Dog education for owners mooted


A Temuka show dog breeder believes dog owners should face similar restrictions to those gun owners face.

Anne-Marie Forde said there were no bad dogs only ill-equipped owners who needed to be held accountable.

"They can be lethal weapons if the wrong people have them."
Mrs Forde said people could blame dog attacks on aggressive breeds but the problem was with uneducated owners.

Mrs Forde suggested there should be compulsory education for dog owners prior to ownership. She would support dog ownership licensing if it was sensibly compiled and managed in a similar way to gun laws.
But would you want to use gun laws as the basis for a dog education programme... hum... ?
