gerdesj,

Did anyone actually read the article:

“The ban - which covers all spaces in North Somerset open to the public”.

I live in South Somerset (Yeovil) but since the county went even more bizarre and decided to amalgamate into some mad centralised Somerset County thingie instead of the old Somerset regions. who knows what this ruling even means?

@mex - fix the title to note coverage only applies to North Somerset (whatever that is). It’s shitty to imply something that doesn’t apply to the vast majority of a county, let alone the country.

The title is the title from the BBC I am not editorialising it.

JoBo,

It’s from a BBC local site, which is entitled to assume that readers know which section they’re in. You need to add context or it just becomes misleading clickbait.

merridew,

For everyone saying this seems random/odd/pointless/in response to some Karen etc:

February 2023: Dog walker mauled to death by dogs at Surrey beauty spot

The dog walker, from Croydon, died after suffering massive blood loss caused by multiple bites to the neck in Gravelly Hill, Caterham, on January 12, while she was out with eight dogs.

lbc.co.uk/…/first-pictures-of-natasha-johnston-do…

Which I suspect may have some bearing on this announcement.

JoBo,

That was Surrey. This is North Somerset.

merridew,

Ah, I forgot that councillors don’t read newspapers. There’s no way a councillor in North Somerset could have been aware of this attack in Surrey, as reported in the national papers.

Flax_vert,

What breed

merridew,
Flax_vert,

Thought it would be a chihuahua 😱

ymhr,

Yet still nothing about Bully XL…

CryptoRoberto,

The assholes who raise vicious bad dogs will just move onto another breed. You can’t legislate being a good dog owner.

Flax_vert,

Just keep banning the dangerous breeds

aport,

Maybe they’ll move to raising bad pugs and nobody will get mauled to death anymore?

Rayspekt,

I'm sorry officah, I just happen to have my hands full with too many bitches. I just can't help it, officah.

TWeaK,

He argued dog owners with fewer dogs were often less able to control them.

“Two Labradors came over that were totally out of control, whereas we noticed in the corner of the field there was a man on his own with about 25 beagles. Those beagles did not move.”

Chariotwheel,

Can we do something about the man dragging 25 dead beagles through a field?

RobotToaster,

That’s a lot of beagles.

Those beagles did not move.

Beagles were bred to trail animals.

Labrador retrievers were bred to go after birds that get shot out of the sky.

You have a bunch of balloonists land what's basically the world's biggest bird in a field and the Labradors go bonkers and the beagles don't care.

I feel like all parties involved probably acted about as one might expect.

flamingmongoose,

This just seems random

TheLurker,

TL:DR

Law totally not in response to Council Woman Karen’s shithead poodle who she lets run around the streets without a lead trying to attack a group of 7 dogs being walked together and having its dumb fluffy fucking arse handed to it.

Trust us we asked Karen’s friends and they all agreed more than 6 dogs being walked together is the problem.

tony,

What an odd ban. Do they have any evidence that commercial dog walkers (as those with lots of dogs are likely to be) are responsible for the increase?

They likely must have some statistics. But if I had to do an uneducated guess, I would guess it’s also due to poorly socialized dogs from lockdown time. Not that it’s mutually exclusive.
