Winston is a family member protecting his family - in his own yard! It is disgraceful and disgusting that the council have seized him

We need to keep our pets safe, especially when they are protecting their families

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1008

Dogs are there to protect us from intruders. The intruder should be the one in trouble not the dog!

(Bucasi, 2017-09-12)

#1009

(Gold Coast, 2017-09-12)

Intruder was in the wrong not Winston

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1015

The intruder should be punished not this poor dog for protecting his family. Regardless of breed

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1018

We have a dog at our place
I hope to god this never happens to us

(West Mackay, 2017-09-12)

The dog was doing it's job. Leave it alone or give it "another chance" it's nature for them to protect the family home at night time.
Humans always want to solve all problems by killing them :( espically when the problem can't have a voice of its own.

Honesty you need proof before you killananimal. I know for a fact there is a drug addict in Sarina on Maudsley's Rs that blames everyone's dogs in the street for all kinds of things and it's all in her head because she's high on ice!! How would you feel if this was a fictional story made up by a drug addict and you're going to kill the family pet? Proof first!

No proof . ...... winston can not speak for himself . what right does intruders have coming into ones private property to theive . we want to see the pictures of the bite. hope it was a good one if any . the dog was doing his job . if you want signage on fence and also charge more on registration you had better make 80% of Mackay do the same. this is absolutely uncalled for to go this far. seriously pull ya head in. give the family there dog back and concentrate on real things. stop wasting money. GOD help intruders that come to my property lol.

(mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1026

This is wrong and ridiculous. An intruder entered the property in the middle of the night and the dog was protecting the family from the intruder. The dog was properly secured and fenced in the yard. This is the dog's home and as such should not be harmed, let alone destroyed because of another humans wrong doing. Let Winston go home!

Einstein was there to protect his family and that's what he was doing.punish the criminal not the protector.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1032

Should not have been seized from his own yard with out proof. Should be allowed to protect his own property.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1033

Because councils are out of control ..

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1034

#1036

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1037

A dog shouldn't be punished for trying to protect their owners by attacking an intruder!

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1038

The dog deserved a medal was just doing his job

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1041

SAVE WINSTON !!

He was protecting his family!!

(Qld, 2017-09-12)

#1045

The dog was only protecting his domain, the intruder should not of been in the yard. Wake up council

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1051

Intruders have no rights!! Dogs and humans are naturally protective!

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1052

He's obviously a much-loved member of the family and was doing what comes naturally. Besides that, if there was an uninvited person on the property then they took that risk of their own free will.

(Armidale, 2017-09-12)

#1054

This dog deserves to live. He was only protecting his much loved family.

(Ipswich, 2017-09-12)

(Shepparton, 2017-09-12)

#1068

Why kill a dog for doing its job??

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1075

Winston was just doing his job as you would expect any dog to do if there is an intruder.
Let him live, he was only protecting his family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1076

The dog was doing his duty, protecting his family and their property. This is why people have dogs. Lock up the lowlife intruder instead, and restore the poor dog to his family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1078

I'm signing this because I don't think this dog is dangerous nor do I think he should be put down he was doing what any dog would do and protect his land /house and humans. The person who has complain about this dog needs to be the one getting having words with. Free this dog/family member.!!!!

(mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1080

It is disgusting that the council don't require proof. The dog was protecting its family. With a human you wouldn't kill them if they were defending their family... disgusting

(Cairns, 2017-09-12)

#1081

I think its wrong that they want to put the dog down. the poor dog was only doing its job and protecting its property and the family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1083

This dog was protecting his family like mine do. Too many crimes happening and we need our dogs to look after us

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1084

The dog was doing its job, protecting its family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1087

This is not RIGHT .

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1089

Winston was protecting his family, I'm shocked to think what could have happened if he didn't stop the thief. Like would we have another race victim or missing child. WAKE UP MCC

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1090

This dog was protecting its domain and doing his job...he should not have to suffer and be put to death. It is wrong

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1093

Why kill a beautiful like this because it was protecting its family and where it lives please save this dog

(Shellharbour, 2017-09-12)

#1094

We have dogs to protect our families and it appears that was all this dog was doing.

(Tiwnsville, 2017-09-12)

#1095

You should be able to protect your own property that you work for from the scumbags who want everything for nothing. Bring National Service back for the scumbags. Poor Winston, protecting his family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1097

The intruder was trespassing . Why should the dog be killed for protecting his family. Punish the intruder and reward the dog.

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1099

It's wrong that this is happening! A dogs duty is to protect its home!

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1100

This dog is a protector of his family council should reconsider

(brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1101

Proof is always required by law.

(South Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1103

Just protecting his owners !

(O'SULLIVAN BEACH, 2017-09-12)

#1104

This doggo was just protecting his family. Only fools enter yards with dogs. Doggo did a good job in my opinion.

(Cairns, 2017-09-12)

#1106

the dog in question has every right to be in his own yard protecting his family and to stop intruders from entering un invited

(Bargara, 2017-09-12)

#1107

BECAUSE ALL councils SUCK. that's why.

(Brisbane., 2017-09-12)

#1108

If you enter uninvited then you are trespassing and if you are injured then it is not the owners fault whether by animal or object

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1112

I'm signing because the Winston was doing his job by protecting the ones he loves. OH, and his owner SHOULD Not have been FINED

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1118

The dog was doing it's job protecting his family.

