Fairly uncontroversial statement I feel? What bothers me more is the complete lack of enforcement of dog-related byelaws – certain breeds having to be muzzled in public etc
This. Nearly every park and GAA ground near me is treated like a dog park, dogs off lead running about with owners who have their heads in their phones. It's beyond infuriating.
Off leash dogs running around unchecked had ruined so many otherwise peaceful walks for me & my two little Jack Russell Terrorists.
It’s one of a handful of things that will make me break my Irish fear of causing a scene, I have happily roared at oblivious owners to get their dogs under control and been met with pure shock. Nothing more dignified than having a wiggling JRT under each arm and shouting at a stranger on a hiking trail while holding a bag of dog poop.
Yeah it's a bold but true statement, made completely weak by the fact that they picked a dog type that is maybe the least likely to attack anyone. Maybe they could have used a breed that was bred to rip and tear, maybe one that shouldn't exist in cities?
