Dog day violence demons drive the deed

Ethan Switch - Friday, May 6, 2005 - 19:51:09 - print it raw

Capping off another week of no return, disgraced stockbroker and seating space allocation of 2.4 on regular molded chairs, Rene Rivkin, finally snuggled up to the warm embrace of dirt found six feet underground. Laying down their father, a noted black dog hounded by depression, the children all paid their last respects to the man they knew as the main signatory.

Losing a battle against depression remains the main reason Rivkin choose to put out his own cigar. Wonderful for the Black Dog Institute, likely recipients of farewell bursaries and donations from fans of Rivkin. With coffers expected to fill and awareness to grow on, it could very well be a time of slight happiness for the organisation taking to task with a canine on the bow.

Between the bookends of just one man, the New South Wales government announced legislation to outlaw and ban certain breeds of dogs. Those who would be found hanging off the shoulders and faces of small children and the defenseless.

Under howls of scowling faces, ardent breeders of the targeted genera are yet to take up this reboosted increase in the canine flavour. Their heckles from the sidelines outnumbering their ranks, baying for the blood to spill in order to render the government's plan and execution moot and utterly abhorrent.

Decrying such narrow-minded laws and legislature as impossible to control and futile against dog attacks of future sort, the Endangered Dog Breeds Association of Australia should continue to wager their war against the government.

Dipping small children in gravy and throwing them into arenas filled with viciously hungry pit bulls may yet be held in events staged at the back of a local RSL to prove their point.

On that note...
