"Collection Fee" for stray dog

I really dont see the problem. The dog was straying why or how it was straying they are not going to know. The dogcwarden picked the dogvup so you have to pay for the service. You can argue your theories of this imaginary break in but the basic fact is your dog was straying and you have to pay for the work involved.

Yes, I'm happy to pay for the service... what im NOT happy is about is that the dog was unnecessarily forced to go to a kennel for the night and we were charged for it. I'm also not happy about the fact that her collar has vanished into thin air.

okay okay, I admit it, I opened the gate (it was secure for a dog, not for a human), I took the dog, and fancied the collar to stick on my Mrs. during our bondage sessions. I decided not to keep the dog though as it didn't take to peanut butter in the way I had hoped.

Feel free to sue me for your costs and inconvenience, as long as it will stop the utter nonsense and vitriol which is being spouted in this thread.

We've already been over this, obviously you haven't bothered reading any of the posts in this thread, so I won't bother replying to your specific comments in this one.

suprise or surprise?

Wow, you're like the kids on Youtube, flaming someone because they made the odd typo "at least i can spell", "speak english innit" etc..

Grow up and don't bother commenting here again, you're input is useless.

OP, I hope you don't leave this dog alone every day whilst you're both out at work. It was kind of you to take it in and try to find a home for it, but you should continue to try and find her a home. Dogs shouldn't be left alone all day, whether they are allowed access to the garden or not. They need company.

My own dog is a basket case partly because his first two owners left him alone all day.

So only retied people and jobless benefit scroungers are allowed jobs? I work on call for long periods at a time, which means that most of the time someone is here, maybe for 6-7 days a month the dog is by herself during the day.

Even when we are here she enjoys sleeping on her couch in the conservatory most of the day, so I don;t think she misses the company that much!

Waag,

Did you see the intruder who couldn't be bothered to break in? Did you? who mentioned he couldn't be bothered to break in then? I don't believe it was waag was it...??
Did you see the collar being removed, either by the warden or the vet?Probably nobody from the council will admit to witnessing it being removed as like this, no collar = can be fined for no collar can't it - thus generating money and giving the council a chance to prove how 'useful' a service they run...clearly somebody knows don't they...?the collar hasn't disappeared into thin air has it...?
Have you personally inspected the gate to ensure that it is adequate and was locked at the time the OP left the house? Had you? ooh perhaps pete thought 'hmm I know, I'll leave the gate deliberately open and then come on here and pretend I'd shut it.'..
Have you interviewed the neighbours, to check that this dog doesn't regularly get out during the day?Have you? you'd like that though would't you...clearly though it isn't the case is it...
Could you please point me to the specific paragraph of ANY council training manual for dog wardens where it says that they must try to exploit people? No they don't need a manual, as they don't follow any rules,they do what they like, and then see who fights back, knowing most people feebly accept it...the more vulnerable the person the more easier a target the better, as they are a law unto themselves, there are many anti council websites if you look, where it is highlighed time and time again, planning departments for instance...
Could you, perhaps, explain the legal position of the warden although these people are given powers to deal with things they know nothing about, I don't think playing judge and jury is one power they possess or pretend to possess although certainly some do have exagerrated ideas of their own importance, .... if, having released dog straight back to the owner, he is confronted by someone who is trying to identify the dog which bit his little girl when the owner denies that it was ever stray and couldn't, therefore, have been the offending dog? That is a hypothetical question, which by definition is unanswerable.
Was the owner going to tour the district picking up all the dog turds, because there was a good chance that his stray dog may have laid one of them? what has this posting got to do with dog poo's?

Perhaps Waag thinks that fining dog owners when their mutts crap on the pavements and they refuse to pick it up is actually victimisation? what has this posting got to do with dog poo's?

Perhaps it's all a conspiracy? Get off the shallow dog-haters bandwagon, pop to the pound shop see if they have any brain cells

Perhaps the dog wardens are trained on grassy knolls?

Ha ha , you can choose to be as detached from reality as you like but I would DEFINITELY agree with waaaag on this one.

No, I didn't see the supposed intruder, exam the gate, questioned the neighbours etc, which is why I can not definitively state that the OP is blameless for his dog getting out. Unless you have done these things, you can't be certain either.
How many times do people actually admit that they MAY have been responsible for something. As far as I remember, the OP didn't, nor did Waag.

Regarding the manual, if there is no instruction to the wardens, how can it be such a conspiracy? And complaints about council planning departments are hardly relevant to dog wardens are they?

Hypothetical question? I'm afraid not !
Perhaps it is a question based upon a hypothesis, which are answered millions of times every day by everybody, albeit mainly subconciously.
eg. What might happen if I put my hand in the fire? I'd get burned, therefore I wont do it.

Regarding dog poo:
If a dog leaves a turd on the pavement, in a public place etc, it is the owners responsibility to collect it and dispose of it safely. Therefore, whilst this dog was 'out', if it had crapped on the footpath, the owner would be liable to collect it or be faced with a fine (usually £50ish). Or is it OK to leave turds laying around just because the dog got loose (by whatever means) and crapped all over.

Regarding the dog-hating bandwagon, I am actually a dog lover. I am currently looking for a dog. However, my dog would be kept securely in my yard or, when I go out, in my house.

If my dog ever manages to get out of the house/garden and ends up roaming the street, I will take responsibility and pay the fine, without moaning, because it is MY DOG, therefore MY RESPONSIBILITY.

As for going to the pound shop to buy some brain cells, I'll give it a miss thanks. Judging by where you obviously choose to 'purchase' your common sense, I'm not surprised by your need to slip, degenerately, into insult.

Please feel free to ignore my posts. I, sure as hell, will be ignoring your's in the future.

Just a simple question for the OP.

What sort of dog is it?

A stray daschund is a bit less scary than a stray pit bull terrier.

Oh deary me bodengr37..

Quote "I'm going to ignore you"...That is just so funny. If you can't take it, don't give it.....You clearly don't like dogs and bring totally random irrelevant stupidities into the discussion, (have you ever seen 'roger irrelevant' out of viz I wonder) , he's cuckoo....if you are a dog lover, then my k n o b is a bloater....

Quote "As for going to the pound shop to buy some brain cells, I'll give it a miss thanks." Hmm, you've managed quite well without them so far haven't you...:rotfl:

Read about this act of perjury by belfast city council dog wardens.

http://ctechwebhosting.co.uk/savelennox/wordpress/?p=1005

If it hasn't been updated or belfast city council have blocked the truth coming out there is another link on the page.

Don't anybody tell me that councils aren't corrupt...
