Ideea este ca la ora actuala deja numarul lor a depasit orice limita. Pe statul roman il doare la basca si de fetita ucisa, si de japonez, si de baieteii din Galati si de toti. Intre timp au mai dat si o lege super idioata prin care daca te prinde careva ca ai intreprins ceva "pe cont propriu" esti pasibil de inchisoare de la 6 luni la 3 ani. In viziunea lor, noi acum ar trebui sa stam cu mainile in san si sa suportam toate haitele de animale salbatice de pe strazi si sa ne aparam cum putem pe noi si pe copiii nostri.
Ieri primarul Mazare spunea la tv ca hingherii nu vin daca nu ii cheama nimeni. Atunci de ce mai lucreaza la ecarisaj? de ce mai sunt platiti?
In conditiile date exista doua variante: sa ii bombardam pe cei de la ecarisaj cu telefoane sa-i chemam sa-si faca treaba (si atunci intervin "iubitorii de caini" din cartier si se bat cu hingherii, ii baga in casa/scara blocului pe caini ca sa nu poata fi prinsi); a doua varianta este sa ne facem singuri dreptate pe tacute.
Animalele domestice sunt cele care traiesc in casa, curtea omului, au un minim de dresaj si sunt ingrijite de catre acesta. Ce umbla pe strazi, in haite, aiurea si se hranesc cu bucati de om sau ce gasesc prin gunoaie, sunt animale salbatice. Din punctul meu de vedere. Abia dupe ce li se reduce numarul substantial, putem vorbi de adaposturi, adoptii si alte alea. Momentan sunt prea multi.

Lasati, cainii liberi! Lasati haitele sa zburde prin orase! Ce aveti cu bietele animale salbaticite?
Copiii, muscatii, sunt doar victime colaterale.
Iubesc la nebunie porcii. Nimic nu mi se pare mai frumos decat o codita rasucita de purcel.
Sau mielutii! Ce frumosi sunt ei. Si pot deveni chiar prietenosi.
Ce sa va mai povestesc de gainuse, puisori si curcani. Cum mananca ei de la tine din mana.
Ce bine ca nu traiesc in Asia. Asa as fi fost nevoita sa mananc niscaiva costite de catel.
Oare sunt iubitoare de animale?

daca dupa 15 pagini "tot degeaba", te invitam cu bratele deschise sa ne dai o directie de urmat.
sa ies in strada da dau cu sutul in primul ciine care imi iese in cale, sau sa imprastii otrava? nu, merci
sa semnez petitii ca sint de acord cu reformularea legii? asta da.
dar tu, exact, ce vrei sa facem sau ce astepti sa se intimple aici?
pentru mine astea 15 pagini nu au fost degeaba. am vazut ca babele nebune care ascund ciinii in scara blocului si le arunca mincare de la geam si se bat cu hingherii nu sint cu nimic mai prejos dpdv al fanatismului decit cei care se bat cu pumnul in piept si ne cheama sa iesim cu furci in strada sa nimicim ciinii "pe cont propriu".
by the way, legea asta impotriva "contului propriu" a pornit de la actele de cruzime nejustificate la care sint supuse animalele: de la cai batuti in centrul orasului pina la moarte de catre STAPINII lor....de la niste bieti copii inocenti care au ucis un pui de mitza jucind fotbal cu el...de la alti copii inocenti care au infipt unui ciine un bat in fund si altele in nas ....
nu, nu "tin cu ciinii impotriva copiilor". dar cred ca un pic de echilibru nu strica niciodata, mai ales dpdv psihic...
dati aici cu parul in cei care incearca sa faca ceva pentru animalele astea si pentru oamenii care vor sa scape de ele. facem atita cit putem, ca avem si joburi, avem si un venit limitat, avem si familii. nu-i putem lua pe toti in casa; luam si plasam citi putem. nu putem iesi cu mitraliera pe strada, dar sterilizam ce ne cade in miini.
ce vreti MAI MULT de la NOI? ca de la statul roman...vrem si noi multe.
ma sperie atita inversunare, pe atitea pagini, atita fanatism. este foarte trist ce se intimpla in tara asta, dar este LA FEL de trist si faptul ca pt violul unui minor, eventual al propriului copil, se fac doar 3-5 ani de puscarie. este la fel de trist ca exista aurolaci. este la fel de trist ca exista batrini care mor inghetati pe strazi iarna pentru ca nu au unde sa se refugieze macar noaptea. si nu vad la fel de multa indignare fata de aceste cazuri. un articol aparut in 3 ziare, despre un fapt care nu se petrece in fiecare zi, este mult mai provocator decit realitatea zilnica...probabil ca asa se explica si succesul stirilor de la ora 5...

