at least the majority of dog owners are responsible. unlike cat-owners, whom just let little felix out all day to crap everywhere, and kill the low-nesting birds!!!
if i let my dog do this, i would be fined for having a dog out of control & poaching!!!
a cat is classed as feral if its more than 30 meters (i think??) away from its owners property. Feral, this cat is then trated as a pest species.
and mark my words, if i see any of them trespassing in my garden, they'll be leaving in a bag.
