Should dogs be forced to wear glow in the dark collars if ?

Question

they are considered dangerous?

Answer 1

Only the Yellow glow in the dark NOT the Green glow in the dark.  My sister wears that one when she is driving.

Answer 2

To those who demand to know what defines a dangerous dog, that's taken out of our hands in Australia thankfully. Certain breeds are banned here, & for good reason. Others, such as greyhounds must wear a muzzle when out in public. We have a greyhound & a Siberian Husky, but despite the fact we trust them, we don't know how they'll react to other people & pets. Our Husky tried to kill my daughter's cat recently when we visited their home, yet she never touches our cats or the other two dogs. People should realise that you can't trust some breeds & act with caution when out & about. I applaud your idea Captain, because despite what's been said here, many people walk their dogs at night, & others let theirs roam at will to be a nuisance/danger to others.

Answer 3

I don't see the link between those two.   It's like asking if dogs should be forced to wear halters if they have white nails.  

Answer 4

Are glow in the dark collars dangerous, or the dog?

More so, if the dog is dangerous, why are you confronting it during the dark times, you must be doing  something not so good lurking around in the dark. By no means is a glow in the dark collar going to help if the dog was dangerous. Now, my friends dog is all black, and when he is running in the dark, you only know where he is due to his tags changing toegther, now, I would love to get him a glow in the dark collar, but hes not dangerous.

Now, if the collars are considered dangerous, then no.. dogs shouldnt wear them.

Answer 5

Apparently this is a law somewhere in Australia:

Answer 6

I have had 2 dogs that wore glow-in-the-dark, reflective collars. One was my Giant Schnauzer who had a bad habit of laying in doorways (and I have a bad habit of not bothering to turn the light on), and the other is my current dog, a solid liver roan German Shorthaired Pointer. She was my service dog until just recently, and the added security of having a dog glow and reflect while crossing the street to me is a bonus. Assuming you are worried about the *collars*,  I am on my 4th, and have never had an issue with them. Over time the glow-in-the-dark strip will crack and start to peel off the collar which is why I went through 3 others.

If you are worried about dangerous *dogs*, then the dog should be reported to the local animal control. Hopefully they can get it away from an owner that would keep (or make) one that's dangerous and accessible to the public.

Edit: miaugh, thanks for clearing that up. I was scratching my head on that one!

Answer 7

like others said.. what about dogs in daylight?

What about nice dogs that wear glow in the dark collars for safety reasons?  My dad's standard poodle has a glow in the dark collar on..  would someone associate him as being a dangerous dog just because he has a glow in the dark collar?

I think there should be tighter restrictions on dangerous dogs..  secure fencing, muzzled in public, stricter fines if the dog gets loose, etc.  A simple collar wont solve the problem.

Answer 8

what does one have to do with the other? Considering most 'dangerous' dog attacks occur during daylight hours what good is a glow in the DARK collar?

ADD: What determination will be used to qualify a dog as dangerous in your mind? Actual attacks in the animals past? Aggression complaints? Or just plain old breed bias?

Answer 9

the real question here is would u want to be force to wear something u wouldnt want to wear

Answer 10

Yes, and if my sister fails her math quiz, she will sing "Spider Pig" from the Simpsons Movie.

I'm sorry, that was blatant sarcasm, but I really cannot see how the two go together.

Answer 11

I cant see how this would be of any use.  What are they supposed to wear when the sun comes up???

Did you just think this up yourself????? LOL

Answer 12

You mean the collars are dangerous?

Any dog can wear a glow in the dark collars,it is so they can be seen by motorists at night,the dog does not have to wear one,it's up to the owner.

but a dangerous dog must wear a collar that warns people it is dangerous.You get them from the council.