"Dog attack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dog attacks are attacks on humans by feral or domestic dogs.
Dog attacks often occur because of the close proximity of dogs to people, and such attacks have become the focus of increasing media and public attention in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It is estimated that two percent of the US population, 4.7 million people, are bitten each year. In the 1980s and 1990s the US averaged 17 fatalities per year, while in the 2000s this has increased to 26. There is much debate over whether the attacks can be blamed on the prevalence of certain breeds of dogs or whether they are due primarily to the actions or inactions of the dogs' owners.
Dogs are by default (after the clearing of larger or more dangerous predators) the most powerful predators other than humans in many parts of the world. They remain cunning, swift, agile, strong, territorial, and voracious despite domestication; even small ones have large, sharp teeth and claws and powerful muscles in their jaws and legs, and can inflict serious injuries. The lacerations even from inadvertent dog scratches, let alone deliberate or reckless bites, are easily infected. Large dogs can knock people down. To be sure, dogs are far more reliable than other predators of like size (for example, leopards and cougars smaller than some breeds of dogs) and most larger herbivores. Dogs and humans are usually clever enough to recognize the folly of potential threats to each other and avoid danger, recognizing humans as themselves similarly predatory, or have mutual affection that precludes attack.
Should affection or mutual respect not exist (as with feral dogs), should a dog be conditioned to become an attacker, or should someone intrude upon a dog's territory and pose a threat, then the natural tendencies of a predator manifest themselves in a dog attack in which the dog, like all other formidable predators, uses its predatory abilities to defend itself. Extrication from such an attack is difficult because of the dog's power and agility; it is then in charge of the situation.
Note: A feral organism is one that has escaped from domestication and returned, partly or wholly, to its wild state. Rarely will a local environment perfectly integrate the feral organism into its established ecology. Therefore, feral animals and plants can cause disruption or extinction to some indigenous species, affecting wilderness and other fragile ecosystems.
Human-dog interaction
Education for adults and children, animal training, selective breeding for temperament, and society's intolerance for dangerous animals combine to reduce the incidence of attacks and accidents involving humans and dogs. However, improperly managed confrontations can lead to severe injury from even the most well-tempered dog, much like most humans can be incited to violence given sufficient provocation.
There are many signs that a dog is about to attack, such as growling or snarling. Stiffened front legs and a raised ridge of hair along the spine are signs of an imminent attack. A wagging tail indicates an attempt to communicate excitement, but a territorial dog may hold its tail high and wag its tail as a signal of dominance. A highly disturbed dog may sometimes emit confusing or misleading signals, yelping or jumping. Some dogs are bred to not show any signs of aggression before they attack.
Human behavior as a factor
Many human behaviors (especially by people unfamiliar with dogs) may factor into bite situations. The majority of dogs won't respond to all or even any of these behaviors with aggression, however, some will. These behaviors include:
1. Attempting to take food or water away from a dog, or moving towards a dog's food or water or between a dog and its food or water, even inadvertently. While possessiveness is a form of aggression and should be seen as a behavioral problem, this is an issue commonly overlooked by the owner, especially when it comes to small dogs.
2. Attacking a dog or its companions (which could be other dogs, humans, or even cats), or acting in a manner that the dog perceives as an attack (for example, a sudden enthusiastic hug or inadvertently stepping on any portion of the dog's anatomy, such as a paw or tail).
3. Startling a resting or sleeping dog.
4. Approaching or touching a sick or injured dog. Note that older dogs, like people, often become "cranky" and develop a tendency to become "snappish".
Related to the previous point, failure to recognize a dog showing signs of insecurity or fear and continuing whatever behavior is causing the dog's anxiety to increase, until "fear biting" occurs. Again, an older or chronically infirm dog is liable to develop feelings of vulnerability and anxiety, and therefore become less tolerant and more aggressive.
5. Approaching dogs already fighting.
6. Behaving in a threatening or menacing manner around a puppy in the presence of an adult dog, especially its mother.
6. Staring at a dog directly in the eyes. In dog communication, this is an act of dominance or aggression. This is more dangerous when on the same visual level as the dog (such as small children), or when the human is unfamiliar to the dog.
