Dogs 'jumping up in greeting' constitutes a threat??

[Catherine]

Somebody somewhere got a bright idea about the dog laws. They did not think it through, they just pushed for a "better" law.
You are right. Your dog Payne would be seen as dangerous and the free roaming, chicken killing neighbour's dogs are not.

There are clearly people out there who do not like animals. When they are in positions of power and authority it is scary. They are the dangerous ones. Be careful who you vote for. Look what you might end up with.
