dangerous dogs on loose, suburb in lockdown

last week a woman who houses 4 bull mastifs saw her dog attacking the neighbour dog. she rushed out to stop it and the 4 dogs turned on her and mauled her to within an inch of life, she is still critical. a passer by managed to beat the dogs and get them off her. police called and two dogs were shot on site.on the news they showed the ambulance officers running for their lives under fire cover of the police to the house. 2 dogs got away. the entire small suburb where this occured is now under lock down and residents are not allowed to leave houses excepot for school and work, and not allowed on the streets as are service men ect (telephone repairers ect). children at local school not allowed outside and are escorted individually to classes and cars. shops lock door and will open when you knock. police have told everyone thay will now hunt the dogs and use weapons so no go zones everywhere. the dogs were sighted yesterday in the bush near the owners house. police are worried the dogs are getting hungry and will attack worse. so now it is a full scale hunt and shoot on site. poor doggies, oww.
firstly is is really acceptable to have that many muscle breeds in the one yard, she was not rescue they were just her pets?
can those dogs be rehabilitated??
do you think this woman should be held fully responsible and have to pay bills for hunt ect??
i just have this pic in my head of 100 coppers all with guns sneaking around, whilst too little doggies run and have fun in the bush, im sure they are grinning the doggies. it is hard to hate the dogs, i dont believe it is there fault but hers.
but what do you know, on news last night they are now talking of banning more breeds, freaks me out as i have big dog and GSD featured 5th on the most dangerous list in the news paper (yeah right).
sad what one fool can do to the rest of us and a lovely breed. so here we go....

sorry dear but i am usless at computers so i have had to cut and paste articals (story in most mjr papers), cannot find a decent one to tell whole story so here is what i found it is hard to find the right one, boy am i useless. oh and guess what they are calling them - pitbulls, that is crap, i saw them on the news and they were mastiff, not pitbulls (the breed is banned here so how did she hide them, yeah they were mastiffs). so just blame the worst breed for it so then they get worse rep, makes me mad .i cant find any from yesterday talking about lockdown will keep looking but for now here is whati have

from the Sydney m0rning herald-
Traps laid for roaming pitbulls

26may04

TRAPS have been laid to try to catch two vicious pitbull terriers on the loose in a south-west Sydney community since they savaged their owner and her neighbour at the weekend.

Council workers and police today continued their hunt for the dogs, which have been roaming Kemps Creek since Saturday afternoon when they and two other dogs killed a Jack Russell terrier before turning on the woman and her neighbour.
The dogs attacked the 33-year-old woman at her home when she tried to break up the attack on her neighbour's Jack Russell.

Neighbour Phil Ciantar stepped in but was chased by the dogs when he tried to fend them off by whipping them with his daughter's horse bridle.

The dogs' owner today remained in Liverpool Hospital in a stable condition.


this from police web site-

Woman Injured Following Dog Attack – Kemps Creek
23, May 2004
Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding an incident which resulted in a woman being mauled by a number of dogs at Kemps Creek yesterday.

About 5pm yesterday (Saturday 22 May 2004), a 33-year-old woman was in the yard of her Racemosa Street property when she saw her four pit bull terriers attacking a Jack Russell Terrier.

When the woman attempted to stop the pit bulls, they turned on her, causing lacerations and puncture wounds to both her arms.

A male neighbour went to her assistance and managed to divert the attention of the dogs, enabling the woman to run into her house.

The dogs then attacked the 41-year-old neighbour, causing a laceration to his right bicep.

The man managed to run to safety by climbing a fence.

Police attended and were confronted by the dogs. Officers used capsicum spray in an attempt to subdue the animals, however, when this was unsuccessful, a single shot was fired from a service revolver into the ground. This caused the dogs to run to the rear of the property, and enabled police and ambulance officers to assist the female victim, who was then taken to Liverpool Hospital for treatment.

The Jack Russell Terrier died as a result of injuries sustained in the attack by the other dogs.



they are not PITBULLS, how could they bwe, they are mastiffs and it sucks that the police are using this breeds name. bulls are banned her, how could someone hide 4 of them in suburban yard, i just do not believe that at all, and i saw the dogs, not bulls. all news paper articles have IN the heading PITBULLS,just appalling.

Mel,that's the media for you,not all people know of Bull Mastiffs,but they certainly know of"bad"pit-bulls,thank's to the very source.
It's horrible about the little Jack Russel,he would not stand a chance
I can understand the dogs need to be killed,I am just hoping it will be quick ...
I picture all these crazed people with guns,taking pot-shots at everything that moves,a very scary scenario
