Missing dog - Page 9

I didn't realise volunteering wasn't work. The job centre classifies volunteering as work. Unpaid work.

Unless I'm missing something.

I'd be pretty ****ed off if I had to keep going out to retrieve my dog because people with no manners couldn't be bothered to close my gate. At the end of the day, Jae lives with his elderly grandparents and they shouldn't have to keep getting up to close their gate just because the binmen can't be bothered.

I've always been told to leave a place as I found it. I thought the park has an animal area which presumably needs to be kept secure at all times. Maybe we should feed the animals crap and then blame you for having a fence that has gaps to poke things through? If the goats did damage to a person passing by you'd blame the person, you wouldn't take responsibility because you've asked people to show respect and follow the rules you have in place and you'd put all the liability on them.

I always thought in America that a collar was seen as a sort of licence on a dog and if it escaped they'd return it to you but if it had no collar it'd be a stray and they'd fine you for it.

May I remind you that one of the goats did hurt someone and he was removed shortly afterwards.

Guess you don't do geography at uni. Hyndburn isn't in America

Thanks Blazey.....I thought we'd put this thread to bed.

I could type more but would only be re-iterating the views I've already expressed.

Just three words will do.........Neil is right.

Dave, its blazey, you've got to make allowances

I'm just putting forward an example of how an irresponsible dog owner is distinguished from one that is very responsible and loving to their pet. It's called comparative reflection.

Never mind though.

Neil can be classes as 'right' for all I care, because at the end of the day I know for a fact that he is wrong in this instance and should have kept his big cocky mouth shut in the first place.
