watched animal hospital on tv this morning, it was set in Australia and dogs there, who have attacked humans or animals are made to wear a special collar, that is RED and ORANGE and highly visible, just thought it would be a good idea for our postmen and women over here!!!

If a dog has attacked a human I think it should be put down in my opinion. Might be a bit biased because I have been bitten by them and I find them very annoying.

hmm maybe a bit drastic, id say at least make it mandatory to wear a muzzle when in public after any biting incident.

I agree any dogs that's bit should be put down, if I got bit or nipped I would insist it's put down, which I also tell my customers who say "He's alright, he don't bite, might lick you to death" you dog keep it under control, I do not need to make friends with it.

I totally agree that any of us posties who lose it in this heat and attack humans or animals should be made to wear a special collar.

In fact, I've got a 16" neck, should anyone like to get mine ready.
Sooner or later, a beat dog bites.

I think if I’m bitten again I’ll be putting the dog down if it’s bad. What if it was a child who got bit? What if you get bit and then you hear it’s killed a child?
