Should dogs be banned from parks?

There are thousands of pet dogs in Britain today, and clearing up after them costs local councils money. This fact, and some well-

publicised attacks by dogs on children, have led to calls for dogs to be banned from parks.

Everyone at some time or other has experienced the unpleasantness of finding dog mess on their shoes. Yet it could be argued dog mess

is not simply annoying: direct contact with it can also lead to an eye disease (toxocariasis) resulting in blindness. However, dog lovers

point out that this mess is biodegradable, whereas the mess and rubbish left behind by humans in parks and on the streets is not. Cans,

plastic bottles and polystyrene packaging cost enormous sums of money to dispose of, and will pollute the planet for thousands of years.

Toxocariasis is an extremely rare disease which can be avoided by following basic hygiene rules. Most dog owners clear up after their

pets if bins are provided.

Critics of dogs often claim that they are unpredictable and dangerous, and therefore should not be allowed in parks because of the risks

to children. On the contrary, most dogs are friendly and sociable, particularly those whose owners take them out regularly. Attacks by

dogs usually only arise when a dog is defending its territory. For example, in one serious incident it emerged that the injured boy had

climbed into the pub yard which the dog was guarding.

Although dogs can sometimes be a nuisance and, very rarely, dangerous, they do less damage to our environment than lazy people who

drop litter. Walking a dog is a cheap and easy way for many people to stay fit. Moreover, Parks Police admit that dog walkers, by being

out at all hours and by often not sticking to the main paths, perform a valuable service in deterring would-be criminals from using our

parks.
