Could someone please tell me why this matter has been sitting on the AGs desk for the past 8 years?!?!? What the hell is the delay and who else needs
to be attacked and or killed? Perhaps a politician or two? Is there no enfoorcement possible in the year 2004? I honestly give up!

Very Irate & Amazed

Until we publicly prosecute the negligent owners of these animals I feel that incidents such as the case of the two young boys being attacked yesterday will continue.

I agree Delroy. But when do we start?
Public accountability in this country is laughable...AT LEAST!
No wonder we're always reacting post incident in this country.

One day a tourist will be bitten or, God forbid, killed. That may provoke us to action.

Again, God forbid. One day Rabies (An acute viral disease of the nervous system of warm-blooded animals (usually transmitted by the bite of a rabid animal); rabies is fatal if the virus reaches the brain.) may come to this country. That would provoke the government to action.

We always wait until it is almost to late to do what needs to be done. Our national crest should be a Galloping horse, with the barn doors bolted behind it. (I am referring to the saying, "locking the barn door after the horse has escaped." As opposed to locking it before!)

Such legislation can't come fast enough for me. When I visit home, even now, I won't walk anywhere - too many dogs running loose - I also make sure that anyone going to Nassau knows about the dogs. A long time ago, when Sans Souci was 3 houses on the ridge and bush over to Yamacraw Rd, my brother and I were walking down a path, and out came this pack of dogs, with one of them latching on to my *** --- not much fun. These dogs have been around much too long. It's time to do something before really bad happens.

Delroy you are so right with this one. It's the people not the animal. It's like handling a knife you know you can get cut. As long as dogs have teeth they can bite.

Now the question must be asked did the boys provoke the dogs in anyway???

A few years ago my dog bit the neighbors child. We have chased this boy and his friends from our gate many times. This time the boy put his fingers inside the gate and the dog got him. Just barley broke the skin but he ran home yelling to the top of his lungs. Moments later the mother come down the road yelling bloody murder. She wanted money and the dog put down. She said she was going to call the police. The man across the street came out and told her the boy was tormenting the dogs. She dismissed him because he was a white man. But the man down the street came up and said he say the boy tormenting the dogs with a toy though the fence. Sure enough there was the toy inside our yard. She then said I must take her son to the hospital. I said no problem I will give you a ride. She said not just a ride but money to pay the hospital bill. I said no way you son had no business putting his hand in my fence. She said she was going to call the police. I said you do that. Nothing ever happened no police no nothing.

My dogs are not pitbulls.
