本来并不复杂的一个意外事件因为某小姐的"煽情""诉说"变成了一个彻头彻尾的公众事件。本来以为这事情结束了,结果越来越多的大侠or大虾跳出来说咬人的狗就必须要"put down",于是刚才看完书就Google出一个Dog Control Act 1996看了下,一搜索,悲剧了。
Dog Control Act 1996全文搜索不到put,也搜索不到down。
不知道put down这个词是谁先开始用的,反正DCA1996里面用的是destroy和destruction。 终于有位义士用了destroy,他是这样说的:"this dog should be destoryed, the law is the law."
下面是关于狗咬人的S57 Dogs attacking persons or animals中的两条
57(2) The owner of a dog that makes an attack described in subsection (1) commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine not exceeding $3,000 in addition to any liability that he or she may incur for any damage caused by the attack.
57(3) If, in any proceedings under subsection (2), the Court is satisfied that the dog has committed an attack described in subsection
(1) and that the dog has not been destroyed, the Court must make an order for the destruction of the dog unless it is satisfied that the circumstances of the offence were exceptional and do not warrant destruction of the dog.
Hutt City Council v Short involved a mayoral candidate canvassing properties in the area. When the candidate entered onto the dog owner's property, 'Bruno' attacked him causing extensive injury. The Court found that the dog owner had committed an offence against s57(5) of the Dog Control Act 1996 (the Act) but there were exceptional circumstances that justified not destroying the dog:
'Bruno' was on his own property
'Bruno' advertised his presence by barking and the candidate ignored those warning signals
'Bruno' was restrained in an appropriate manner (tied to the clothesline)
'Bruno' behaved as a watchdog - might be expected to react and the candidate has to take some responsibility for the confrontation.
