Dogs on beaches. Why?

[Chickensarmpit]

Today i took my 3 young kids to the beach for a rare day out.
It was ruined by dogs!
They shit all over the place, one pissed up my icebox and one bloody stole my sons ball.
We moved twice and eventually gave up and went home

Why do people insist on taking dogs with them? Grrr annoyed!

Loving the snooty attitudes from those that happen to live near beaches towards those that dare to visit them

Because beaches are for everyone to enjoy.

Although I completely agree that shit dog owners shouldn't be allowed.

We no longer have a dog but when we did we would never let him do the things described in your OP.

Disgusting.

Go to a beach that doesn't allow dogs. Easy.

If you think your local beach should be dog free, talk to the council.

I have no problems with dogs on beaches as long as they are cleaned up after. One owner on a Lewis beach this week though it acceptable to leave a dog poo next to my kids sand castle!!!!

People on the beach - why?? If you can answer that - you can probably answer why there are dogs on the beach. Doesn't actually take a genius. If you can't answer that, you probably need help. HTH.

Really? £1000?

I pick up my dog's shit. Every time. Even when it's liquid, in nettles/brambles/long grass, when it's invisible I go by smell and I scrabble at it with a poop bag. I really try hard. My dog even shits right next to the bin, he's that bright.

I pick up random turds if there's any nearby. I might as well, how can I say, this shit, but not that?

I am not paying £1000. I do my time, and I'm not sure how it would be possible to differentiate between me and any other lackadaisical dog owner.

£1000 for dog shit?

Can we start charging for horse shit that can be left wherever the horse feels like shitting then?

That's much bigger.

[Alisvolatpropiis]

I obviously don't mean in fields.

Why do people own dogs, full stop?
