Sin Fong Chan, people are responsible for animals - they are defenceless and it is up to us to look after them as a community. People, well, clearly there are a lot of idiots out there

I Love Amstaffs, not all animals are defenceless, otherwise there is not the need for any law to put away pit bulls, which have track records of attacking and killing people without being provoked.

City of Monash will be the greatest and most humane City on planet Earth if the ratepayers care about the wellbeing of their fellow humans as much as they do with Kerser.

The dog was unregistered because the owner just moved to the neighbourhood. Was the dog registered when the owner was residing in other suburb prior to moving to City of Monash? If so, the owner should have known better and took all necessary precaution NOT to let the dog roam into the neighbour's backyard. Did the owner show or wrote to the Council officer about the previous registration?

We don't like many laws, but we can't be bothered to have the laws changed until things happen to us. If you are a blackberry lover and like to grow blackberry in your backyard, here is news for you. "Blackberry bushes are recognised noxious weeds in the City of Monash. Residents are required to ensure that they eradicate any such growth."

The Council Chamber is often empty during Council Meetings, an indication of ratepayers' apathy! Speak out before things get to the repair damage mode.

An unregistered dog found in a neighbour's backyard? Fair dinkum, do people seriously think that laws are meant to be broken? Why was the dog unregistered? Was it just an oversight?

I am a ratepayer, and my interest is my hip pocket!

It is a matter of "damned if they do, or damned if they don't".

We can argue that random breath or drug test, breast screening, and child vaccination, etc are waste of public money. Many drivers will not be found exceeding .05 alcohol level in blood or tested positive under the influence of drugs. Many women will live happily without the stress of carrying the life threatening time bombs in their bodies. As for child vaccination, only a infinitesimal small number will limp with polio or die of measles.

It is not an easy task for Council officers to identify dogs with 100% certainty as dangerous dogs. They are not experts in this field, and if are, they will not be working with the Council, but earning mega bucks in such specialised area.

I find it difficult to understand the psyche of many people keeping animals including dogs that attack people viciously without being provoked. People learn self defence is not that they intend to kill and seriously injure others. People owning weapons are meant to protect themselves in time of danger, not to use them on their foes.

Owners of dangerous dogs have an obligation towards the well being of fellow humans to surrender the dogs. Obviously, the best prevention is not to own one. Should a owner has any suspicion about the breed of the dog, or the dog's appearance resembles a dangerous dog, check out with the breeder with written certification or with a specialist. They do take their dogs to a vet, don't they?