7. Running away from a dog: the atavistic chase-and-catch instinct is not fully lost, and most dogs can outrun and overtake the average human.
8. Similarly, the natural instinct to jerk one's hands upwards away from an inquisitive dog often elicits in the dog a strong impulse to grab and hold, or at least to investigate, resulting in the dog jumping on the person and thrusting its head towards the raised hands.
9. Ignoring "Beware of Dog" signs: trained attack dogs, unlike most dogs, may attack an intruder without warning.
10. Entering a dog's "territory" and behaving in an unfamiliar pattern or being unfamiliar to the dog. The dog's territorialism, powerful senses, and latent ferocity makes almost any dog, irrespective of size, a powerful deterrent to burglars. The territory that a dog recognizes as its own may not coincide with the property lines that its owner and the legal authorities recognize, such as a portion of a neighbor's backyard.
Dog behavior as a factor
Many adoption agencies test for aggressive behavior in dogs, and kill any animal that shows certain types of aggression. This is not to imply that animals exhibiting signs of aggression cannot be worked with to correct these tendencies. A dog may exhibit multiple types of aggression.
1. Dominance Aggression is most commonly directed at family members (humans, other dogs, even cats) and can be a response to different types of touches, body language, eye contact, positioning (such as trying to move them off the couch or bed) - basically any type of behavior the animal sees as a challenge to their dominant social status.
2. Fear Aggression can come in a number of varieties but can most easily be paralleled to human problems as phobias. Specific gestures such as raising an arm or standing up, speed of movement, noises, or objects may elicit a reaction. Many rescued dogs have been abused and specific fears of men, women, even race are not uncommon.
3. Protection/Territorial Aggression is most commonly associated with the dog's tendency to want to defend its home and family (humans, other dogs, even cats).
4. Possession Aggression is most commonly directed at perceived threats to food, water, and toys. In adoption agency tests this is usually the most important type of aggression to test for since it is most associated with bites, especially bites to children. While it could be argued that this is a subset of either Dominance behavior or Protection/Territorial behavior, its importance must not be overlooked.
5. Predatory Aggression is built on the dog's built in hunter instinct. Sighthounds, for example, will chase and attack small fast moving animals. By itself, predatory aggression is rarely the cause of an attack on a human, although with very large dogs and very small children this is sometimes the case. In attacks against humans, when predatory aggression is involved it is often a contributing factor that escalates the situation, such as the pack kill instinct when multiple dogs are involved in an attack.
6. Pain Induced Aggression is a reaction to pain or discomfort brought on by a medical condition (i.e. injury or illness).
7. Punishment Induced Aggression is most often directed at a family member who goes severely overboard in a misdirected attempt to correct a behavior. While often read by the human eliciting the behavior as Dominance Aggression it is, in reality, more akin to a Self Defense instinct.
8. Redirected Aggression is when a dog, already excited/aroused by an aggressive instinct from another source uses an available target to release their aggression.
Child safety
77% of dog bites are from a family or friend's pet, and 50% of attacks occur on the owner's property.[4] While it is important for parents to understand and teach their children about how to behave around any animal, they should also understand that dogs think and react like dogs and can sometimes bite.
Training and aggression
In a domestic situation, canine aggression is normally suppressed. Exceptions are if the dog is trained to attack, feels threatened, or is provoked. It is important to remember that dogs are predators by nature and instinct is something that never completely disappears, and that predatory behavior against other animals (such as chasing other animals) may train a dog or a pack of dogs to attack humans. It is possible to acclimatize a dog to common human situations in order to avoid adverse reactions by a pet. Dog experts advocate removal of a dog's food, startling a dog, and performing sudden movements in a controlled setting to teach the dog who their leader is, to defuse their aggressive impulses in common situations. This also allows better animal care since owners may now remove an article directly from a dog's mouth, or transport a wounded pet to seek medical attention.
Small children are especially prone to misunderstanding dogs, in part this is because their size and movements can be similar to prey. Also, young children may unintentionally provoke a dog (pulling on ears or tails is common, as is surprising a sleeping dog) because of their inexperience.
Because of a dog's pack instincts, more dominant dogs may view children or even complacent adults as rivals rather than as superiors, and attempt to establish dominance by physical means. Any attempt at dominant behavior, no matter how tentative, should be firmly discouraged as soon as possible, to affirm to the dog that all humans are pack superiors. To avoid potential conflicts, even reliably well-behaved children and dogs should not be allowed to interact in the absence of adult supervision.
