Peckham Park

[soniala]

My rant for the day:

Just back from the park and its lovely out there , lots of people taking advantage of the sunshine and nice weather so why do some people who own dogs ignore the signs " dogs must be kept on a short lead"

Just seen so many people especially a couple with 2 black labadors who were letting their dogs run free in a fenced off area, splashing in the nice japanese garden water feature , running all over the beautiful plants , ruining them !!!!

End of rant!!!

Signs seem to make no difference, whether it is park or cemetery. I have lost count of the times where I've witnessed dogs run up to my father's grave and proceed to p... on it, whilst the owner stands by and watches and, then, has the cheek to get into an argument with me about how they've been walking their dogs in Camberwell Old Cemetery for I don't know how many years, without having them on a lead! So much for Signs.(!)

To continue rant...wish dog owners would respect dog free areas, keep their dogs on a lead where asked, and clean up after them. Especially the latter. I know not all dog owners are so unthinking, but it must be a sizeable minority judging by the amount of dog crap carpeting every green space. I don't think dogs should be allowed in cemetaries at all.

Agree with everything you say, >:D

I don't know any dog owners who don't ensure that their dogs are cleaned up after. I would never dream of walking my doglet without my au pair and a small collection of plastic bags.

Perhaps the people who are not cleaning up after their dogs can't afford au pairs as it is Peckham?
