Dear Sir.
As this lovely hot weather stirs the soul to get out and about,my wife and I decided to spend a leisurely morning strolling round Hardwick Park. Being in a relaxed mood I didn’t even mind paying the recently introduced car parking charges (well not too much anyway).
But as we started our walk,we were appalled and disgusted at the amount of canine excretion on the footpaths.
So what was to be a relaxing stroll around the park absorbing the magnificent views and enjoying the fauna and flora, turned out to be like a scene from an old war movie picking our way through a minefield,or an episode from the Krypton Factor from which I’ve seen less demanding challenges.
Judging by the imprints of trainer soles in the aforemention matter, quite a few people would have failed in both instances.
I was so incensed by this,that I was thinking of forming an action group naming it CANINE, Campaign Against Negligence Involving Neglected Excrement.
But before I get inundated with replies from responsible dog owners of which the vast majority of you are, unfortunately your reputation is being sullied by the minority. Talk about – giving a dog a bad name!
