Alec, when I was young, many many years ago, stray dogs were taken to the police. I know this because someone dumped a Whippet through our shed window when I was a teenager, and dad made me catch a bus and hand the dog in to the police. I was gutted...
Locally, there are several groups of travellers. I understand that they are given £10 a week extra benefits if they own a dog. Don't know if this is still the case? Local people hated seeing the travellers coming in to town to collect the benefits, so arrangements were made for the payments to be made at their campsites. Who paid for this?? The same people who pay for the benefits in the first place, the working public out of their taxes.
I guess that many services have to be paid for this way, we don't get a choice. This morning, someone has dumped their old washing machine on the edge of the forest. Personally, if I had the facilities, I would check for finger prints, trace if possible, any serial number, and find the flipping culprit and make him pay all expenses incurred.
My dad used to have a saying about certain criminals, 'put them up against a wall and shoot them'. The older I get, the more I agree with him...it's a wicked world at times.
By the way, watching Dangerous Dogs upset me so much, I chose to switch it off. I did watch Louis Therouix last night, and that was negative and positive in equal measures...
