Last week it was alleged that Louth pound picked up a dog that appears to be a staffy or small pitbull and killed it within days of having it. I have requested under the FOI Act to be advised if this male dog was 19' at the wither per your unusually cruel legislation that seems to target any large dog regardless of breed. In this case the dog did not look to be XL in size. It is alleged the owner tried to stop them, but they killed Kodi anyway. There will be a march #justiceforkodie next week. Other dogs are 'allegedly' being threatened to be killed by dog wardens. I have an English bulldog. This breed was made famous by Winston Churchill and is well known among people who are 'breed aware' to be gentle family orientated dogs. The history of this dog goes back to the 16th century. Eventually becoming domesticated as a house pet in the early 19th century. If I was to look at most breeds they come from a hunting background. Dogs were originally for work, for purpose, NOT for sitting on couches. Will all these dogs now get killed? Your legislation appears to give way to this. Your legislation actually targets ANY dog 19' at the wither that is perceived to be in good muscular shape. A fit labrador can fall into this category. A Cane Corsa, the same breed that Messi (the famous soccer player) also fits into this category. What assurances do I have that your uneducated inexperienced dog wardens wont 'mis identify its breed', take it and kill it after February 1st? If my dog got incorrectly taken and killed I would more than likely have a heart attack. What appeals process do you have in place to stop mistakes by Dog Wardens and vets? It seems unconstitutional to NOT have an appeals process in place to claim back ones property? And in this case, a living breathing, feeling animal that is a family member. This cull seems very anti-human rights and undemocratic.
