? Very torn about this. Not saying the law shouldnt be changed, but it wouldnt make a difference, really, as it would still be nearly impossible to enforce, and the dog wouldnt have been in a position to get shot if the people responsible for his care had taken steps to prevent him getting away. How about a bit of focus on the fact that it doesnt sound like their dog was properly contained? At the best of times, an invisible fence/shock collar are a false sense of security to the owner. Take that collar off, and it is even less. It is an owners opinion that their dog would never do this, this, or this, which is a worthless, bias opinion. If their dog had been properly supervised and/or properly contained, this incident never would have occured and they would still have their dog. At some point, people need to step up and take some responsibility for their own actions. This is a tragic incident, but THESE PEOPLE FAILED THEIR DOG. Period. And now theyre in the media acting like the changing of a law would have somehow made that different or okay. If their dog had been properly supervised/contained, he wouldnt have been anywhere to get shot in the first place. They are passing the buck BIG TIME here. An invisible fence is NOT a fence, point one. Point two, if you believe in it as a fence, you believe that the magic is held within the collar. Three, if you remove that collar, all bets are off. These people knowingly and willingly endangered their pet. I feel awful for the dog. But a change in the law will not change the habits of the irresponsible. Edited to add - Reread the article. Only out of sight for 5-10 minutes? Only? Really? The more I read, the less sympathy I have for the humans involved. Fuming.