(Mirani, 2017-09-12)

#1120

All the dog was doing was protecting his patch. What justice is it that the Intruder gets off & the dog looses its life. Thats bullshit!!

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1122

This is just insane! These councils have far to much power and not an ounce of common sense. Wake up to yourself you council idiots!

(Agnes water, 2017-09-12)

#1123

Dont put a family member down just because he's protecting the family. .. LEAVE WINSTON ALONE .

(Currajong, 2017-09-12)

#1127

Dogs lives matter to!! They are family

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1128

I think what has happened is ridiculous and the council are out of line!!

(Walkerston, 2017-09-12)

#1130

A dogs job is to protect their family. Winston was doing just this. This man would not have allegedly been bitten if he was not breaking the law by trespassing and possibly attempted break and enter. Mackay Regional Council, pull your heads in and look at the bigger picture.

(Walkerston, 2017-09-12)

#1134

give the family pet back p

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1137

I'm signing because that's a ******* joke! I'd want my dog to protect my family if an intruder came to my house in the middle of the night. Leave the poor dog alone just protecting its beloved family!

(Lennox head, 2017-09-12)

#1138

Heartbreaking - this dog was simply protecting its family. The fine is outrageous, let alone what is happening now. Typical MRC. I really hope you get your dog back.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-12)

#1145

This is a disgrace why should winston pay with his life foe protecting his home how do you know he wasn't provoked kick a dog will do that

(Melbourne, 2017-09-12)

#1146

This is ridiculous the dog was doing his job ,we are living in a crime wave and most people buy dogs for security

(Townsville, 2017-09-12)

#1151

We own dogs to protect our families in our homes , this dog was only doing his job , he doesn't deserve to die

(Mareeba, 2017-09-12)

#1152

Winston was protecting his home.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1153

The dog has done nothing wrong.

(Bexley, 2017-09-12)

#1156

Where is the proof. Innocent.until proven guilty

(Deception Bay, 2017-09-12)

#1160

A family dog is part of the family and protecting its family and home is what we love about our pets. Why are the ones that break law given all the protection. This dog deserves a medal not a needle. Please let him live

(Gordonvale, 2017-09-12)

#1161

I'm sick of all these grubs coming into someone's yard in the middle of the night breaking in and then the people doing the right thing get punished the dog shouldn't have been so nice to the low life!

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1162

I'm dining as I like it's tinge of the council to be doing what they are to when all he was doing is looking after his family

(Yandara, 2017-09-12)

#1167

You should have the right to protect your own home and family. The law needs to be changed if a person is not invited onto your property and are bitten by your dog, that's on them.

(Maryborough, 2017-09-12)

#1168

I think thsts disgraceful of them sentencing this family pet to death after some person came into their back yard which is of course private property... what the hell was he doing there in the first place... not anything legal that's for sure... shame on you people for you actions. Absolute disgrace

(Hatton Vale QLD, 2017-09-12)

#1171

The dog was only protecting his family and what I great job he did, I say good on the dog. The intruder deserves to get bitten and whatever punishment is dealt to him because he was invading other people's property. The dog is definitely a hero protecting his family because the outcome for the family could have been devastating if that dog didn't deterred the intruder. Why is it always the innocent that gets punished?

(Sydney, 2017-09-12)

#1172

Has it been proven that the dog did bite? If it did then it is wrong to euthanize a dog that was clearly protecting it's territory and it's family. It is a natural instinct for any dog. The intruder should never have been there without owners permission anyway.

(Sale, 2017-09-12)

#1174

This is absolutely appalling. A dog protects its property and it gets put down. The intruder was obviously there for untoward reasons and in my opinion has no right to make a complaint of any kind. The laws are a joke, the council is a joke and a beloved family pet is going to die as a result.
Wake up idiots. Political correctness is not always right.

(Canberra, 2017-09-12)

#1176

The dog was doing its job

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1177

This dog does not deserve to die when he was only trying to protect his home from the intruder.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1180

The dog was doing its job to protect yet criminals think they can do wrong and get away with it.

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1181

The perpetrator is the trespasser, not an innocent animal protecting his family

(Hay Point, 2017-09-12)

#1186

Wouldn't have happened if this person wasn't doing the wrong thing

(Marian, 2017-09-12)

#1187

This is sheer lunacy!

(Mooloolah, 2017-09-12)

#1191

Let this family pet go, protecting his family from intruders is his job. Disgusting Council behaviour.

(Melbourne, 2017-09-12)

#1192

A dog doing his family a service and protecting them and the property against an intruder does not deserve to be put down for doing so!

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1194

If an intruder comes in the dog was only doing its job protecting his home and family

(Traralgon, 2017-09-12)

#1195

I'm signing because I think it's wrong they are trying to put a family dog down for doing something all dogs do, guarding their family home!

(Bargara, 2017-09-12)

#1197

I am outraged that the council can put down a family pet because an intruder complained that it protected their home!

(Airlie beach, 2017-09-12)

#1198

This beautiful family member was only doing what any family member would do when an intruder comes into one's personal space and that is PROTECT the ones you LOVE!

(Mackay, 2017-09-12)

#1200

Because the dog was doing his job. The person shouldn't have been in their yard to start with. He was there to steal something or break into the house.

(Walkerston, 2017-09-12)
