Dangerous Dogs Act - Trinidad and Tobago

It's the owner's fault for not securing his dogs on his property. The dogs were acting normally imo. The owner should be charged (with involuntary manslaughter or something)...

How come we love to bark and call for similar traffic laws like developed nations, yet when we want to enact dog laws like UK and New Zealand ppl receiving chessburn?

I can imagine the outcry if they were to enact and enforce the current speed limit with radar guns.

noone is against these punishments when something like this happens, it is fair prevention that we are fighting for this owner was clearly not fit to own dogs this is what the legislation should be aiming to prevent and it should not be breed specific it should be a dog ownership license for all breeds.

Just last year I was running from two pit bulls in west moorings :lol:

Then again, it was my girlfriend's father that purposely let them go when I was there. :fist:

Regardless of the defect in the legislation it is needed now more than ever....Trinidadians don't know about the concept of responsibility.... All along it was a liberty, you took advantage of this liberty and exploited it at the expense of innocent citizens... now pay the price.... Kill em all!!!

So with ALL of the hype , given this last incident- are these Dangerous animals STILL at their current home? if so WHY were they NOT REMOVED ?
Why is the owner allowed to go about their normal lives? they should be put into a jail cell and as athe perfect example FORCED into PAYING ALL medical expenses that this victim has to incurr, if th eowner cannot pay, then Auction off every last thing she HAS in order to do so............

People must learn responsibility.................

silent_riot · Postby **silent_riot** » May 17th, 2012, 8:15 am

Agreed on the responsibility...If you cannot keep your dog in your property, you don't deserve to have one. Leave a muzzle on your dog, train your dog, fence your yard and keep the dog on a leash which doesn't exceed the yard boundaries.

I don't agree that dogs are at fault in attacks and should be put to sleep, the dogs' owners are responsible. Putting the dogs to sleep condones the fact that only the dogs are at fault, and the owner has no responsibility, which is wrong.

joel · Postby **joel** » May 17th, 2012, 11:03 am

It simple inno and all the ppl saying "enact the law nah, eet go help" do not realize that it will not. No body is against any facking law. The law is worded poorly. Why admit a law is flawed, implement it and THEN look to fix it after? What jackass ness is that?
It remains though, if you cannot properly house your dog, whatever type of dog it is, do not have any.

Ps, if anybody see dem dogs that was in that yard and could say that they are pitbulls then alyuh real good.

Of course not, who would do that certainly not all the responsible dog owners being affected by the upcoming bill

jm3 · Postby **jm3** » May 27th, 2012, 7:22 pm

i saw an abandoned pit walking between santa cruz and maraval,
i wanted so badly to put him in the car and bring him home until i could find a home for him. Unfortunately i don't know how well it would go with my dogs and i just can't realistically take the risk of my dogs getting injured and i feel really hurt that i was unable to help. is there anyone able to house these dogs or something. this bill is really going to make things worse.

The bill coming at night, kidnapping the dogs and letting them loose onto the streets?

Hadda agree with nemisis, these same callous owners that would abandon their dog instead of paying $500 a year and insurance fees are the same idiots that the bill is targeting.

The Dangerous Dogs Act should return to Parliament in early October, according to Law Reform Commission chairman Samraj Harripaul. His statements come after a stray pit bull was chopped to death in Couva over the weekend. In May, a review of the act, which was initially expected to take effect last month, was ordered by Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar after public uproar from animal rights activists and dog owners.
