allrightyessa Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 My 6 year old daughter has a 1 year old black labrador whom she absolutely adores but is already starting to ask must we bring the dog out with us? I really cannot see why cannot bring the dog out with us on her lead with plenty of poopy bags to places such as the Parks, Glens, Mooragh in Ramsey and Silverdale and in general anywhere that is supposed to be family orientated. I understand that there has always been a minority of irresponsible dog owners that do not clean up after their pets mess when out and about, but this banning of dogs is ridiculous and is only going to lead to neglect and mistreatment of pets. As it stands, I am constantly faced with the choice of leaving our pet home alone which means she is not walked as often and as much as she could be and is also at risk of becoming isolated , or we can bring her and as we do not have a car, I have to either leave her tied up outside the park and go in with my daughter or let my daughter play in the park on her own and wait outside with the dog. Either scenario has complictions and dangers as without constant supervision one or the other are at risk. People who have cars will be tempted to leave their pets in the car and this also carries huge risks of damage to the pets health and in some cases life. I really wish that this thoughtless new law could be overturned and with such a lovely summer hopefully arriving, why cant we deal with the problem of unwanted messes such as making dogs being kept on leads at all times within parks and children areas and more dog friendly areas available to let the dog run off to have a good play with ball or frisbee. Why couldnt we have a scheme for dog owners to subscribe and agree in a contract to always have their dog on a leash and clear up any mess the pet has made like pet owners should do anyway, but hopefully by signing up to a scheme and being given a pass card, would make them more responsible and consistant in doing this. It's a terrible shame that through a small minority of careless and irresponsible owners that this beautiful wonderful island of ours is becoming so prejudiced against families with pets. As a tax payer I want to be able to use the many wonderful sites around the island as a whole family and as our pets are an integral part of our families, mostly wanted loved and well cared for and looked after properly, we should be able to go out and about without being faced with the choices and decisions aforementioned.

xbones Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I would read that but it looks far too much effort so I'll guess. Yes, I agree, dogs should be banned. Edit for grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebees Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 I got bored after the "I'm a responsible dog owner" bit - on sunny days do you bring a spray to clean up it's pee too? I like dogs but they have a place and it isn't in a family park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may have an extremely valid and pertinent point but if no one reads it then it's useless. Split your points into paragraphs then expand on them, and keep it brief. Just my advice BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HT Douglas. I absolutely adore dogs but i too am a tax payer and i agree with the dog ban for many reasons,DOG WEE being one,its bad enough it being on our paths and pavements without having our playparks widdled all over thankyou.You may think that picking up after your little or big pooch is enough but it really isnt,the REMNANTS left behind after the poo is picked up is disgusting and still leaves a certain amount of mess but hey you're "picking it up" so it does'nt matter about whats left does it!How many of us TAX PAYERS have had a dog mess problem either outside our house or in our neighbourhood!Please allow us as TAX PAYERS to have just some areas that are dog free = poo free areas,thanyou.Incidentally,it is actually an offence to leave a dog or other pet in a car with or without windows open for obvious reasons but many "loving" dog owners do this.

JFC Posted June 2, 2009 Share Posted June 2, 2009 Even if you scrape dog poo into a bag there will still be enough residue remaining to carry disease. There should be dog allowed zones and dog forbidden zones. If you love dogs then fine, but most of our population are really pissed off dodging their shit all over the place. And Douglas is a bloody digrace for all the dog shite everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
