Dog ban

[AlargeClaret]

Need to triple the license and enforce it propely or the dog gets put down. The revenue could go to “ dog only” ( or at least dog friendly ) zones where they can go and sh1t all day and not have to lay their mess on footy pitches local parks etc . Dogs can be fantastic pets but they sh1t a hell of a lot and that’s totally the responsibility of the owner . The sad thing is that it’s not just a small minority . I recently had a an altercation with 2 fat tattooed women while footy training with lad , their dog ( German Shephard type) lays a huge cable on a clearly marked junior pitch to our right . I shouts at her to clean it up and her and her mate start effing and jeffing and came over and the bigger of the two actually offered to fight me saying she’d “ die for her dog” or some such drivel ! I politely declined not out of chivalry but more that she looked liked she could go in the Tyson Fury

There was an enormous kerfuffle years ago when Burnley Council banned dogs from parks and I think aggrieved parties went to Westminster over it and the House of Lords were involved. Think the wrangle went on several years and as I understand matters a local non-dog owning councillor even borrowed a canine friend for one such protest in ?London
No idea if the ban was eventually deemed illegal or not. My recollections of returning to Burnley regularly in the 1970's with my young children, to see their grandparents and my parents, were that the streets of Burnley were not paved with gold but with dogs**t!!!!

There is no dog license in the UK.It was abolished in the 1980's you are required to have them chipped.

Most dog owners do act responsibly. I think the clue to your unfortunate experience is "tattooed women " any woman with a tattoo should
be automatically put to sleep.

What do we do about cats.Never trust anyone who dislikes dog they tend to be miserable gits.

What if they dislike dogs because they've been bitten by one?

Bite it back of course...what a silly question

Dog lovers can be strange people. My great grandma was a dog lover. She once said that she would never have voted for Hitler if she knew he'd end up poisoning his dog.

Was she German?

Well this has been an interesting topic. What no-one seems to have pointed out (forgive me if they have as some of the nonsense on this thread caused my my eyes glaze over at times) is that there is no such thing as a bad dog only bad owners. Dogs are fun and great companions but are only as good as the person they live with. When I go out with our Staffy I occasionally get people walking to one side as though I've got a lion on the lead but the fact is unless they are trained otherwise (by d!ckheads who want to look hard) they are actually the most placid dog around. They have no natural violence in them and the The Kennel Club have them as only one of two breeds that are safe with children and if he gets picked on by another dog he just turns his head and brushes it aside. He loves a play fight but has never hurt anyone or anything. Looks are misleading. My grandkids love him and ride on his back.

As far as the OP is concerned I think someone is winding people up because the RSPCA would have something to say if you didn't take your dog out as it is cruel. A few years ago in Rome it became an offence to own a dog and not walk it regularly.

By the way he sh!ts loads but I always pick it up.

[Healeywoodclaret]

No **** take. Some idiot with his huge rotweiller on the canal on sunday. Shits all over the towpath then just brazenly walks off.

I would have said something but for the sheer size and brainlessness of the big dopy thing. Owner that is not the rottweiler.

Jesus what a coward! I'd challenge anybody I saw walking away from their dogs doo doo.

[Healeywoodclaret]

I've got two Spaniels. I have no problem picking up after them. If you can't clean up after your dogs you shouldn't have them simple as that.

Think if it like this. It's like changing a baby's nappy. It's not a problem when it's your baby. Same when it's your dog. It's your dog your mess. Clean it up!

[Billy Balfour]

Was she German?

Yes and she loved dogs.

Judging by the crap postings on here I assume it's a slow news day.

Dogs are great and my Staffy is better than most people I know.

He would be , you don't leave the house.

[IanMcL]

No issue with dogs or their owners if they clear up after themselves. Also, no dogs on pitches - that is dangerous to human health.

[Billy Balfour]

No dogs on parks where children play. Parks aren't dog toilets.

I would. If I had a dog with me to back me up.

[houseboy]

What kind of statement is that? I work, unlike you. Does your social money arrive ontime every week?

I never mentioned employment but feel free to get it off your chest. It was only a daft dig at your username.

Unfortunately I have always been in a position where I have worked to live and always will be.

Staffs are very chavvy dogs by the way.

Ha ha. The username is a play on words bud and I'm sorry I misundersdtood your joke - not like me.
Incidentally the Kennel Club say of the Staffy 'Despite its early function (as a fighting dog), the Staffordshire Bull Terrier is known as a wonderful family pet'. The only 'chavvy' perception comes about because of the very small minority of idiots who think they are macho in some way. They are indeed very powerful and brave animals but they have no natural inclination towards violence at all. In fact if anyone in our house starts to play fight Charlie will join in but if he thinks it gets too serious he will actually try to stop it by pushing people apart or even gently, with no force at all, grab the arm of the 'aggressor' and pull them away. He is a lovely soul who has never harmed or in any way hurt anyone or any animal, he even plays with the cat and they sleep together.They are now, according to the Kennel club, one of the most popular dog breeds in the country and cause far less injury to humans than Labradors.

There you go bud - the Staffy - a wonderful animal.

Yes of course you would.

[Dejavu]

While we are at it lets ban all wildlife from public areas. Or do they not **** everywhere!! Dog owners in general are very protective of these sort of areas and I dread to think where we would be without them.

[Healeywoodclaret]

Yes of course you would.

Absolutely of course I would! Are you saying you wouldn't? Unbelievable.

[Bfcboyo]

, he even plays with the cat and they sleep together.

This was enough for me to call the NSPCA

I wasn't saying anything mate, you were.

Oh no, what WAS I saying?

[South West Claret.]

Iran's capital city has banned the public from walking pet dogs as part of a long-standing official campaign to discourage dog-ownership. Driving with a dog in your car has also been banned. Police authorities say the ban is because of dogs "creating fear and anxiety" among members of the public.

"Driving with a dog in your car has also been banned"...Beware dog owners it could happen here

[Billy Balfour]

Corona mmmmm nice.

Parvo also sounds like a lager. I bet it would taste like a dog's arse. Not that I've ever tasted one, I hastily add.
