Dangerous Dogs Act dogs attacked a cat ? did they - discussion posts moved here

Well, if you are unwilling to even consider that advice, it will get very expensive for you in the civil courts.

 

My advice will be to note the previous posters and try to settle and avoid the legal process if you were responsible for the loss and harm.

 

Courts deal with facts, not emotion or goodwill and have a tendency to bite you on the ass, no matter how well intended

Dogs off the lead attacking another animal even with it being instinctual or not would be considered dangerous / out of control and in most cases if they can't be recalled / restrained and they cause injury they will be found at fault even if the animal they are attacking causes injury in defence.

 

We have had two different instances of off lead dogs attacking ours, the first time he was bitten and we had to go through the courts to recoup costs of vet bills etc and the second time I was actually bit first and that is when the police got involved as that is when it is considered assault when a human is involved (not that this part applies here.)

A court could also decide that your dog is dangerously out of control if either of the following apply:

• it attacks someone’s animal
• the owner of an animal thinks they could be injured if they tried to stop your dog attacking their animal

However animals are considered property so as the police have said it is a civil matter and not criminal.

 

The fact that you said they chased the cat and you didn't see the incident they can't have been under reasonable control by the owner as they would have been out of sight at the time of the attack.

Lol please ignore paper lawyer "whitelist" I thought I had managed to chase them off the airline forum because of all the horsedung they were posting there but now realize they have found a new life as a dog expert.

 

P.S. I am a cat person and will never forgive your dog for killing a cat, but let's all stay reasonable here!

 

Edit: what "pixel" said seems a lot more sensible tho

@Kyosanto thanks but my dog didnt kill the cat..it ran off after the incident...as the cat had a previous illness/condition the vet recommended it be put down. a lot of assumptions on this forum instead of the help i need.

things are not that clear cut

@PIXeL_92 things aren't that clear cut...you weren't there but have an opinion of it and tell it to me like your a judge! - my dogs were going through bushes on a public footpath from the woods

- i dont have x-ray eyes to see through the bushes etc i cant run as fast as a dog to stop them question: how many people do you know that can run faster than a dog...use some common sense dogs run around all the time and if their in bushes running and i dont see a cat then im unaware there's a cat...then when i see the cat they were recalled...

....i didnt see the cat cause im not as low down as the dogs in the cover of leaves....but i suppose that's my fault now lol..

.wish i had your wisdom and the foresight of events that may happen...i would then be as perfect as you. judging me on a situation your not fully aware of..im getting fed up with people like you.

and i suppose cats that kill mouse and toy with them whilst dying aren't dangerous  - its all acceptable - even when my dogs didn't kill it..the vet did

and this is wrong what your saying - courts do deal with emotion : The Victim Personal Statement gives victims an opportunity to explain how the crime has affected them, physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially or in any other way.

That is criminal law under the Crown Prosecution service, not civil. And you are an alleged perpetrator, not a victim. The Cat owner is the alleged victim through your own alleged negligence.

[danyboy72]

well thats your fault for not explaining it properly then in the first place.

you just said "Courts deal with facts, not emotion" - made yourself look an idiot there.

and what about the 'policeman' physically not letting me get my phone out and abusing me and being aggresive (which is on the 999call) am i not a victim? is he justified for his actions and in the clear? i dont think you've read anything properly.
and before you start with you should have reported him crap - he wasnt in a uniform, i dont know who he is or where he lives and wouldnt know about how in court i go about sorting this...so that may well be something in the future if it goes to court...i have no idea about it,

but i know one thing - i dont want any advice from you.
