where do I stand?
33 Answers
In the local park where I take my dog for a walk there are houses backed up to the park so their gardens face the park and there is a concrete wall between the gardens and the park. There's this one woman where either her, a dog or a fox has dog a hole under the concrete wall into her garden. And she puts an old biscuit tin out in the hole full of food. Whether it's to feed the foxes or deter them from coming in to her garden I don't know. But the issue is that my dog and lots of other dogs always run over there to eat the food. My dogs have got strict eating as they've got sensitive tummys so I can't have them eating whatever ti is she puts out. I see a lot of dog owners who are annoyed at this too. But I don't know where I stand on this. Yes I know the easiest thing is just to have my dog on the lead when passing the spot but should she really be leaving food out, it encourages rats too?

you need to stop generalising and assuming. has no one ever told you it's wrong to assume. Not everyone leaves dog mess, not everyone has a dog that attacks you, not everyone has a problem with controlling their dogs. Yes I do feel sorry for the victims of such tragedy but I feel sorry for a lot of victims of different tragedies. You can't say ALL dog owners ignore rules and laws. - Never assume, like you assume I'm a he.... as if
your choice i was only helping and gave you an opinion in there i didnt blow this up into an arguement i mearley mentioned something that is a big problem you took it personally. but by all means dont take my advice it is your loss.
For your info I am male and have been a fully qualifies solicitor for 8 months and have a rough understanding.
your choice
I thought solicitors had to be able to at least spell. And I didn't think single minded was part of being a solicitor.
So dogs attacking people is a big problem?? Right so that's why it's always crimes committed by people that take up the news and papers
Anyway I couldn't care less what you do for a living - in the words of Catherine Tate - AM I BOTHERED!!!!
I think Thunderbird+ has a point perhaps you could speek to her and find out why she puts the tin out instead of just filling in the hole if this does not work then perhaps try contacting the local coucil about the whole they may be able to help you :-)
Dropgoal3, if you go back and look at your first post it does look like you are attacking happyface by saying that she has no control of her dog my dog and my sisters dog are both very good of the lead but if they find food they will not come away from it easily in fact I don't know of many dogs that would come away from a free feed easily. You then go on a mention aggressive dogs this is not written in a general way it does look accusitory.
dropgoal what country are you in? I don't think it's the law for a dog to be muzzled when off the lead in the uk unless it is dangerous or a pitbull my dogs do go to obediance training our class is tonight infact but no matter how much control we have over our dogs they will still go for a feed if its offered thats what comes of being oppertunist eaters. but how much control we have of our dogs is not the point here you said a few things that although very valid don't really apply here. I think the question was about what to do about a woman leaving food out in an area where any animal could get at it this could encourage vermin which the coucil would then have to come and erradicate wasting a lot of time and money or this food could already be poisoned in which case it could be dangerours to children aswell. the dog part of this story is only seccondary.
