Ruff justice?
The iPM Listeners' Opinion Poll competition has gone to the dogs, partly. We've a number of entries about the control of canines.
"Should we consider the re-introduction of the Dog Licence?"
"Should dogs in a public space be muzzled?"
We've also heard from another listener who has been hounded (sorry) from her local park by an unruly dog and its irresponsible owner. She took the case to the police, but they failed to follow up on any leads (I'll stop).
The government is currently looking at how are being used, and hopes to encourage police and local authorities to tackle the issue with greater vigour. Northern Ireland has retained the dog licence.
