    And today’s fuckwit in the news is the owner of these two dogs.

    https://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=12068396

    They actually are lovely dogs, ours wouldn’t harm a fly, tho tbh we have never had a stranger walk round back where she’s fenced off. 55kgs of pure get the fuck off our property 🙂

    what were peoples thoughts on this? when i read first article i was all 'bastards dogs need to be shot'..

    then followup article (that wasn't a 'headline') pointed out the guy opened a signposted gate and walked into an enclosed area where dogs were on their property then got attacked.

    my stance changed immediately. I mean the first thing anyone says after a burglary etc is 'Get a dog'..
    we've now got a scenario that's changed from my initial thought of 'roaming dogs attack innocent man' to 'retard goes into enclosed yard with 2 fcuking large dogs'.

    Not saying he deserved it - but I no longer think it's the fault of the dogs.

    Err ... did I read (or did Mrs boo tell me) bloke was autistic?

    Still if dogs were on their own property

    @WillieTheWaiter just checked and Virgil's post said as much.

    IF that's the case, which it doesn't appear to be, then he should have a lock on the gate. Dogs are killing machines and will attack to kill at any perceived threat to their territory or pack. My issue with dog owners is they have no regard for this fact and make stupid comments like "my dog wouldn't hurt a fly". Newsflash.. EVERY dog would not only hurt, but kill a fly if it feels threatened.

    Dogs are worse as a pack too, even when it’s a 2 dog pack.
    I’m its own it’s less likely to show aggression, but when there’s another dog or more the aggression seems to compound.
    People forget for all their domesticated history it’s still a wild animal decended from a wolf.

    @Virgil yeah, I love dogs and had a Rottweiler cross German Shepard growing up... she was a big girl. Very gentle with family and friends, really lovely dog overall. But we made sure we trained her properly so she was in no doubt about who was in charge, and kept her on a very short leash including being properly locked behind a big fence to avoid this type of thing. You've got to respect that they are fierce predators, and as you say even more so in a pack.

    Given how stupid the average person appears to be it's no surprise we see entirely preventable dog attacks in the news all the time.

    Not all dogs. Well trained dogs won't attack when strangers come on to property but they will bark as alarm.

    Our dogs will bark when someone strange comes on to the property and as soon as they see it is a human and not an alien they wag their tails like mad in seek of attention.

    A well trained dog is far less likely to attack but I disagree with the "not all dogs" comment. Even the best trained dogs have been known to do things out of character - if they perceive a genuine threat then they will defend their territory/pack the only way they know how, and it's not always easy to tell when they might perceive a threat.

    This is brilliant. What a pair of absolute morons.

    @jegga old mate Susan Devoy isn't happy about this as you can expect and naturally every Snowflake in NZ is up in arms.

    Christ she sounds like a dick.

    As for the two car salesmen what they said was definitely fucken dumb but in terms of out and out racism was pretty low on the spectrum.

    Not that outraged SJWs will have a bar of that.

    The latest from the outrage brigade. And I know these articles are par for the course these days to get clicks, but there's a couple of quotes, one after the other, that show the sheer stupidity of Susan Devoy and really highlights how pointless her role is:

    "Most people in New Zealand are quite nice and friendly but some people in New Zealand don't like Chinese and they say something quite rude to us."

    Race Relations Commissioner Dame Susan Devoy said the incident showed casual racism was, unfortunately, part of everyday life for many New Zealanders.

    So you've got the Chinese woman stating that most NZers are not racist, and Devoy's take on that is racism is a part of everyday life for her.

    The sooner that ridiculous role is disbandonded the better.

    Apart from commenting and being perpetually outraged what does her job actually entail?

    A win for salty of sea dogs across the country. It's ok to be a pervert but don't be caught whipping the head off it while reviewing the photos.

    This should please the saltier ferners.....
