This has sickened me...
http://www.snh.gov.uk/news-and-events/pres...ls/?id=698
I was riding my bike around this area a few days before, and counted 8 dogs...only 1 was on a lead, 7 were charging all over the undergrowth. Signs were everywhere, no-one could miss them... One area even asks for no access at all from dawn until 0800 to allow the rare birds to proceed as nature intended. I did raise this with one dog-walker, a discussion which quickly became heated (he admitted seeing the signs, but claimed "my dog need excersize too")...

Plenty of irresponsible dog owners about.

Like all humans, there are responsible dog owners and selfish idiots who think stuff doesn't apply to them.
Where I live there is an SSI with a bit of a car park. Lately people have been leaving their collected dog poo in the little bags in a pile at the base of a tree in the car park because they don't want to put it in their own cars. So some magic tree fairies are going to come along and clean it all up? No, someone from our village like me comes and shifts it cos we are all fed up looking at it. I am a dog owner, but I take responsibility for mine (apart from the time she stole a ball off a kid on the beach and then ran over to someone else, jumped on the castle mum & toddler were making and then wee'd on it in front of them - at that point I became an outraged anti dog person looking for the suddenly mysteriously absent owner  - in my defence, they were all in the dog friendly part of the beach!) |

Dogs worrying stock or wildlife should be shot, and are in some places. Simple. I love dogs as much as anyone, but the amount of damage done by them is shocking. Probably the worst thing about CROW. Good things come to the wild and free

Funnily enough we had a similar discussion at lunch today during the course I was on, too many dog owners just let their dogs run riot through woods and farmland, then wonder why there's no wildlife about. Steve.
