IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 
SEPTEMBER 14, 2006 
Mr. MCCOTTER submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the 
Committee on Agriculture 
RESOLUTION 
Encouraging municipalities to adopt and enforce effective 
protections against dog bites, and for other purposes. 
Whereas the Congress has sought to protect the public from 
all safety hazards including dangerous dogs; 
Whereas there are over 74,000,000 owned dogs in the United 
States; 
Whereas the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention con-
cluded dogs bite nearly 2 percent of the United States 
population (more than 4,700,000 people annually) and 
800,000 bites per year are serious enough to require 
medical attention; 
Whereas over 3,000 United States Postal Service mail car-
riers are bitten by dogs each year, along with an un-
known number of meter readers, police officers, and other

door-to-door professionals who have regular exposure to 
numerous dogs; 
Whereas the average cost of a dog bite (or other attack) re-
sulting in a claim for medical treatment equals $336; 
Whereas the Centers for Disease Control determined that 
over 70 percent of dogs involved in attacks are 
unneutered males; 
Whereas the Centers for Disease Control, the United States 
Department of Agriculture, and the American Veterinary 
Medical Association have all determined the chaining or 
tethering of dogs continuously is an inhumane practice 
and creates dogs who are at significantly greater risk to 
bite; 
Whereas communities across the country provide subsidized 
pet sterilization services; and 
Whereas communities across the country have enacted legisla-
tion that bans or restricts the practice of chaining dogs 
for the purpose of addressing dog bites and dangerous 
dogs: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Rep-
resentatives that— 
(1) dog bites and dangerous dogs are issues 
which must be addressed by each community for the 
sake of community safety and, when addressing 
these issues, municipalities should consider the many 
factors contributing to a dog’s temperament and 
enact model programs and legislation addressing 
these multiple factors; and

(2) dogs who are continuously chained, and 
male dogs who have not been neutered, are more 
likely to pose a threat and, therefore, these factors 
should be a priority for communities addressing dog 
bite and dangerous dog issues.

Whereas on February 20, 1946, President Harry Truman 
stated, ‘‘Philippine Army veterans are nationals of the 
United States and will continue in that status until July 
4, 1946. They fought, as American nationals, under the 
American flag, and under the direction of our military 
leaders. They fought with gallantry and courage under

Veterans of World War II and honor them for their con-
tribution to our freedom.’’; 
Whereas on July 26, 2001, President George W. Bush, in his 
greetings to the Filipino World War II veterans said, 
‘‘More than 120,000 Filipinos fought with unwavering 
loyalty and great gallantry under the command of Gen-
eral Douglas MacArthur. The combined United States-
Philippine forces distinguished themselves by their valor 
and heroism in defense of freedom and democracy. Thou-
sands of Filipino soldiers gave their lives in the battles 
of Bataan and Corregidor. These soldiers won for the 
United States the precious time needed to disrupt the en-
emy’s plan for conquest in the Pacific. During the three 
long years following these battles, the Filipino people val-
iantly resisted a brutal Japanese occupation with an in-
domitable spirit and steadfast loyalty to America.’’; and
