Up until recently it was legal to allow dogs to run unleashed on the beach before and after "regular beach hours". Apparently someone's dog killed a nesting Piping Plover, a protected species and refused to own up to it. As a result the some federal wildlife protection agency sued the town for a six figure sum and the town council instituted a new law requiring all dogs on public property to be leashed at all times that then resulted in further backlash from the dog owners. A bit of "dog wars" you could say.

At least the farmer took his Border Collie for long walks twice a day and then took him out for sheep rounding up.<br />We have a lot of dog-walkers on our Lane, I suspect mostly because - being a country lane - they don't feel they have to clean up the poo.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-78934497032754510612014-04-05T07:29:10.025+01:002014-04-05T07:29:10.025+01:00I have friends whose next door neighbours recently...I have friends whose next door neighbours recently bought (or were given) a beautiful Border Collie puppy. It has been chained-up since day 1. Luckily my friends take it for walks, but I suspect that its owner thinks they're nuts.Cro Magnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06840670227576695352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-36319442144501498922014-04-05T07:17:56.711+01:002014-04-05T07:17:56.711+01:00The 24-hour chained dog is not uncommon here, make...The 24-hour chained dog is not uncommon here, makes me spit tacks. Unfortunately it is not considered neglect and is not illegal.
