Letter | Lack of action on dogs could come back and bite council

Well, I for one don't believe Bathurst Regional Council is doing enough to stem the increase in aggressive dogs in Bathurst.

I know of two extremely aggressive dogs which often attack each other and also threaten to attack anyone walking past in the street or any other animal being taken down the street.

Despite repeated complaints and photos showing these dogs loose in the street, council appear to have not taken the matter seriously.

According to the letter of the law:

A dog may be considered as 'dangerous' if it has, without provocation, attacked or killed a person or animal or repeatedly threatened to attack or chase a person or animal (other than vermin).

A dog may be considered as 'menacing' if it has, without provocation, attacked a person or animal or repeatedly threatened to attack or chase a person or animal (other than vermin) without causing serious injury or death.
