Dogs on beaches
Sir, — Are the dog bn the beach complainers aware that beaches are recycled each tide? This unfortunately does not happen to the river and sea pollution contributed to by commerce which is gradually poisoning the sea to a point of no return. As I. G. Spence pointed out about uncontrolled dogs, the solution is registration of owners rather than dogs. Until this happens overbreeding is inevitable and dog suffering the result. I suggest that the vocal complainers write to their members of Parliament or Government Ministers for action at the source of the problem; ownership. They will certainly have the support of those dedicated few dog lovers who dedicate their lives to finding new owners for condemned dogs before they are disposed of and dispatched from the City .'Dog Shelter to the blood and bone bins. — Yours, etc.. J. SHARP. February 15, 1983.
