There where ten times as many attacks on humans by other humans, as dog attacks last year!
I raise this issue because, a dog bites a person and the media goes into overdrive, politicians react immediately and the nation goes into panic mode.
Meantime, humans assault, rape and murder other humans and it raises hardly a ripple!
For instance, there were 11708 dog attacks, on humans, last year which is appalling. But it does not compare to the hurt from 43,556 assaults, 13,748
personal offences, 3,748 sexual assaults and 59,361 burglaries which add up to 120413 human attacks human, attacks.
I note that Local Govt Minister, Nick Smith has promised to review the dog laws yet again, after three children were seriously attacked recently, by dogs!
In the same period of time, there have been hundreds of attacks on innocent people, by some mongrels on two legs, posing as human beings.
I do not hear Simon Bridges or any other politicians calling for tough measures to protect us from these scum. Why not?
You can do something ! The pen is a powerful weapon ! Pick it up and write to the Prime Minister, Parliament , Wellington. Demand that he protects you and
your family and our community. Tell him you will pay the extra tax to do the job!

Dog v Human Attacks
Posted on 06-02-2012 18:16 | By rayge11
I have really no issue with Ken Evans' views on sensible sentencing but to use the pathetic analysis of dog attacks versus human attacks in media reports does not, in my view, constitute a reasonable conclusion as to the feelings of the citizens of New Zealand on this personal assult matter. If the media actually believe they are reflecting the views of their readers when they make such reports then they are totally mistaken, and so is Ken. The only reason dog attacks are regularly reported by the media is that there are fewer of them, and you can't get into any trouble naming a dog, but you can be in big 'do do' if you get personal with people! We have a PC problem in New Zealand, like many other countries, but fortunately for the media, it doesn't yet extend to dog attacks. I mean, Ken, dog attack media reports do not reflect the sensibilities of the New Zealand public. I can safely guarantee that. Leave the Media alone, they no not what they do, anymore. Ray Fowke.
Prosecute irresponsible dog owners

Well said Ken - all apart from the last line! Whatever you do DONT Tell him you will pay the extra tax to do the job! Tell them to just uphold the law as it stands and prosecute irresponsible dog owners - do it properly so as to discourage irresponsible dog owners from having dangerous dogs and not being responsible for their actions.
