In Brisbane, a dangerous dog who has already killed two family pets is facing euthanasia because its owner failed to keep it properly contained. The residents of Sherwood are deeply concerned, as they have witnessed the staffordshire bull terrier becoming increasingly aggressive and posing a threat to children.
One resident, Jessie Lafferty-Delaney, told 9News about the horrific incident in which the dog attacked and killed her cat right in front of her young son in their own driveway back in April. She recalled the terrifying moment, saying, "The dog just grabbed him by the throat and started tearing him to shreds. We are constantly living in fear now." She also expressed fear for the safety of the children in the neighborhood, wondering if the dog will eventually go after them as well.
Another resident, Amanda Tuppack, shared a similar heartbreaking story about her own cat, Penelope, being killed by the same dog just a few months earlier. She explained how she had to physically restrain the dog and call the council for help, but the owners eventually showed up and took their dog away. Brisbane City Council declared the dog dangerous in May and required the owner to keep it in an approved enclosure and to always have it wearing a muzzle and council-issued collar when outside of the house.
However, residents claim that the owner has not been following these regulations and that the dog has been seen in public without a muzzle. In fact, it has been reported that the owner has been fined five times for letting the dog wander. After receiving numerous complaints and inquiries from 9News, Brisbane City Council has now issued an order for the dog to be euthanised in order to ensure the safety of the community.
Councillor Sarah Hutton spoke to 9News about the situation, stating, "The owner of this dog has not taken the necessary measures to properly secure their dog. Therefore, we have made the decision to euthanise the dog for the safety of the community." The owner still has the opportunity to appeal this decision, but for now, it seems that the dog's dangerous behavior has unfortunately led to this outcome.
