Time to break with Hound TV tradition – and journalistic neutrality – for a bit of editorializing. Accordingly, here’s a disclaimer: these are my personal opinions, and may not be representative of our sponsors or of any other organization we work with. So there.

So, in case you haven’t heard, on 6 May 2010, Victorian Agriculture Minister Joe Helper tabled a proposed bill amending dangerous dog laws, essentially giving more powers to local council officers to kill dogs on the spot, as well as increasing fines etc. The bill is to be debated in a few days on 20 May.

As I see it, there may be a lot of issues in the fine print, but it boils down to about four major points:

1. Dog attacks are not a problem in our community

Controversial? Not if we look at the facts. Of course, any of us would be horrified if one of our children was attacked by a dog – and yes, every time a dog attacks a person – child or adult – that’s one too many times, but that doesn’t mean that jumping up and down hysterically and calling Today Tonight or A Current Affair is going to help. A calm, rational approach is called for.

I have yet to see anyone actually demonstrate compellingly – with facts – that there actually is a dog attack problem in our community.

A visit to the Australian Bureau of Statistics website and their reports on sources of injury reveals that dog bites are such a non-issue that there’s not even any separate data published on them – they’re lumped in with bee stings, spider bites, snake bites, etc. Falling is by far the largest cause of injury. So if we put even a tenth of the resources that go into dog bite prevention into fall prevention, we should see better outcomes.

Likewise, the ABS Causes of Death survey (2008) shows that dog bites are, as you might expect, way down the bottom of the scale. Most years there are no deaths from dog attacks, and three or four people would be a very bad year indeed. Again, we’d be better off putting more resources into some of the more common preventable causes of death.

2. Current laws are sufficient – just not enforced effectively

There are already comprehensive laws protecting people from attack by dogs; and making owners responsible for the conduct of their dogs. There is even provision for dogs that have attacked people to be put down. Perhaps these laws are not being enforced properly.

In any case, how does increasing fines – or putting dogs down on the spot after the fact – prevent attacks? Is there any evidence that when dogs seriously attack humans these are “repeat offences”? No one wants their dog to attack humans (controlled bite work, like military dogs, excepted) – the consequence of this is already death for the dog, plus exposure to extremely expensive civil litigation for the owner.

3. Making council officers judge, jury, and executioner on the spot

The new laws, if passed, would allow council officers to make a life-or-death decision about your dog on the spot if they have “reasonable grounds” to believe that a further attack is imminent. This is all very well if the council officer is a “reasonable person” – and I’m sure that many or most of them are, but the point is that laws should rarely if ever be framed that way. Otherwise why not just give the police the power to do anything? After all, most of them are honest and reasonable. Of course it doesn’t work that way. These are the freedoms that society has fought for since the 13th century or so – presumption of innocence, right to a fair trial, etc. Yes, we are talking about dogs, not people; but killing dogs on the spot, etc, is punishing their owners without a fair trial as well.

Even if you agree that dogs that have attacked someone should be subject to those powers – “innocent” dogs are not off the hook, either. If your dog is found “wandering at large” (maybe a tradesperson accidentally let it out, for example), it can be destroyed within 48 hours (the current laws provide 8 days). If you happen to be away at the time and hard to contact – bad luck.

4. Banning or killing dogs because they “look dangerous”
The final major flaw, as I see it, is the interpretation of what is to constitute a dangerous or restricted dog. It’s hard enough for even experts to determine the breed of non-purebreed dogs by appearance, so they’re proposing to create their own “standard” for identifying a dangerous dog – and it has nothing to do with the genetic breed! So if your dog happens to match this arbitrary standard – bad luck. This is unscientific to the extreme – and if such rules were used to classify humans, we would be outraged.

What do you think? Post your comments below. And if you disagree with the proposal, call or e-mail the Joe Helper’s Office (Agriculture Minister), or your local MLA, and politely let them know your thoughts.

(Hound TV have asked Mr Helper’s office for an interview. Our request has been acknowledged but no interview forthcoming as yet.)