Dogs with strong chase instincts, especially shepherds, may fail to recognize a person as an being not to be herded. They may fixate on specific aspect of the person, such as a fast-moving, brightly colored shoe, as a prey object. This is probably the cause for the majority of non-aggressive dogs chasing cyclists and runners. In these cases, if the individual stops, the dog often loses interest since the movement has stopped. This is not always the case, and aggressive or territorial dogs might take the opportunity to attack.
Additionally, most dogs who bark aggressively at strangers, particularly when not on "their" territory, will flee if the stranger challenges it. Conversely, there is always the danger of the occasional dog who will stand its ground and escalate the situation. Mailmen, being the classic example, provoke a strong territorial response because they come back day after day to the dog's territory. In the dog's mind they are constantly challenging them for territory and that sets up a learned behavior.
Breed-specific attacks
When dogs are near humans they are familiar with they normally become less aggressive. This is because familiarity with their 'pack members' lowers the likelihood of attack. However, it should not be assumed that because a dog has been with humans it will not attack anybody - even a family member. Caution needs to be taken when approaching new dogs for the first time.
There are studies that claim certain breeds are more likely to attack than others. In a study on dog bites, American and Canadian dog bite-related fatalities from September 1982 to November 2006 by Merritt Clifton titled Dog attack deaths and maimings, U.S. & Canada, cited that Pit Bulls were responsible for 65% of fatal dog attacks. Intact males also bite more frequently than neutered males or females.
Due to the Pit Bull's breed specific aggresion owning such an animal is not allowed in many Europian and Australasian countries and in several US and Canadian localities. [6] There are exemptions to this rule if the owner can prove a specific reason to owning a Pit Bull, usually for property protection. The owners are usually fined and in some places there is a 2 month jail time, while the animals are put to sleep in most cases.
Dog attacks on humans that appear most often in the news are those that require the hospitalization of the victim or those in which the victim is killed. Dogs of all sizes have mauled and killed humans, although large dogs are capable of inflicting more damage quickly.
Proponents argue that Pit Bulls and certain other dog breeds are inherently aggressive towards humans and shouldn't be allowed at all, or they argue that since the breed is so popular they are often owned by irresponsible owners who provide insufficient training or, worse, aggressiveness training, that controlling the breed is the best way to control the irresponsible owners and prevent dog attacks on innocent victims.
Opponents argue that no breed is inherently aggressive towards humans and that regulating one breed simply moves the irresponsible owners to start focusing on breeds that haven't yet been regulated, moving the problem to other breeds. This is one of the positions taken by the CDC and AMVA.
It is difficult to establish the inherent human aggressiveness of a breed in general. To establish meaningful results, research would have to consider such factors as the following:
Are the statistics available reliable for identifying specific breeds? In cases of bites from unfamiliar animals such as strays, the breed description can be inaccurate.
What proportion of a breed's owners are knowledgeable about dog training? When a breed's popularity increases, it might be more likely to be the first choice among owners with no previous experience with dogs because it's the breed with which they're familiar. Novice owners might not know how to properly socialize a dog.
What proportion of owners deliberately encourage aggression in their dogs, or keep their dogs in a manner which fosters aggressive traits? This would be a difficult number to discover, because it seems likely that not many owners would readily admit to it. Also even though it may not be intended to train a dog to be aggressive, it is well documented that many dog owners do inadvertently allow a dog to think of itself as dominant.
What proportion of dogs involved in acts of human aggression came from a known mother or father who exhibited human aggression? This can happen in any breed, and responsible breeders would generally not breed such a dog. However, as a breed's popularity increases, people who know nothing about breeding or genetics (or who don't care), might breed dogs who otherwise shouldn't be bred.
What proportion of that breed in the community exhibits human aggression? Most statistics published show only the number of dogs of various breeds involved in attacks, not the percentage of dogs of that breed in the area who were involved in attacks. Any popular breed is more likely to show up with more attacks because there are simply more dogs, just as a less popular breed will show up as having a higher percentage of attacks because there are simply fewer dogs. The most popular dog breed in America (in 2007) is the Labrador Retriever . The Labrador has very low dog bite occurrences.
One approach which acknowledges that it is difficult to determine the dangerousness of a specific breed takes the strategy of regulating all dogs over a certain size or weight, which would greatly reduce the chance of a dog being large enough to inflict serious harm. This, of course, would remove from circulation most of the hundreds of breeds available in the world today, most of whom would never deliberately harm a human.
