I personally dont like being at the cemetery when dogs are around.

I do think its disrespectful on the lead or off.

A couple of years ago when I pressed for red dog bins near me, I found that the Environmental Health team and the dog warden responded quickly, and began monitoring the problem, eventually getting two bins installed.

Dogs off leash will be a dog warden's problem I expect.
There is a different dog warden now. I don't know whether he is as good as the last one.

Think thats a good idea neil thanks for passing that on , it just seemed wrong for these owners to be letting their dogs trog around off the lead . I forgot to mention that one couple had come in a car to let the dogs have the run of the cemetery,couldnt believe that when i saw them. They were old enough to know better too, or so you would think.

I know a gentleman who has very strong views on this subject. He believes that each and every time people are prosecuted for dog fouling (and I am sure he would have a strong view on this as well) that they should be named in the local paper to discourage other dog owners. His feelings as to why this does not happen is because no one is ever successfully prosecuted/fined for it.

( I hope he does not read this or he will be sat with a smug grin on his face next time I see him

)

Last time I heard the figures he was not very far off the mark.

The council is strapped for cash so why not take some off irresponsible dog owners and clean up the borough at the same time. Sound like a win win situation no one would disagree with except those fined for fouling/breach of the dog order I linked to above.

If the warden had an outpost looking through my kitchen window the prosecution rate in Hyndburn would increase, some people think the grassed areas around our flats a specified dog toilets

I didn't even know this practice was going on. It is an insult of the highest order.

Anyone caught taking their dogs into a cemetary should be made to eat them, as they do in China (or at least they did, before the politically correct, animal loving brigade got involved).

Here's some piccys:

I think is totally dispectful to allow dogs to roam freely in cemetries cocking their legs where they want. when we go to visit my in laws grave in Clitheroe Cemetry I always leave my dog in the car.

I think the issue about dogs in cemeteries has to be tempered with common sense, dogs are a comfort especially in times of bereavement. If a dog is on a lead and cleaned up after then no harm is done. if you want to rant about something, rant at the vandals that push over headstones, people in cars that park on the grass, the people who use cemeteries as a short cut and throw cans and other rubbish about. the vanishing amount of land left to bury the dead, and the rising cost of dying.

must go and sit in a darkened room now, got all hot and bothered ranting