—-

Post Script (20 May) – First this; now draft Code of Practice for animal shelters to ban community participation (foster carers) so the mega-pounds can continue the killing. I may post my thougths on this soon, but in the meantime see Pets Haven, Goodfordogs.org, or SavingPets

—

Further update (28 May) – Lawyers For Animals (LFA) have published a detailed and thoughtful response to the bill.

Don’t forget to include your dog! Here are a few ideas for activities you could try together. You probably won’t have the time – or interest – to try all of them, but why not make a commitment to try one or two this year. Your dog will thank you for it!

So, here are the 10, in no particular order:

1. Teach an old dog new tricks
Your dog can learn new tricks almost no matter how old he or she is. Sure, older dogs may require more time and patience – and you may need to be a little less ambitious about what you try; but if you know what drives your dog, whether that be food, a favourite toy, or cuddles and attention, you can work on a new trick.
If you’re stuck for ideas, try searching YouTube.

2. Flyball
If you and your dog are more the social types, you’ll love flyball. It’s relay racing for dogs! Teams of four dogs (and their handlers) compete against each other. Kind of like playing “fetch” on steriods :-)
Watch our flyball story to see for yourself:

3. Obedience
Training your dog to “sit” or “drop” at home is one thing… doing it in front of a bunch of other people, dogs, and distractions – and being judged on it – is another challenge altogether! Developing your working relationship with your dog to this level will benefit both of you, and give you confidence that you can keep your dog safe under a wide range of conditions. Contact your local obedience club for details.

4. Doggy Dancing (Canine Freestyle)
If you’ve never seen Doggy Dancing, it might sound pretty loopy. In reality it’s just advanced obedience work, performed to music. Loads of fun and impressive to your non-doggy friends, too. See our story on Doggy Dancing for more info:

5. Herding
Now this one definitely isn’t for everyone. But if your dog has “herding” ancestry, whether it be Border Collie or German Shepherd; or something a little more unusual like Hungarian Puli or Norwegian Elkhound, you might want to try your hand at herding ducks, geese, or sheep. Herding is a fabulous way for your dog to exercise its instincts and breeding; not to mention a great way to hone your communication with your dog.

For more info, you could do worse than starting at the Dogs Victoria Herding info page.

6. Earthdog
If your dog is of the small, terrier-type or otherwise tunneling persuasion – for example a Jack Russell, Dachshund, or Border Terrier, here is a great way to test its instincts. Your dog must navigate its way through a series of man-made tunnels and find its quarry. Could also be handy if you have a rodent problem at home! More info at the Dogs Victoria Earthdog page.

7. Sledding/Mushing
Whether you have a Husky, a Malamute, or any healthy medium-sized dog, you can give sledding a go – even if you don’t live in or near an area which receives snowfalls. In snowless areas or the off-season, you can use a scooter! Your local Malamute, Husky, or Mushing/Sledding club would be a great place to start. See also our Malamute story from back in December 2007:

8. Frisbee
Sure, you might throw a frisbee for your dog occasionally at the park; but did you know that Canine Frisbee is actually a proper sport? That is to say, it has rules and a championship structure, and you can play it with other people and dogs? For more info check out Canine Disc Australia.

9. Therapy dog
You already know how much joy your own dog can bring you. When you’re not feeling the best, a few minutes with your dog often helps to take your mind off your problems. Well why not share the health benefits of your dog with others? Dogs have plenty of love to go around. After going through a training and accreditation process, you’ll be able to take your dog to places like nursing homes and watch the smiles he or she brings to the faces of the residents. Contact a therapy dog organization like Delta Society for more info.

10. Agility
One of my favourites, for sure! Agility is essentially showjumping for dogs. It’s high-energy for both handler and dog, and exciting and spectacular to watch. Dogs are timed performing a series of maneuvres including jumping through a tyre, going through tunnels, weaving between poles, and walking over a see-saw. The courses become more difficult as dog and handler advance through the levels. For more contact your local agility club – but first check out the agility story we did back in 2007:
