cc - Letter to Crimestoppers
This morning, Friday 24th November 2006, whilst walking my children to school across the Crow Lane Green Space, in Henbury, Bristol, at around 10.30 am my children and I saw a rottweiler off the leash. Its owner was clearly not in control of it.
No emergency came of this. We saw it quite a way off, stopped, and backed off. I took a photo of the dog off the leash, but did not save it on my phone. I took another (the dog was now on the leash) but it is so low res as to be pretty useless. The lady owner of the dog, walked away and eventually drove off in a yellow sports car, parked near the bus stop along from the row of shops. She was slim, and had short blond/fair hair.
Following other incidents locally I find this highly worrying, and worth reporting, but not as an emergency. I have very recently had contact with PC G-L (Avonmouth Constabulary) about another dog attack in the area.
I would very much like to see some kind of proactive policing in the Crow Lane Green Space area, to get people to control they're dogs better, and reduce the risk to children and adult alike.
Paper Tiger, Genuine Poo
It pales in comparison to my other dog related issue, but it doesn't go away...not even with the rain sometimes.
Dog feces (shit) is present along the pavements, on the green, and by the park fence.
I'm speaking in general, and of Henbury in particular.
Dog owners don't care, in general, about picking it up, unless they think they will get caught. I wouldn't want to pick up dog shit, in fact its one of the main reasons we don't currently have a dog. I don't want to have to chose between picking it up every time, and getting my kids to take responsibility.
Ask yourself this: If humans started defecating in the streets, regularly, how long would it be before there was a major outcry, and police investigation?
And how is human feces really different from the canine variety?
Laws without enforcement are paper tigers.

Lately we've made a pyramid/geometry animation, an alien, some pretty cool pictures too:
