I’ve just finished reading version two of clowncil’s Domestic Animal Strategy. Looks like the woeful first effort has hit the dust and clowncil has actually been shamed into toning down its language and adopting a more conciliatory tone. They have also corrected some basic errors that were in the original version such as including staffies as ‘declared breeds’. The problem with such corrections is that they should never have happened in the first place! All these amendments reveal is total incompetency to begin with and an anti-dog stance that is not only discriminatory but without logic, rationale, and commonsense.

So now we have version two! Sadly, the same errors and incompetence still exist. Performance indicators are not matched with action plans; vets, doggy groups and other ‘expert’ groups have been excluded from having any input. The ‘new’ action plan is basically a repeat of the ineptitude of the original version. All that has happened is that pet owners are now made to feel all fluffy and warm with the sickening gush of platitudes and cliches that is meant to constitute substance and real vision.

If a leopard does not change its spots, or is even prepared to really listen to what a community wants, then it simply must go. It must be eradicated. Roll on November - and to the election of councillors who have courage and integrity.
