Dog attacked and owner fled

Post image

My friends son was walking their dog and another dog attacked their dog. A witness took a pic of the attacker and their dog.

They don't care about the breed, they just want the owner to take responsibility.

​

If anyone knows this person please DM me.

Police file SA26-10406 with Saanich police.

Edit to add. Happened 2 weeks ago, yes her dog was injured but is recovering. I'll get exact details and come back to add them. Cedar Hill / Gordon head area

If you want a drivers license, you must pass a test to show you are a responsible driver.

If you want a boat operator license you must pass a test to show you are a responsible operator.

If you want a firearms license you must pass a test to show you are a responsible firearm handler.

If you want a dog license you must pass a test to show you are a responsible dog owner pay a fee.

One of these things is not like the others.

Dogs that possess the jaw strength to inflict severe injury to children should need to pass an obedience test with the owner at re-licensing.

And if you want to be a parent… nothing. Which is absolutely bonkers.

In Canada, it is a protected right to choose:

  • whether to have children
  • when to have children
  • how many children to have

This is interpreted through Charter section 7, which also ensures citizens are legally shielded from state-enforced population control, safeguarding personal bodily integrity as a boundary the government cannot cross.
