Things seem to be VERY QUIET on aus.pets!

Is everyone on holidays?

To get the ball rolling for 1996:  there've been reports of what
appears to be 3 bad dog attacks in 3 States over Christmas-New Year.

Just what happened is hard to determine since the media showed its
usual irresponsible attitude with a "shock horror" reporting style.
(No dog attack is anything but bad news, but the media operates on a
guilty until proven innocent approach with these stories!!)

Are the relevant governments in the States and local government areas
involved behaving rationally, or can we expect the usual knee-jerk
reactiions?

Regards


Shane
