Please remember, dog people, when it's breeding season (Spring/Summer), there are nesting birds and other wildlife hidden away in the grass, under rocks, behind trees etc.
Letting your dog run off-lead through meadows etc is highly disruptive to breeding animals and can kill them. You might not see or realise.
Please leash/lead your dog in open and wild spaces. Run with them, stay on trails and pathways as much as possible
Please.
@noodlemaz Every person I've met who lets their dog off a leash while walking in public doesn't GAF about anything or anyone. "Fluffy" (or "Terminator") is just _curious_... seemingly about the insides living things.
Still worth a try saying it here, though. 👍🏻
@jumile yeah... I know. They think all the signs asking them to keep their dog leashed don't apply to them. I see it around farms (yep your dog can hurt livestock too!), nature reserves, beaches, including where there are big boards explaining the rare breeding birds etc.
Pisses me tf off. I don't understand the mentality of it. People think their dog having some quick sprints is more important than the wildlife..? And they call themselves 'outdoorsy' 🙄
Always grateful to see the people actually... Doing it.
Dogs, mostly, I love. People, not so much.
