Pamela's beloved poodle died in a savage dog attack. Will the Queensland government get tougher on pet owners? (www.abc.net.au)

In my anecdotal experience, the only dogs we've ever had issues with in public are on this list.... Plus staffies.

Though with staffies making up something crazy like 40% of dog ownership in general (or 98% in Logan) I can't see them going anywhere.

The state government released a discussion paper in June, proposing a number of changes, including:

  • a community education campaign about interacting with animals
  • a state-wide ban on five dog breeds: Dogo Argentino, Fila Brasileiro, Japanese Tosa, Pit Bull Terrier, and Presa Canario
  • a new criminal offence for the most savage attacks, with possible jail time for irresponsible owners
  • on-the-spot fines if a dog is not being "effectively controlled" in public places
