Missing dog

Something else the dog warden said.

It only takes one irresponsible dog owner to let the dog out on its own and you have a big problem in an area. If a dog delivers 2 or 3 nasty packages each day that's between 14 and 21 in a week. I think you will agree that is a lot of mess in a small area.

so just imagine how much cats are leaving about the place then, if their not pooping all over the place they are chucking up green puke plus what ever other vile things they have picked up routing through rubbish.

yes i agree dogs can make a right mess and irrispoisible owners will leave it for somone to step in but lets face it theres easily way more poop left abandoned by cats because most cats are slung out the house and teh only time an owner sees them is when they put out a plate of food for them

yes i know there are a FEW people who keep house cats and tehy never leave the house but the majority are left to go and poop wherever they please and everyone else has to clean up after their pets for them

cat owners would soon complain if i started useing their garden as a toilet so why shoud we have to tolerate their pets using our gardens as toilets?
 
My cats don't leave the house much, Eric never goes further than the gate, they use a litter tray and are very clean animals,cleaner than some humans I know. They don't get put out at night and are very much part of the family. Some folk like cats , some folk don't, I do !:)

firstly ..The dog got out because the gate was left open because the binmen came to remove furniture...not bin bags, they should have left the gate shut, it has a handle to shut it, but no they cant be bothered to do that!
secondly the dog got out about 12:15 and was found, i think about 3 hrs later, ...what i dont understand is why they took it straight to the kennels, i thought they took em to the police station first!, noooooo. now this warden wants £70 to get him back!,, which they cant afford...I hope he can sleep at night!!

Not the wardens fault, it's the system.....rats get away scott free as do some of the garbage that roam the streets in hoods and trackies.
God we need a shake up in values.
If intent cannot be proved a sentence can be reduced from murder to manslaghter....this is a case of....my dog was on my property and was let out by a third party who were allowed onto the property with the owners consent and should have left the property intact as they found it...including dog.

The reason the dog got out was the owners fault. The gate should be secure before letting the dog out. Shutting it is not secure.

And please can we stop blaming the dog warden for doing his job. His job is to remove stray dogs. A dog on its own is a stray.
 
Changing the focus of the subject to the dog........will Jae be charged for the upkeep of the dog whilst it is in kennels....even though he cannot pay?
Is there any provision for Jae to pay the cost in instalments?

Actually the gate had a latch, which can only be opened if ya push the lever, so the gate was shut, only man could open it!;)

Only man or child. If it can easily be opened it is not secure.

Would you say it was secure if your child opened a gate after getting mixed up on the back street and thought it was his or his friends and ended up being attacked by a dog?
 
IMO, the council workers are to blame for not securing the gate, and having to pay £70 for just picking him up is just ridiculous!

That doesn't make it secure though, does it?

I've got to agree with Neil on this one.

I'm glad the dog was has been found and will be reunited with his owner.

It is good manners to close a gate behind you but some people don't.

It is the dog owner's responsibility to ensure the dog can't escape even if the gate is left open.

Is the £70 a fine for allowing it to escape?

If it is a fine is it high enough?

If the fine was £200 would people be a lot more careful before opening the back door and letting fido wander out to dump on someone else's doorstep. I know that is not the case here or course.

Where is the logic on that one....can we apply that situation on our very secure prison system? :eek:

I have no idea what prison has to do with it.

Are you trying to say the it is not the dog owners responsibility to make sure the dog is not roaming the streets on its own.

If you want to use an analogy - who's fault is it if a parent leaves the front door unlocked at a two year old opens it, runs into the road and is killed by a car.

I suppose you will blame the driver for driving his car on the road :rolleyes:
