CONVICTED (2022) | William Gauley, born c. 1994, of 63 Baldovan Crescent, Easterhouse, Glasgow G33 4LR – used his two dogs as a weapon against three police officers and a police dog.
A court ordered the destruction of bulldogs Boston and Mastiff after their owner, violent career criminal William Gauley, ordered them to attack the officers and PD Diesel.
Gauley, who was armed with a knife and meat cleaver, instructed the dogs to pounce on the officers as they tried to arrest his brother, Ryan Gauley.
One officer suffered three bites on the thigh, leaving him requiring eight or nine stitches, while another was bitten once and police dog Diesel was also attacked during the melee.
Gauley pleaded guilty to assaulting constables Ryan Plunkett, Martin O’Neill and David Craig.
He also admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner, being in charge of a dogs that were dangerously out of control as well as the unlawful possession of a knife and meat cleaver in a public place.
Sheriff Iain Fleming jailed Gauley for 27 months and disqualified him from owning a dog for four-and-a-half years.
An order was made for the dogs, who have been held in kennels since the incident, to be destroyed.
Its my opinion that it was Very Unfair To Euthanize These Two Dogs.
They listened to their Owner, Who Ordered Them To Attack, and that is Exactly What Personal Protection Dogs Do.
Therefore it would be down to the Owner To Pay The Price and Not The Dogs.
THEY SHOULD BE BANNED FROM HAVING ANY ANIMAL AGAIN ANIMALS BEING TRAINED TOO ATTACK PEOPLE ISN’T A GREAT PET YES ITS VERY SAD FOR THE DOGS BUT THAT IS DOWN TO HOW THEYVE BEEN TREATED
