Dog Attack and poor form from the Rangers

[scott oz]

Hi Scott.  How many times have you taken these matters to court?  I did this for a iving.  Classic example.  Blue heeler bite to leg of 63 yo walking down the street.  Hospital for four weeks, skin grafts, a year to walk without a cane.  $600.  Fine was $650.

Dazzlieer agree fines are minimal hence take civil action. If you are saying $600 was the compensation awarded well must be a Tas thing in NSW hospitalised for  4 weeks would be a lot more

Moving on looks like a solution has been found

Maybe.  The issue with courts is that the bad guy gets to tell a story before the mag makes their decision.  They BS and carry on and blah blah they get a pittance of the fine.  There is also another issue.  Rangers are not cops and most couldnt take a statement to save themselves.  Not their fault but the lack of training they get.  They are also very inexperienced in court and poor witnesses.  So the chances of losing in court is high.  I know they are generalisations however that is my experience in a number of places.  Anyway, best of luck.  Cheers

Hi Graeme,

Glad your daughter is on the way to recovery.

I own a dog that tries to lick bones back to life, but it would still not leave him unattended with a child. As you said dogs can be unpredictable so why take the chance.

I hope the council agrees to your sensible conditions however they probably would complain that they do not have the resources to monitor them properly (which they probably don't).

Good luck and hopefully your daughter recovers quickly (both physically and emotionally) dogs can be wonderful friends.
