"Steaming piles of abandoned dog poo littering our parks and boisterous dogs off the lead everywhere - it's a certain cohort of lazy and selfish dog owners that give them all a bad name."
"In the past week, I've gone for more walks than I probably have in the last few, rain-soaked months, and it reminded me of several things - our landscape is breathtakingly beautiful, being in nature is truly restorative and I hate dogs."
"As a fair-weather walker, I'd forgotten just how much the ever-increasing contingent of furrier walkers impacts on my own engagement with our woodlands and coastal walks."
Abandoned dog waste and uncontrolled dogs in parks create a negative experience for other visitors. The beauty of nature is overshadowed by the behavior of irresponsible dog owners. Enjoying outdoor spaces becomes challenging due to the presence of these dogs, especially for those who prefer quieter environments. The contrast between the joy of being outdoors and the frustration caused by dogs highlights the need for responsible pet ownership.
