Barking dogs and control of dogs - Page 4

Devo, You appear to be a gentle man and see only the good in people. I say this in a friendly way. But, the people here who allow their dogs run free on restaurant terraces, who refuse to clean up after Fido drops its load on walkways, who refuse to acknowledge the potential danger dogs can provi...

...de towards people, who flout laws that ban dogs from beaches, who paint over public signs advising pet control, who allow their dogs bark at night, who refuse to put muzzles on dogs which by law is demanded, etc etc.

The culprits know what they are doing. They are not stupid. Ask them to mend their ways and they’ll hit you with a torrent of abuse that has the effect of an Exocet missile. They come onto fora such as this and have the opinions of good people (who are law abiding) thrashed, threads deleted, etc.

They don’t stop there. They lie. They do everything to deflect attention. They even defend animals that potentially cause savage injuries or even death. Irish media is currently running with a story where a new born child was savaged to death by the family dog on first meeting. The child’s sister was attacked by the dog immediately after and somehow survived with dreadful injuries. I could copy the news cutting to the forum, but the content is not for the feint hearted. Before this discussion ends some of the so called animal lovers will try to somehow defend the dog.

I don’t think I could breathe the same air as these people. Or worse again share the same area. They don’t care about anybody, why should I extend an olive branch to them?

I respect animal owners who are the opposite of what I have described. We have two dogs and I have no hesitation saying they are man’s best friend.

Hi Mathew all I was going to say is we are in a very small village only a couple of people speak English really lovely place but sometimes just sometimes it is a nightmare .

One dog barks that's starts another and then barking nearly all night . I find it hard to understand that if you have a dog for security why not take notice if it barks ? It happen one women on her own dog barking all afternoon she was asleep on sofa and got burgled,  can you see my point ....

Hi Bobske, Dogs bark, dogs have to answer call of nature etc. Nobody has a problem with such. It’s when dogs are a threat to life or allowed to poo in public places where its owner refuses to clean up the droppings, waiting staff fondling animals and not even to think about sanitising hands bef...

...ore serving food, animal owners blatantly refusing to muzzle dogs which is required by law, owners who refuse to have full control of their dogs in public.

Dogs can be man’s best friend. They perform many beneficial roles e,g, security, friendship etc. I have two dogs and wouldn’t be without them.

If you think I object to people caring for dogs you’re wrong. However, I do object to dog owners who abuse the laws of the land and allow their dogs to behave in a threatening or unhealthy way.

1. Jenni has much more issues than I thought.

2. I tried to help her with her presentation skills (or lack of) and all I get from her is abuse. But, sticks and stones . . . I never said anything about her grammar. Her reading skills need attention too.

3. Now she is an ultra feminist . . . What next?

4. Thank God, I don’t have to sit next to her on a long haul flight.

5. Thank God for Devo, a welcome breath of fresh air on this forum. But, Jenni has issues with his love of National Hunt racing and she wants the Grand National banned.

6. In the previous thread that was deleted Jenni informed us that she disliked dogs pooing in public places and in restaurant terraces. Is it fair to say has she changed her mind? Does she speak with forked tongue?
