[Margaret Pilkington]

Responsible dog owners will always do the right thing...clean up their dog mess, walk their dog on the lead in public places, ensure their dog is under control.
Irresponsible owners will not do these things and whatever laws are passed will be unenforcible.
The Dangerous Dogs Act has been on the statute books for 20 years...has it made a lot of difference?

Dogs in themselves are not bad...it is the owners who are bad.
I can see many elderly folk having to get rid of their animals because they won't be able to afford the extra expense.