Although research and analysis suggests that breed-specific legislation is not completely effective in preventing dog attacks, with each new attack, pressure mounts to enact such legislation, despite indications that dangerous dog legislation would be more effective—that is, focusing on specific individual dogs having exhibited signs of human aggression.
Legal issues (United States)
Although using a firearm against an attacking dog may seem acceptable, laws in the United States which prohibit discharging a firearm in a city, and reckless endangerment may limit the extent to which a person is legally able to defend themselves in this way. Taking such actions where the dog/dogs involved were not acting aggressively towards humans may result in legal charges against the person who shot the animal. Laws vary from state to state and from city municipalities to counties.
Some state laws hold dog owners liable for the harm or damage that their animal causes to people or other dogs. For example, in recent years, Florida dog bite laws have been changed so that prior vicious tendencies may no longer be needed to prove owner liability. In Texas, as of September 1, 2007, `Lillian's Law' has taken effect, whereby the owner of a dog that causes death or serious bodily injury may be charged with a second or third degree felony when the attack takes place outside the dog's normal place of confinement (Texas Health & Safety Code Chapter 882)."

How to Prevent Dog Bites
Each year in the U.S. alone, an estimated 5 million people--nearly 2% of the population--are bitten by dogs. About 800,000 of these people require medical attention as the result of the bite or attack, and about 15-20 die from their injuries. These numbers, however, while alarming, are not particularly shocking, given that there are an estimated 65 million dogs in the U.S. What may be more surprising is that most dog bites are preventable if owners train and care for their dogs properly and if potential bite victims--that is to say, nearly all of us--know how to behave around dogs.
Steps
Keep your distance from dogs you don't know. Some dogs are so cute it's almost impossible to resist petting them. Think twice before you try to make friends with an unfamiliar dog, because some dogs simply aren't very friendly, and many otherwise pleasant dogs may be skittish around strangers.
Never try to pet an unfamiliar dog that's behind a fence, tied up, or in a car. Dogs can be very protective of their territory, and if you enter their space you're just asking to be bitten.
Avoid loose dogs. If you're walking and you see an unfenced, untied dog up ahead, try to avoid it. Cross the street or go around the block. Stay out of reach of dogs on leashes, as well.
Ask the dog owner's permission before you pet a dog. If a dog doesn't handle strangers well, the owner usually knows.
Allow dogs to investigate you before you touch them. Dogs are naturally curious and may want to sniff you or approach you slowly. This is usually not threatening behavior, but if you don't allow a dog to investigate you before you try to touch him, he's liable to bite in self-defense. By the same token, never surprise a dog and touch him when he's not expecting it.
Be gentle. Don't play rough with a dog, or the dog may play rough back, which may result in you getting bitten. An excited dog is an unpredictable dog.
Let sleeping dogs lie. Don't rouse a dog that's sleeping, especially if it's not your dog. In addition, avoid disturbing dogs while they're feeding, chewing on a bone or chew toy, or caring for their puppies.
Stay away from mad dogs. Dogs frequently will tell you if they don't want you around. If a dog growls, bears its teeth and wrinkles its nose in a snarl, or if the hair on a dog's back is raised, keep away.
Stand your ground. Don't run away from a dog, especially a threatening one. Turning your back on a dog and running may awaken the dog's instinct to chase prey, and you don't want to be prey. If you encounter an unfamiliar dog, keep your cool, and walk slowly away without turning your back. Stand still if the dog appears ready to attack you, and keep your hands close to your sides with your fingers curled in to prevent getting them bitten.
Avoid eye contact with a dog. Don't look a strange dog right in the eyes. The dog may see this as a challenge.
Teach children how to act around dogs, and don't leave children unattended with dogs. Children are small and vulnerable to bites, and they also tend to want to play with dogs even when dogs aren't feeling up to playing. This can lead to situations where a child is in fact harassing a dog, and the dog may become aggressive in order to get the child to stop.
Be careful when moving an injured dog. A dog in pain may lash out even at a friendly person. If you do want to help move a dog that has been injured, either be prepared to receive a minor bite or put on heavy gloves and a heavy coat to protect yourself. If the owner is present, ask him or her to handle the dog's head while you help lift the body.
Be careful when splitting up dogs that are fighting. If possible try not to physically touch the dogs at all. Spraying with a hose or pepper spray may work. If you have to touch them, grab them by the hind legs to pull them apart. Don't touch near their heads or shoulders.
