That the Council -
1) notes a tragic incident in which a five-year-old boy was mauled to death by a Rottweiler dog in Durbanville in Cape Town on Saturday, 20 November 2010;
2) further notes that the dog was released from the back section of the house in order to guard the home owners' wedding gifts;
3) takes this opportunity to convey its profound condolences to the families of the deceased boy, especially the mother of the boy, Ms Shannon Saunders, and the boy's friend Clint who helplessly witnessed the tragic incident; and
4) calls on families with aggressive dogs to ensure that they are secured all the time, especially where there are children.
