Winston done his job to protect the family.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#4002

He doesn't deserve to be treated like this. Set him free to be with his family

(Gladstone, 2017-09-13)

#4005

This is a dog loved by his family. He protected them as they will do for him.

(Bundaberg, 2017-09-13)

#4006

Its outrageous to kill a loving family dog for protecting his and his families home from an illegal intruder!

(Melbourne, 2017-09-13)

#4008

No proof? How can this decide a dog's fate :(

(Sunshine Coast, 2017-09-13)

#4012

I am signing because that gorgeous gentle family pet bit an intruder who could have hurt someone or worse.
PLEASE SAVE WINSTON

(HEALESVILLE, 2017-09-13)

#4014

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!

Dog was protecting his own grounds his family home

(New southwales, 2017-09-13)

#4025

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)

#4027

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

This good boy was obviously protecting the property. What was this bloke doing in there yard in the middle of the night anyhow.

(Pambula, 2017-09-13)

#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)

#4038

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)

#4047

It's so wrong please free Winston, he was doing his job.

(Bundaberg, 2017-09-13)

#4049

Do something worthwhile and leave this dog alone.

(Kallangur, 2017-09-13)

#4056

Because this dog was doing its job protecting the property.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#4059

No dog deserves to die for protecting its family

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#4060

We all should have the right to protect our families an property! This dog was doing its job!

(Hervey Bay, 2017-09-13)

#4065

The dog should be rewarded NOT put down !
Disgraceful world we live in.

(Cairns, 2017-09-13)

#4067

This dog does not deserve to be put down he was protecting his property

(Victoria, 2017-09-13)

#4068

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)

#4069

The laws on this should be changed already

(Airlie, 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)

#4087

This is disgraceful. A dog behaves in a protective manner in the middle of the night and for that its going to be killed.? Shame on these councils

(Kingston, 2017-09-13)

#4088

this is bullshit. BIG TIME. ******* INTURDER. TRESSPASSER

(mackay, 2017-09-13)

#4090

This is unfair the dog was just doing it job protecting the family! Hope the intruder gets fined for being on their property!

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#4091

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)

#4105

Winston was doing his job and protecting his family and property. What sort of backwards law would kill this good boy?

(Melbourne, 2017-09-13)

#4106

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.

(Bundaberg, 2017-09-13)

#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

This dog was protecting it's owner and property it does not deserve to die.

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#4132

Winston doesn't deserve this!!

(Townsville, 2017-09-13)

#4133

When are you going to learn that these animals are protecting their loved ones. I hope one day it happens to you so you can feel the pain these people have to go through.

(Maryborough, 2017-09-13)

#4134

Dogs have the right to protect their owners

(Charters towers, 2017-09-13)

#4135

He did what a beloved pet should do protect his owners and camp Wrong decision Mr Pound keeper think again

(Richmond, 2017-09-13)

#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)

#4143

By killing this beautiful family dog (of which was protecting his family from an intruder into THIER home is an extremely disgusting act. Have a heart for god sakes

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#4146

I'm signing because I think a dog shouldn't be killed for attacking an intruder

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#4147

He was protecting his property like he should!!!

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

#4148

This is outrageous......Winston deserves praise not death, for protecting his family!

(Crafers, 2017-09-13)

#4150

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)

#4152

Pets defending their homes and family should not be declared dangerous because a potential criminal was stopped by them before they had the chance.

(Sydney, 2017-09-13)

#4153

The dog should not be put down it was defending the yard where it lives for the safety of its owners. The dog was inside the enclosd premises .

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#4154

Innocent till proven guilty.

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#4157

This is so wrong. This poor baby should not be punished for protecting his property

(Forest Lake, 2017-09-13)

#4158

The intruder came into the dogs home and it was only protecting his owners and the kids on property. It's not right killing an animal that was only protecting his family.

(Emerald, 2017-09-13)

#4161

This is a bullshit law! This family pet protected his family from an unwanted intrudor. The intrudor gets off scot free and an innocent animal gets killed. Bullshit!! Free Winston back to his owners!

(Glenella, 2017-09-13)

#4163

The dog was within it's rights & pays with it's life.
The intruder was in the wrong & will get a slap on the wrist. How is that justice?

(Mirani, 2017-09-13)

#4164

He was intruding on another persons property and the dog was protecting his property.

(Bundaberg, 2017-09-13)

#4165

I'm signing because he was protecting his property and family why put him down for him biting someone who was intruding

(Mackay, 2017-09-13)

#4167

Dog was just protecting their property

(Gold coast, 2017-09-13)

#4172

A dog should not be executed for protecting it's family. If this were my dog, i'd be suing the pound for all they're worth for this bloody disgrace.

(Brisbane, 2017-09-13)

The dog was doing his job.

Until our governments commitment to animal rights is established we are doomed as a human race! This is nothing but outrageous, shame on anyone working in that facility that doeant gi on strike and stand up against those in charge and refuse to murder!

(Central Mangrove, 2017-09-13)

#4180

Winston was doing what all loyal dogs do, protecting his family from an intruder.

(Newcastle, 2017-09-13)

#4181

Im signing this petion because this is unfair i have been following this story and how tragic is it that someone walks onto someones property and not know wether they have a dog or not council workers job should invole checking wether the people have pets or not!!!

(Gracemere, 2017-09-13)

#4183

It's ridiculous that a dog should be put down for protecting his owner and home. Council should be ashamed.

(Rockhampton, 2017-09-13)

#4185

This is stupid the dog was protecting his family, the person should not have been there.

(Wesburn, 2017-09-13)

#4189

Person bit was a trespassing. Dog would have been protecting family. Where are the charges against the trespasser.

(boronia heights 4124, 2017-09-13)

#4190

I'm signing as I am so tired of the thieves having more rights than I have we work hard for the little I have

(Bowen, 2017-09-13)

(Cotton Tree, 2017-09-13)

#4200

This loyal dog was only doing what mine would do. Protecting his masters property. Thats what a good dog does and is expected to do.

(Bundaberg, 2017-09-13)