For Dog Owners
Spay or neuter your dog. Having your dog spayed or neutered can reduce aggressive tendencies that can spark dogs to get into fights with other dogs and to bite people.
Begin socializing your dog early. Dogs that feel uncomfortable or threatened around new people or other dogs are more likely to bite. Introducing your dog to other people and critters first in a non-threatening environment (your home, for example), and then by bringing him out into new environments will ease your dog's fears and improve his behavior around others.
Get your dog accustomed to eating around people. Since most bitings occur when someone tries to pet a dog who is eating, distract your dog when it is a puppy. push it's head away from the bowl, take the bowl, push or rub it, do things that you normally shouldn't. This will socialize the dog to people being around it while it is eating, effectively reducing the risk of a biting.
Train your dog basic commands. Training your dog to sit, stay, and drop his toys on command will give your dog the discipline he needs in order for you to help him stay out of trouble.
Play non-aggressive games with your dog and don't encourage biting. Games like tug-of-war can strengthen a dog's instinct to bite and can make him feel that biting is acceptable behavior. The same can be said if you allow your puppy to nip your hands. That behavior can mean trouble when the puppy gets bigger.
Keep your dog's vaccinations up-to-date. A sick dog, particularly one with rabies, is a dangerous dog, no matter how gentle or well-trained he normally is.
Be a loving and responsible owner. While it's important to discipline your dog, do not discipline him by hitting him or by other violent means. Give your dog plenty of attention and make sure he knows that people are his best friends. Neglected or abused dogs are much more likely to bite people than are dogs that are showered with love and attention. Besides, animal abuse and neglect is reprehensible, and it's a crime. If, for whatever reason, you can't care for a dog properly you should not have one.
Keep your dog on a leash when out and about. A leash is the most effective bite-prevention device available. Without a leash you don't have any way to make certain your dog doesn't run after a dog or another person. Besides, leash laws are common, so if you don't have your dog leashed, you may be breaking the law.
Keep your dog away from trouble situations. If you know that dog doesn't interact well with other dogs, don't bring him to the neighborhood dog park. If your dog gets aggressive around delivery men, keep your dog in another room when you answer the door. As a pet owner, you know your dog's personality and dislikes, and you are in the best position to keep him or her out of trouble.
Tips
For more information on how to deal with a dog attack and how to treat a dog bite wound, see how to Handle a Dog Attack
Understand that just about any dog can inflict a serious bite. Plenty of people who have the good sense to avoid a huge Rottweiler get bitten because they don't think twice about approaching a feisty little dachshund.
When walking your dog, make sure you keep your dog on a leash and stay clear of other dogs. Try to anticipate problems if you see another dog ahead. Even if your dog is friendly, that doesn't mean everyone else's is. If a fight does break out, be careful how you go about breaking it up (see above). As the dog's owner you will almost certainly have to get involved even though there is a risk of being bitten. If the fight isn't broken up quickly, one or both of the dogs could suffer serious injury.
If you leave your dog in the yard alone, make sure the yard is securely fenced and/or that the dog is on a chain. Do not leave your dog chained for extended periods, as this is known to foster aggression.
Warnings
If your dog bites someone, even if the person is not seriously injured, you may be liable for monetary damages. You may also have your homeowners insurance canceled or have insurance denied. Worst of all, your dog may be labeled as a nuisance and, in the worst cases, be taken away from you and put down. Be responsible, or you'll regret it.

How to Handle a Dog Attack
It may have happened to you before: you're walking or biking through the neighborhood when suddenly an unfamiliar dog crosses your path. The dog begins barking, growling; maybe it even charges you. So much for man's best friend. Even small dogs can be threatening if they're worked up, and just about any dog can inflict a painful bite. If a dog attacks you, your response can be the difference between escaping uninjured and being bitten. What you do may even be the difference between life and death.
Most dogs are not aggressive but rather just curious or defending what they perceive as their territory. It is most important to be able to tell if a dog is just playing or is being truly aggressive.
Steps
Take precautions to avoid getting into a bad situation. Most dog attacks are the result of human provocation or simple mistakes that can easily be avoided.
Watch the dog's body language.
If the dog approaches you with it's head held high or low it is probably not going to attack. A dog who's head is level means business.
A loping gait means the dog is playful and checking you out. An even, steady run means business.
Remain calm.
