Once again, Tasers are used to effectively and with out causing damage but citizens are denied this self defense product. This incident took place in Australia where there was a massive confiscation of guns by the government in 1997-1999.

A police officer used a Taser to subdue a pit bull terrier yesterday when it viciously attacked a woman at her home in Sydney’s west.

The attack came as an ambulance service spokesman said 12 people had been bitten by dogs in the past 24 hours.

Police were called to the Parramatta house about 10:30am to investigate an assault on a man who also lived there.

When police moved in to arrest the woman because she was hindering their investigation, the dog attacked one officer and then latched on to the woman’s arm.

An officer then stunned the animal with a Taser and restrained it in a room in the house.

Nice to know that Tasers also work against attacking dogs.
