Dog put down after attack on woman
(...)
Constable Brent Homan, of the Kaikoura Police, said because the owners had volunteered to have the dog put down, they would not be charged.
No point volunteering your dog if you're going to get charged. Might as well run from the law as 'you've got nothing left to loose'.
He said the dog had obviously escaped from its yard and when he went to visit, it seemed like a jovial, friendly and non-intimidating animal. Of course, it's a border collie !!
The woman who was attacked was concerned it could attack again, and the owners were extremely distraught about the episode, he said. I would really be nice to see a picture of the 'victim's' leg. Not that I don't believe her, it's just that it is a little rare for a border collie to attack and I'd like to see what was 'attacked'...

Will all animals, one must give them the space and respect they require. All dogs will instinctively react to triggers, be it a certain scent, look or memory of a past ill-treatment. Even the calmest of dogs still have instincts which is what makes them the particular species of animal that they are - just as we have those that identify us as human beings (lies, selfishness, greed, affinity to drugs etc). Domestication does not remove all instincts. If you love your dogs, treat them with respect or one day they will show you what respect is required. Pity that the dog always pays and not the owner who is ultimately responsible in all dog attacks. Dogs are great. Doggy-love.