There's some truth to the adage that dogs and other animals can sense fear. If you panic, you may make the dog feel more confident in his attack, or you may appear threatening to the dog. Neither of these is a good situation.
Control the situation.
Remember that most dogs are in subjugation to humans. A commanding "Down!" or "Go Home!" may stop an attack momentarily, giving you time to back away.
Don't run.
Running away can awaken the dog's instinct to chase and catch animals, and he may pursue you vigorously even if it's initial intent was just playful. In addition, you won't be able to outrun a dog if you're on foot, even if you are on a bicycle you usually will not be able to outrun a dog.
Hold your position
Dogs have short attention spans. Often after a bit of barking the dog will lose interest and go away. Do not appear threatening to the dog, and don't open your hands and arms up to a bite by extending them. Keep your fingers curled into fists to avoid getting them bitten. The dog may come quite close, even sniffing you, without actually biting.
If Cycling, dismount and keep the bicycle between you and the dog. This will create a barrier of protection.
If a dog is attacking you (vs, just barking) use the bicycle as a weapon to strike the dog. Holding the bicycle by the stem (handlebars) and the seat, swing the bicycle tire to hit the dog. But don't lose you grip as you will have lost a valuable defensive tool.
If the dog is lunging at you, wave a cloth away from your head. The dog will be more likely to lung at the cloth than your face or neck.
Back away slowly and leave the area once the dog loses interest in you. Staying calm and stationary can be a real test of your nerves in this situation, but it's the best thing to do as long as the dog isn't actually biting you.
Curl into a fetal position if you're physically attacked. Use your arms and hands to protect your face and neck, and curl up in a ball.
Remain motionless and don't scream. Dog will almost always lose interest in you if you remain still. Wait until the dog leaves the area before getting up.
Don't use pepper spray or mace. The odds of hitting dog in the face before it can attack you are very small. You are more likely just to make the dog mad.
Don't hit the dog on the head. Dogs have very thick skulls. You will only make the dog mad. The only place to hit a dog that will have an effect is across the back of the neck near the base of the skull or across the sensitive nose. This may not be useful in self defense but can certainly be used if a partner is being attacked.
Avoid making eye contact with the dog. Dogs perceive eye contact as a challenge and a threat. Look slightly down or askew of the dog, but keep him in your vision.
Avoid smiling at the dog. You may be putting on a friendly face, but an aggressive dog sees you baring your teeth for a fight.
After an attack
Attend to any wounds. If you do get bitten, be sure to take care of any wounds promptly, as even minor bites can cause infection.
Apply gentle pressure to stop minor bleeding. Use a clean cloth or sterile gauze pad. If bleeding is serious or if it won't stop after several minutes of applying pressure, seek medical attention.
Wash the wound thoroughly. Use warm water and soap (preferably antibacterial soap) to gently cleanse the wound.
Dress the wound. Use a sterile band-aid (for very small cuts) or sterile bandages.
Apply fresh bandages and apply antibiotic ointment at least 1 or 2 times a day.
See a medical professional promptly if you suffer serious wounds or if your wound shows signs of infection, including redness, warmth, increasing tenderness, or oozing pus. Also see a doctor if you haven't had a tetanus shot in the past 5 years. See the tip below about rabies.
Contact the owner and animal control authorities. In order to prevent such incidents in the future, as well as to determine if the animal has rabies, you should notify the local police or animal control department promptly. Many states have laws holding owners responsible for the actions of their dogs.
Tips
Note that while in some parts of the world rabies is more common, it is quite rare in the U.S. and most of the developed world. That said, if the dog appears sick or if he falls ill within 10 days of the incident, the dog should be tested for rabies immediately. If the dog tests positive you must go through a series of rabies shots. If the dog cannot be found after the incident, you should see a doctor to determine whether you should get the shots. The rabies shot sequence, if it is necessary, should be begun as soon as possible after the bite.
Dog bites have significant potential for infection, but cat bites are actually even worse.
Every mid-size and large dog breed can be dangerous. While some breeds have been singled out as being particularly vicious, beware any attack and react appropriately. Conversely, understand the the vast majority of dogs of any breed are gentle and won't attack a person.
Warnings
Every dog is different, and dogs will react in sometimes unpredictable ways. These tips will help you escape danger in most situations, but you may have to adapt to an attack.
Watch for signs of infection closely if you've been bitten. The adage about a dog's mouth being clean simply isn't true. There's a lot of bacteria in there.
