Subject: Brindi
I am appalled by the decision to euthanize Brindi. Please, please,
exercise your discretion to return her to her owner subject to such
conditions as you may impose. This is a matter for educating the
owner - not for killing Brindi. The evidence suggests that this
dog lacks proper training. It is over-exuberant and obviously
excitable when taken for a walk. This is common amongst dogs who
require considerable exercise and who spend most of their time
within the confines of a residential property. Proper training is
all that is required.
The evidence is that she poses no threat to humans and the
incidents involving other dogs have been reasonably minor.
I have 2 dogs and one of them exhibited almost identical behavior
as that ascribed to Brindi. It was not the dog's fault. It was
mine. As a result I had both the dog and myself trained. The
behavior ceased and he is now a joy to take for a walk - on or off
the leash.
Please allow Brindi to be trained and socialized with other dogs.
Please do not kill her. I realize that Council has a duty to
ensure that dogs are properly managed by their owners for the
safety of others. But in making a decision about the fate of a
dog, may I respectfully submit that such a decision should be
tempered with justice and having regard to all the facts of this
case, it would be a travesty of justice if Brindi is forced to pay
the ultimate price.
Please re-consider in favor of Brindi and permit justice to prevail.
Kind regards
Peter Steele
