"Collection Fee" for stray dog

victoriav

Here is some legislation regarding dog wardens and on page 19 'specifications for the provision of dog warden and environmental enforcement services' under 'scope of service' page 19 it says they must return it to the owner in 1.1 and in 2.4, so I would think if they can drive it away then they must also drive it back. But they are not doing.

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....
I can take it, I just choose to ignore those who have nothing constructive, factual or interesting to say. Your ignorance, intolerance and apparent need to resort to petty and pathetic insults only go to prove that you fall well outside this category.

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:
Actually, I'm pretty well endowed with brain cells. I got them from my rather intelligent parents and used them to gain an education. Next time you are in town, perhaps you should nip into the pound shop and pick yourself some up. Then you might qualify as a moron.

Quote "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. yes..thats interesting, so a 'responsible' dog owner should be able to walk along a route and determine which poo's were done by his dog then, at what time etc...maybe using a special dog poo DNA kit from 'ronco' perhaps:rotfl:jeezus jonnie...!!!
The issue with the dog turd is that, whilst his dog wandered the streets, it may well have crapped. Dog crap carries some extremely nasty bacteria which can cause serious health problems, not to mention possibility of people stepping in it. Whose responsibility is it to clean the crap up? Obviously you think that it is the mystery (see below) burglar's job and would absolve the OP of all responsibility. Would it be the same if the dog bit someone whilst out?
Quote "However, my dog would be kept securely in my yard or, when I go out, in my house. Until a burglar let it out....
READ THE OP's ORIGINAL POST.
The OP suggests that he 'THINKS' that someone may, whilst walking down the alley behind his house, have clambered over the fence with the intent to burglarise the property because the conservatory door was open. NOBODY saw any burglar. There was, as far as the OP has stated, no actual evidence that the burglar even existed.
The OP refuses to consider any other explanation regarding the opening of the gate eg. blowing open in high winds, not latched properly etc. It must have been a burglar because it can not possibly be the OP's responsibility.

With regards to being a dog lover.
My life was saved by a dog when I was thirteen years old. He remained my constant companion for fifteen years before he passed away quietly in his sleep. So I suggest you see the doctor about your knob, although I fear the infection has already spread to your brain.

well bowdengr37 - thank god you have ignored me then....whilst using your superior intelligence of course:D

On the other hand perhaps I am starting to grow on you then....

I feel you have nothing useful to input into this post.

I feel you have some kind of issue with dog poo. Did the one which 'saved your life' poo on you in his line of duty perhaps?...you say he saved your life but of course we only have your word for that...after alll why would you feel it necessary to use the services of a dog when you had put your own life in danger as your own safety is obviously your own responsibility isn't it...

I'm afraid you are a firm believer in your own bulls hit.

Just to show I bear no grudges, here's a hanky to wipe that nasty brown off your tongue...:rotfl:Goodnight!

You didn't buy a padlock for a start.

And paid twenty pounds for a collar....I mean, twenty pounds for a collar that can be bought for a fiver.

where can you buy collars that cost £20 for a fiver then flyboy?

£20 represents a good quality collar that wouldn't snap when for example dog being dragged/forcibly moved/ hoiked into waiting van etc... by a warden or other such person, and also the fitments would not be prone to snapping off, bending, breaking ie. it wouldn't be a lightweight one which they could claim would have broken or fallen off because it was not strong, or indeed mysteriously disappear of course - infact - exactly like what occured...


and peachyprice - obviously then in order to to stop burglars all that is needed is a simple padlock, which of course won't be able to be smashed off or anything will it....

Petsdirect? Petsathome? Or a hundred other places. Even £5 would be quite a lot for a straightforward practically unbreakable dog collar. £10 could get you a Wag’n’Walk designer collar blinged up with diamante. For £20 I'd expect a few actual real diamonds.

I wouldn't want a collar that doesn't snap when put under that sort of pressure, I've heard of too many dogs who've got caught on things and died a horrible death

Nobody is saying it couldn't be smashed off, only that it makes the task a little more onerous and conspicuous than just opening an unlocked gate!

I hope this thread gets closed soon, it really is ludicrous.

Hi,
About 6 weeks ago our dog "escaped" from our back garden while we were both at work.

May be someone got fed up with all the barking. Video cameras in homes when the dogs are left alone show high levels of stress in the dogs, which the owners never see. They only see rapturous welcome-homes from relieved dogs.

A dog roaming the streets is a potential menace to traffic, horses, other dogs, and children so thank heaven for wardens. If wardens are on some sort of bonus system then it can only keep the streets free of pack dogs. More power to them.

If the dog was a a happy one then they would have high tailed it home once free. But being shut up alone all day in a garden just wasn't enough for it; although you thought it was just dandy.
