Pets, Public Spaces and the Law: Where Does Responsibility Begin?

Dion, Carrie here from the Crest.

So my biggest thing, and we have this in our neighborhood, it's disgusting.

People can't walk on the pavements.

on the sidewalks because other people go walk their dogs and they poo and they don't pick it up.

So the sidewalk is a super duper dangerous place to be when on foot.

So I feel if you're taking your pets out for walks, be responsible.

Take a poop bag with and pick up your dog leftovers.

Nobody else wants to stand in them and it's not right for somebody else to have to pick up your dog's feces.

Hi, it's

Russell here.

I think as a dog owner, the dog should be always under your control.

Keep your dogs on a leash.

Just because your dog's friendly doesn't mean my dog is friendly.

I work at a vet.

We see all the injuries from dog fights from people who don't keep their dogs on leashes and don't keep their dogs restrained.

Not every dog is friendly, and that is okay.

But please keep your dog on a leash, and people should ask before approaching.

If you want to say hi to the dog, ask the owner, is your dog friendly? Just basic etiquette and safety.

Yeah, and I agree with that one because I've seen at parks where people just let their dogs loose in a park and then just run around walking.

Kids playing, dogs playing, everything playing, and then you don't know what can happen.

You really don't know how other dogs are going to react, no matter how friendly you think it is.

But, yeah, great shares.

Now, with all this being said, I feel we need to speak to someone in the legal field, and we got somebody.
