don't these people have anything else to do?

I'm sorry, officer, my dog was responding to malicious squirreling.

Does not agree

that's like trying to say your dog is vegetarian.

The same people that think you can tell dogs not to chase squirrels are the same people that think telling kids to abstain from sex works.

common sense...they have none

Hau Ruck: Does not agree

SQUIRREL!

Here to provoke...

Dang! Gotta refresh more often.

/or get a faster squirrel

FTA: "she hoped common sense would guide how the bylaw gets enforced."

FAIL

I don't care what country you're in, common sense never applies to the enforcement of laws. Laws are enforced to the letter unless they inconvenience someone in power (or with money).

These morons forget that dogs do what they want, and as owners you can and do train them. But that is all it is, training. You can't take all the dog out of a dogs life. Heck the squirrels in my house are as safe as any others. My dog loves to chase them, but he doesn't have a chance.

So, once convicted, how does the dog pay the fine or do the time? As a matter of fact how do they read and understand the law?

I suppose it's now up to the dog owner to make it impossible for their unprovoked dog to attack any backyard wildlife. Perhaps a 3 foot chain or cement boots would do the job.

Small town politics. the joke's on you.

I find it amazing how certain people will go so far out of their way to demonstrate how completely inept they are at life itself. What? If we just speak plain and slow English our dogs will understand what not to do? Why does it seem that when school boards and local governments get together the cumulative average room IQ drops into the negative?

Oh good lord - like a squirrel is in any danger from my dog! He actually managed to trap one last year. The squirrel played dead, and the dog kept nosing it, wanting to play (like it was a cat). We worried at first when we got a kitten that our dog would think it was a hissy squirrel with a big fluffy tail, but apparently squirrels are fun cats, with lots of play value, but a bit less hissy.

/What a stupid bylaw.

I'm sorry, you lost me there...Could you use smaller words?

There is a poll on that article asking if you support these by-laws. 37% voted yes. In other news: Apparently stupidity spreads via news reports of idiotic politicians at a rate of 37% of the population.

Weaver95: missmarsha: don't these people have anything else to do?

There is a certain type of people that believe that by writing regulations, they can change the fundamental nature of the universe. we call these people 'insane' and generally speaking we put them into therapy. However, some communties prefer to have them where everyone can keep an eye on them, and elect them to public office instead.

At least simians have fecal matter to fling.

That's so funny. Obviously, you are supposed to explain it to your dog. I'd love to see that conversation.

"Rover, buddy, here are the things you have to do to stay out of prison. You know what happens to dogs in prison, don't you? Can you say buttsex? Say it boy, say it! Buttsex!"

They should just the bob dogs legs like they do the tails

Dogs don't need legs anyway

Trik: They should just the bob dogs legs like they do the tails

You accidentally the whole sentence.

If my dog licks his junk is he gonna get busted?

dorje: If my dog licks his junk is he gonna get busted?

Only if there is not sufficient provocation.

try telling that to my Greyhound, she was trained to chase small furry things

I came for Dug. I am leaving satisfied, and I love you, subby.

/SQUIRREL!

//POINT!

Our dogs think of them as Red-headed Tree Devils. Squirrels deliberately perch on low branches then stare and growl to taunt the dogs. It's more entertaining than anything on cable. We've eaten some squirrel back in he day- by the time you take the head & tail off, there isn't much left. They do make a fine gravy, though.

missmarsha: don't these people have anything else to do?

According to Wiki, it's mostly retirees that live there, so no, they don't.

I purpose to you, any disease a rat could spread, a squirrel could equally carry. Yet I assume you don't share the same animosity with squirrels that you do with rats, do you?

Yet, they are both rodents, are they not? They even rather look alike, don't they, except for the tail?


/hot like Shosanna's theater

Watched that recently. Good reference.

Ah. Essentially folks waiting for ol'Grim to get time off from Africa and the Middle East.

I always thought that it was a benefit to having a dog that he'd chase and kill vermin.

The best at it was the beagle. He went blind in his old age and still managed to catch and kill birds.

Do they sentence the perpetrators in human years or dog years?

Time to call for back-up

Odd how adding a furry tail makes a rat somehow cute to some people.

common sense...they have none

Coun. Ann Kershaw said the clause "without provocation" was key, and I am an idiot that she hoped common sense would guide how the bylaw gets enforced...

FTFH

That is without doubt the stupidest thing I have seen in a long time. The only thing stupider is the idiots who elected these dolts in the first place. They deserve to have this kind of law on the books.

Fark you biatch!

/Provocation limited to female dogs in this case.
