re dog attack.

A very unfortunate thing to happen.

As usual with councils,they take a while to get going on matters like this.Always go to the chambers with pieces of paper-doctors bill,vet bill etc-they will photocopy them-this is a good sign.

Ask the council about who does vermin control,dog catching issues and similar.The fact that this has happened on your property-not just one incident but two of a serious nature,will get some sort of action.

Ask council if they supply box traps,they usually do not work well.But go through every protocol related to such an event,Make sure you write everything down as it happens,every meeting with council official.

Remuneration and justice is can sometimes take a while,sometimes its a case of the 'squeeky wheel gets the oil'-make a appointment with local councillor,remember to take all that paper work,and photos too-your wound-the duck etc.

If all else fails-go to 'today tonight' on channel 7 or similar,you will have all the paper work,and a list of sequence of events and what happened at every event.Sounds a little odd,but it usually makes things happen-quickly!
