      It’s true. Bad owners leads to inadequate training which leads to misbehaved and dangerous dogs.

    2. Should be allowed to do u-turn there, plenty of space for a car to turn

    3. Reasonable-Spinach88 on

      True, you are liable under the control of dogs act for any damage your dog does.

    4. Fleuretta_ on

      What’s to discuss, if you’re not in control of your dog then of course you’re at fault…

      It’s like the dogs of Ireland have chipped in and funded a PR campaign LMFAO.

    6. Negative-Message-447 on

      I mean regardless of what anyone thinks, that’s the legal reality of the situation

    7. Dreenar18 on

      Yes, our laws regarding animals are shite in general but regardless, you shouldn’t own any animal you can’t control.

    8. StupidTwat5 on

      Yea pretty much, your dog should be on a leash if outdoors and people shouldn’t be buying dangerous dog breeds.

      We have a serious dog problem in our cities. Owners allowing dogs off leads with impunity. Absolutely indignant if challenged on it. Like their dog is a human child that no one should be scared off and everyone should welcome randomly roaming around.

      Obviously. Dogs don’t have the brains to take responsibility. I don’t think there’s much discussion, we just need to drive it into shit dog-owners heads.

      have 3 dogs at over 60 kilos each, they roughhouse with me and i wouldnt let them around kids or the elderly because they are a lot.

      yes i agree with this a 100%

    12. Yolomasta420 on

      Unless a kid jumps your garden and gets attacked then I completely agree with this statement.

    13. Cuan_Dor on

      The only fault I can find with it is “It’s Yours” needs to be in big massive print to drive home the message.

      Otherwise, good on them for saying this.

    14. Schroevendraaier on

      Following this logic, who will need to be put down?

    15. slykethephoxenix on

      Agree to an extent, the only exception I can think of is like self defense; if the kid suddenly slaps the dog and the dog snaps back, that’s on the kid.

      If your dog is aggressive, you should at least muzzle it when out in an area where an innocent kid could come running up to it and the dog preceives the kid as a threat.

      Bad owners = undisciplined dogs.

      Undisciplined dogs = accidents.

      Undisciplined dogs off leash = very bad accidents.

      The sign is correct. Your dog. Your responsibility. ‘It’s yours’ should be larger and in bold.

    17. Both. Alot of bad owners love to buy the biggest and most uncontrollable dogs as a status symbol.

      It’s usually the pit bull owners too

    18. EoinFitzsimons on

      I think it’s both, and if it’s an inherently aggressive breed it should be removed from the public

    19. firethetorpedoes1 on

      Personally, I would have gone for the rolled-up sleeve look, but overall I think it the outfit works. 8/10

    20. ConradMcduck on

      Dog owner here. What’s to discuss? The sign is accurate.

    21. fileanaithnid on

      I’d say true 99.99999 of the time. I think a genuinely bad dog is extremely uncommon, as in a dog that just plain out came out bad and even with good owners can’t be corrected. They’re exceedingly rare, it’s usually the owner. But even if you have a bad dog, it is still your dog..so yeah this strikes me as common sense, unless someone was like provoking your dog but even in that situation you should be there to correct it

    22. Prestigious-Side-286 on

      100% correct. It’s the owners responsibility to have their dog on a lead or in some cases a harness and muzzled if necessary in public

    23. UtterlyOtterly on

      No discussion needed, it’s the truth. A dog needs to be on lead outside and not outside alone. All animal attacks on kids are the owners fault.

    24. errlloyd on

      The messaging here isn’t strong enough imo. As everyone in this thread agrees, it is the owners fault.

      But what are we trying to achieve in society? Like drunk driving we need to be aiming for a world where good dog behaviour is socially enforced. Having a poorly trained dog that appears dangerous should be something that people call you out on. “Good friends don’t let drunk friends drive” was one of the more effective messages.

      Let’s start intervening earlier. A problem dog isn’t a problem when it harms a child, a problem dog is a problem when it *can* harm a child.

    25. ruthemook on

      Sorry- discuss? You are responsible for your animal. If you cannot keep it controlled it is entirely your fault. How is this a debate?

    26. firethetorpedoes1 on

      >*Tonight we’re Super Talking about evil dogs. We’ve all seen them in those undesirable areas. Donald from Hemsby has e-mailed us to say, ‘dangerous dogs should simply have their teeth replaced with strips of rubber’. I think that’s an excellent idea. I’m going to make him our e-mail of the evening*.
