Post Workers to Watch Over Dog Behavior
Delivering mails door to door is never an easy task. It entails a lot of possible circumstances and sudden conditions which makes their job unsafe. As well as for those who are working in the nearby streets and roads like the construction workers, window cleaners and chimney cleaners.
Now that cases for post men and women had been continuously arising, the law and the employers are finding effectual ways to prevent it and at the same time make their work faster and safer and lose all uncertainties.
There are about 600 post men and women who have been confined to the hospital for medical care and treatment for the reason they were bitten and attacked by household dogs while delivering the mails. Although when you catch one being attacked by dogs, you tend to laugh and enjoy the scene but that calls not for laughter but danger.
This does not look pleasing and this should be taken action so that post workers will feel safer and less traumatized. In some countries, there had been solutions and actions regarding this serious matter. The use of repellant sprays which is sprayed on during an attack is a useful option and strategy to keep dogs away. Germany treats this situation by introducing and orienting post workers to a psychological analysis which enables them to learn more about dog’s behavior.
Dog owners are supposed to take care of their dogs and should be kept in the vicinity of the homeowner so as to prevent those dog biting situations. In the UK, dogs are being destroyed when they bite people but they can only be allowed to one bite and if it exceeds, for sure they are put to death with no questions asked.
It is important to make laws against dogs because some dog owners are very irresponsible and they refuse to take the claims of the postmen which is very sad on their part. Some dog owners may not know and they are not very aware of the risk that is entitled in owning dogs. They do not realize the burden they will face once the post man calls for a legal claim about their status which makes them liable for the financial budget and treatment.
To watch and prevent this carefully, dog owners should be urged to keep control of their dog’s behavior. Moreover, the Germans were very smart with their strategy. This situation regarding dogs are not hard to escape so it is wise to follow the German way so the postmen can watch themselves carefully and apply their self defense knowledge.
