Dog Expert Richard Polsky Advises on Dangerous Dog Hearings
In Los Angeles, animal control agencies are allowed to take action to protect the public from so-called “dangerous dogs.”
(firmenpresse) - Los Angeles, California — The city and county of Los Angeles make provisions to deal with incidents of dog bites in California or other injuries caused by canines. In Los Angeles, a “dangerous dog hearing” may be called in the event of a dog attack in California. A California dog bite is treated very seriously since the state does not have a “one-bite” rule as some states do. Under a one-bite rule, the first time a dog bites it is not assumed that the owner knew the dog was dangerous. However, in California, any dog bite is considered the responsibility of the owner.
Dr. Richard Polsky notes that the outcome of a dangerous dog hearing is not necessarily predictable. Depending on the circumstances, the dog may be returned to the owner, the dog’s license may be revoked, or the dog could be removed from the owner’s control. The outcome of the hearing depends on the incident that brought the owner to court and if the dog has bitten more than twice. If so, the animal may be removed and action brought against the owner.
Although it is theoretically up to the complainant to prove that the dog is vicious, many hearing officers are biased against owners and their dogs. Highly-publicized fatal dog attacks with certain breeds such as pit bulls mean that any dog of this breed is already considered dangerous by many officers. It is important that an owner with an accused dog have the help of a dog bite expert witness if they are to overcome this bias.
