Dangerous dog law to stay

=20 By=20 Matthew Taylor and Rene = Hill

Government is consulting over its dangerous dogs ban but=20 Environment Minister Neletha Butterfield vowed the law will = stay.
She said similar laws were in place in 18 countries = including the=20 UK, Germany, The Caymans and Trinidad and Tobago and Bermuda's = dangerous=20 dog act had been enacted to stop a tragedy.
Speaking during the = debate=20 on her ministry, she told the House of Assembly: "This is an = extremely=20 emotive issue. It is an issue jurisdictions worldwide have been = struggling=20 with for years. Passions run on both sides."
Recent local press = coverage of the matter had been excessive, said the Minister and = the=20 puppies recently featured were illegal because they had been bred=20 illegally, adding: "This has nothing to do with the policy = decisions last=20 year."
She said the cry of "punish the deed, not the breed" was = nothing=20 more than a catchy sound-bite. "Try telling that to the mother of = a maimed=20 child =96 'Don't worry dear, we are going to punish the = deed'."
She said=20 the restrictions were brought into effect at the right time for = the right=20 reasons. "The Department was concerned at the increasing number of = large=20 breed dogs being imported into Bermuda and the potential for = crossbreeding=20 these animals with others of a naturally aggressive = nature.
"Numerous=20 complaints were being received both by the Department and the = Minister of=20 the day."
Her predecessor Dennis Lister had been right to take = action=20 before a tragic incident occurred said Ms Butterfield.
"I thank = him for=20 taking the responsible steps to prevent the deed =96 not wait = until someone=20 got hurt and then punish the deed."
Government had always = intended to=20 review and refine the policy in light of new information and in=20 consultation with the stakeholders said the Minister.
Written=20 submissions have been gathered and the department is setting up = meetings=20 with breeders, dog clubs, vets and others. The first meeting took = place on=20 March 5 and was attended by seven representatives from five = different=20 organisations.
Good ideas had been put forward but she said = those who=20 wanted to soften the law by bringing in more laws, tests and = regulations=20 were barking up the wrong tree.
Those who flouted the law would = do so=20 continue to do so said the Minister and new initiatives would = require a=20 massive budget to police.
"Enforcement and policing alone are = not the=20 answer =96 although Government has responded in this regard too, = with the=20 employment of two additional wardens in 2001 and one more planned = for=20 April 2004 to deal not just with dogs but with all animal and = feral animal=20 problems."
She said dog lovers who said it was the owner and = not the=20 dog who is the problem were partly right.
"However there is a = tonne of=20 reliable evidence to support the claim that certain breeds have an = innate=20 aggression that makes them potentially dangerous, however = responsible the=20 owner might be. 18 other countries think so."
"Frankly I find = 'punish=20 the deed, not the breed' is about as hollow as the (US) National = Rifle=20 Association's claim 'that it's not guns that kill, it's people' = every time=20 there is a multiple shooting in a Midwest high school.
"In my = view, the=20 equation is relatively simple. Fewer guns equals fewer deaths by = shooting.=20 Similarly, fewer potentially dangerous dogs in our community = lessons the=20 chance of an unfortunate accident."
She said the restriction on = certain=20 breeds wasn't perfect but had been the right thing to do at the = right time=20 and would now be refined.
"We make no apologies for putting = public=20 safety first, foremost and ahead of the interest of dog=20 owners.
"According to one web site there are 610 breeds of dog. = We have=20 imposed restrictions on 23 =96 that leaves 587 breeds from which = to choose=20 your household pet."
Shadow Environment Minister Cole Simons = spoke about the need for Government to make use of Morgan's = Point and=20 to also check the fish for environmental contamination.
Mr. = Simons also=20 called on the Government to follow recommendations put forward in = as far=20 as looking at sea walls to stave off further erosion of the=20 coastline.
Mr. Simons also recommended that Ms Butterfield = speak with=20 the stakeholders or dog fraternities in the banning of dangerous=20 dogs.
"Bermuda has had mongrel breeds, which are just as = vicious as=20 some of the so-called dangerous breeds," said Mr. Simons.
"It = is the=20 owners of the breeds, not the breed of dog. At the end of the day = =96 the=20 laws are for the people."
Dennis Lister pointed out that = the=20 Ministry of Environment had been looking into coastal erosion and = had=20 hired the team of specialists before the event of Hurricane = Fabian.
