Thank you so much Guy Hull for lifting the lid on the behaviour of dog owners, particularly in Suffolk Park. Everything Guy describes, I have also witnessed, including abuse, pretended naivety or ignorance of the rules and the delusion that anybody who objects to ‘my sweet little doggy’ running around without a lead and harassing other dogs or people is being unreasonable and therefore needs to be told where to go.
I have also witnessed two free roaming dogs chase a coastal wallaby in the Suffolk Reserve onto the beach and harass the wallaby and keep chasing the wallaby into the surf until the wallaby drowned from exhaustion.
If it needs to be spelt out, then here it is: we in Suffolk Park live in a community where some believe that self-entitlement rules all, and nobody is going to tell them what to do with their dog.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
