Its outrageous to kill a loving family dog for protecting his and his families home from an illegal intruder!(Melbourne, 2017-09-13)

The dog was only doing the right thing and the neighbour wants to get the facts right before complaining.(Proserpine, 2017-09-13)
#4022
Its outrageous that a dog can't defend his territory against an intruder and its equally outrageous that no proof is required. Killing dogs in these circumstances is giving burglars a free reign. Punish criminals, not pets!(Collie, 2017-09-13)

Dog was protecting his own grounds his family home(New southwales, 2017-09-13)

Home owners struggle everyday to keep their family safe from intruders and criminals - take away our right to defend ourselves and our property - we are lost(Charters Towers, 2017-09-13)

Because i think that putting a family pet to sleep for protecting the yard and its family is so wrong(B, 2017-09-13)
#4028
Im signing this petition because this dog was simply only trying to protect his home and family. This dog only done harm because this intruder was unknown to him and he was doing what is a natural instinct to protect his loved ones. People should be more worried about preventing the scummy people of this town who think it is okay to go into peoples property, and potentially breaking in, not this poor innocent dog. Makes me sick to think they want to put this poor dog down because of some low life who goes on private property without permission. Disgusting.(Gladstone , 2017-09-13)
#4032
The intruder should be punished for breaking the law, not the family pet. This is absolutely heartbreaking, people will be devastated.(Darwin, 2017-09-13)
#4034

#4036
This dog has done absolutely nothing wrong but protect his family and home from an intruder. Pets are family and they have no right to be treated this way. I'm totally disgusted and enraged that this could even be happening!!!!!(Townsville, 2017-09-13)
#4037
He was doing his job protecting his family!(4560, 2017-09-13)

The Dog was protecting its Family. Should not be put down!!!!(Mackay , 2017-09-13)
#4040
Dog's yard. Not his. Shouldn't punish an animal for protecting his family an possessions. No different then charging a home owner for protecting there belongings only you wouldn't kill them over it would you.(dalby, 2017-09-13)
#4043
Its wrong to kill an animal, humans get a fair trial just because animals can't defend themselves verbally doesn't mean they shouldn't have a fair trial. That's when humans have to step on and talk for them!!!(Townsville, 2017-09-13)
#4044
our dogs are not just protectors but are part of our family you should be praising this dog for his actions in protecting his family from an intruder and fining that intruder for his tresspass(Mackay, 2017-09-13)
#4046
If this were my dog, he had every right to bite someone trying to illegally enter the premises.(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

Dogs are there to help protect us. The intruder should be the one prosecuted not the dog who was clearly doing its job and protecting its family from this lowlife(Townsville , 2017-09-13)

#4070
What a disgrace MRC.(Mackay, 2017-09-13)
#4072
No dog should be put down because they did their job protecting their family from an intruder. Shame on the intruder for allowing this to happen. If he wasn't trespassing then he wouldn't have been bitten. Gone are the days where you can protect your property from evil.(Townsville, 2017-09-13)
#4075
I'm signing this someone has to have a voice for the poor animals , would you put a human down for defending his property if an intruder came to rob it .(Brisbane , 2017-09-13)
#4078
I believe this dog should not be put down due to doing its job. Intruders shouldn't be breaking to someone's property with dogs because they are very territorial.(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)
#4079
Cruel and unfair. I hope the dog gets to live a happy life with its family.(Mackay , 2017-09-13)
#4081
A dog protecting its property and owners should not be given a death sentence. This is ridiculous.(Deception Bay , 2017-09-13)
#4083
The dog is protections its family. I'm sure he's been out on walks and has been behaved. Simply doing what any (human) family member would do.(Melbourne , 2017-09-13)
#4085
A beautiful family dog simply cannot be put down for doing his job & protecting his family. Please, please do not kill Winston(Sharon, 2017-09-13)

Its a bloody disgrace. Windton was just doing his job!!(Bundaberg , 2017-09-13)
#4095
We should be allowed to protect ourselves and our property from intruders especially during the night when you're sleeping our pet dog should be able to defend us that's their job to see no harm come to their owners and families(Theodore , 2017-09-13)
#4097
Winston was doing what was needed to protect his family. When a person unlawfully enters someone elses property, this is what they deserve.The intruder should be held accountable, not the poor family pet.
(Townsville, 2017-09-13)
#4098
This animal was protecting its family. Y was there somone on their property that time of night. Good dog i say(Gold coast , 2017-09-13)
#4099
So so wrong, he was protecting his family(Mildura , 2017-09-13)
#4100
This dog should not be put down for doing what is natural to dogs trying to prevent an intruder into a property. This is a family dog, doing what ALL dogs do when they are threatened. It wasnt on public property, it was on private property. and and intruder came in. what do the council expect. and with NO {PROOF) he was bitten. where's your conscience?(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)
#4104
Do not put down Winston, he's a hero !!!(Brisbane , 2017-09-13)

A animal protecting its home and its owners should be commended not condemned.(Croydon , 2017-09-13)
#4107
This poor dog was just guarding & protecting his family. Why should he be put down when its the person's fault for trespassing on their property in the first place if he wasnt there trying to steal anything he wouldnt have been bitten.#savewinston

#4111
The dog should be punished because he was protecting them from a scumbag(Mackah, 2017-09-13)
#4113
Councils tend to be wanna be lawyers or politicians. This is outright ridiculous. Take it all the way guys. Don't let councils have power. Like Nick Xenephon says, " we need to crack down on the councils".(Gympie, 2017-09-13)
#4115
Sounds like the dog was only doing his job. I'd expect and dog to bite an intruder(Caboolture, 2017-09-13)
#4119
I'm signing because council workers who catch dogs have too much authority without knowledge or training. Who actually deems the dog dangerous. The moron shouldn't have been sneaking into yards at night. He deserved to be bitten. M.R.C have a heart and think of his owners.(Hervey Bay, 2017-09-13)
#4124
I think winston should live because the person who got bitten should not have been there in the first place winston was protecting his home and his family who he loves(Warwick, 2017-09-13)
#4125
I am signing because it is wrong is happening to this poor dog just because it was protecting its home..(Brisbane , 2017-09-13)
#4127
i believe it is absolutely disgusting that you can euthanize an animal for defending its home and property? its ok for a human to attack another human if they have someone trespassing onto their property without permission i.e. B&E! but as soon as an animals defends not only their owner(owners family) and the house they need to be put down? how about the person who went onto the premises and trespassed onto private property! what happens if he was a killer?rapist? that dog had EVERY RIGHT to defend his owner and his property. Do the right thing, fine the guy but do not euthanize this loyal,protective family dog!(perth, 2017-09-13)
#4128

#4138
The dog was protecting the family property. What would the intruder have done if he had obtained entrance into the family home . ? The dog deserves a medal & the intruder should be charge with at least trespass. Release the dog or are council officers in collusion with thieves to gain access to premises in order to rob them?(Grose Vale, 2017-09-13)
#4140
Intruder enters your property, they should be arrested and charged not this beautiful dog. RETURN WINSTON BACK TO HIS FAMILY WHERE HE BELONGS(The Caves Qld 4702, 2017-09-13)
#4141
The dog was is not aggressive, it did what anyone should expect when intruding unasked onto some one else 's property. Being pdotective is not natural aggression.punish the intduder, not the dog.(Buderim , 2017-09-13)

because this is unfair and not right.(Mackay, 2017-09-13)
#4151
Whether skin or fur, our pets are family and they have the same protective nature for us as we do for eachother and them. The 'victim' shouldn't have been on the property so he should be held responsible for his own actions.Every action has a reaction!
(Charters Towers, 2017-09-13)
