This Is What I Think ....

This is What I Think .... First it says it took 90 minutes to get the police to arrive. Poor role model for the teenager applying the right kind of decision into action . Then it goes on to say the man was naked? hello? shouldn't alarm bells ring there? behaviour plus conditions? the two just don't add up to healthy thinking. The person's behaviour is clearly indifferent. To be naked is an offence in itself; we don't have naked parks. To abuse an animal in a public space? to try to drown an animal in a public space? Isn't that clear enough that if this person is brave enough to show his mental “unwellness” – (let’s face it he could have done this in his backyard right? - & actually done a much worse thing in public) – so I think someone should be smart enough to recognize it's a cry for help? 30 children saw this? My daughter (who is 13) said she would be in shock from viewing this; no-one has even considered this aspect; have they? This is mental torture – how would you conceive the picture? How long would it take the mind to understand what went on? Those kids need support as well! It says that after 90 minutes the police removed the dog. From 1pm that means at 2.30 the dog was removed. Where did they remove the dog too if the dog was back at 6pm? 3.5hrs later? But "The police did not taken action" - despite her protests? I know that there is an error within the text .... but .... I don’t understand – did she protest? Or did she request? What is the difference? And how did the Police determine the difference? And who witnessed it? I think that the police maybe didn’t know what to do; so they did what they thought was right. But then too – what is right? Maybe this is right – let the public have their say and provide solutions to right the inappropriate behaviour? I would write to the Police and send a copy to the Councillor for the Ward; and a copy to the State Member and request a solution. Between the 3 of them something should be formally considered and transparently shared with the public – surely? Otherwise ... what’s going on? No wonder people live in fear.

Good on you Lara Scholz – go for it; I support you support the reality and severity of this situation. I’m not even going to tell my 8 year old who want’s to become a Vet!
