Dangerous dog put down.

Yesterday morning a dog that is considered extremely dangerous was put down after being on death row for the past 13 months while the owner of the dog fought a destruction order. The dog which was named Billy is a mastiff-pit-bull cross weighing 45 kilos and has been compared to a loaded gun. A spokesman for the High court says that the council had serious concerns about the threat the dog posed to the community and that the dog was one out of the box in terms of its aggression and would have been a huge threat back on the streets.

The dog was put on Death row because it attacked a veterinarian and the person who was looking after him. Animal control officers says he was the most fierce dog they had ever encountered. Usually the aggression subsides over time in the pound, But there was no change at all with this dog.

There are many dangerous dog breeds, But are they naturally dangerous or is it the owers that are raising them that way. Any dog of any breed can snap at any time but who should be responsible for them when they do attack. Dogs in New Zealand are supposed to kept in a fenced yard, If they are out in the street they are supposed to be accompanied by the owner and on a leash.
