Queensland authorities want to get tough on owners of dangerous dogs with new laws that could see them jailed. The state could also become the first to completely ban some breeds.
If you just go off reports or surrendered dogs you will miss out on smaller breeds like chihuahuas whose aggressive behaviour isn’t seen as serious enough to do anything about
I’m not sure what the best methodology is, but I’m not sure this objection really holds much weight.
Because if a dog is “aggressive” but unable to actually cause any real harm…what does it matter? I’m most interested in taking an approach that actually reduces harm. That’s naturally going to mean that larger dogs are more likely to be affected than smaller ones, and I see no problem with that.
because then if it is genetic and someone’s chihuahua or other small dog runs off and sires pups with a larger dog you’ve got the same issue all over again.
