I have a dog for protection and would want them to act if an intruder persists in entering my property. If the person shouldn't be there then the dog is doing it's job. How about putting the intruder down?

(Charters towers, 2017-09-14)

#7145

This dog has done nothing wrong and plenty right.

(Sydney, 2017-09-14)

#7149

This is crazy, if you break into someones home you deserve to get bitten.

(BENALLA, 2017-09-14)

#7150

Because I'm not stupid and the dog did what it was born to.... Defend family/home charge the intruder

(Melbourne, 2017-09-14)

#7152

It is unacceptable to euthanase a dog who was protecting his property and family. Change these ridiculous laws

(Ormeau, 2017-09-14)

#7156

even if the dog had bitten the intruder,it was night what was he doing in someones yard, not the dog's fault the intruder should be prosecuted not the dog

(Devonport, 2017-09-14)

#7160

The owners attitude was probably pretty poor but the dog did his job and protected the family. Punish the intruder.

(Cairns, 2017-09-14)

#7161

It's wrong to punish the dog and its owners because of a criminal

(Casino, 2017-09-14)

#7165

As a single mum I got a dog as protection and would expect her to do the same!

(Hervey Bay, 2017-09-14)

#7166

It's the right thing to do

(Mount isa, 2017-09-14)

#7167

This is wrong. People have dogs to protect their family. This pup has done nothing wrong. The man he bit should be arrested

(Mackay, 2017-09-14)

#7168

Im signing because a dog defending there owners house/home shouldnt be put down and im appalled with what intruders can get away with in our society

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

#7171

Its pretty sad that a dog may be put down because someone entered its own yard without permission.

(Gold Coast, 2017-09-14)

#7172

You can not murder an animal without proof they are dangerous. In this case the dog was protecting his family on their property so by definition it makes having a guard dog or even a police dog illegal in this council. Common sense and compassion clearly lacking

(Warragul, 2017-09-14)

#7173

If there was an intruder and Winston bit him why should Winston be punished? he did what he was there to do he BIT AN INTRUDER, he was simply protecting his home and humans, good on him, at least he knows his priorities, more so that the idiots of the council who seized him and the fine imposed on the owner of $1500.00 should be cancelled and the council should apologise to the owner for declaring the dog dangerous, the dog did what his instincts told him and to protect his property and his humans, what the council should do is have the intruder charged for trespassing and unlawful entry then give the dog free treats for 12 months for doing a great job. WELL DONE WINSTON.

(Jandakot, 2017-09-14)

#7175

Nobody should come into someone's yard at that time of night. The dog was doing his job. What was that person doing there. If the council kills this dog than by god they need to be seriously booted out.

(Tasmania, 2017-09-14)

You pricks need to grow a brain.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-14)

#7179

There is no proof and if someone was bitten in a closed yard the dog was doing its job protecting the family!!
Free the dog!

(Queanbeyan, 2017-09-14)

#7180

It's unfair and wrong!

(Majors Creek, 2017-09-14)

Sick of seeing innocent animals being killed because of stupid humans. The dog did his job and protected his family.

(Rye, vic, 2017-09-14)

The dog was only protecting his home and family. No reason for him to be punished for him just doing his job.

(Gin gin, 2017-09-14)

(Redland Bay, 2017-09-14)

When the family protector is blamed for protecting its family against God knows what fate, it's time for the community to rise up & challenge the lawmakers on their rediculous position!

A person enters your property late at night uninvited deserves what they get!

(Hamilton, 2017-09-14)

#7200

Intruders are NOT meant to be on the property.
Dogs are kept for protection.
If you are where you shouldn't be, in the middle of the night no less...you deserve what you get.
SAVE WINSTON...jail the scum intruder.
