| I understand that almost any scheme effectively taxes responsible owners and, being on a comparatively low income myself, I am loath to advocate something that would add to the financial burden. However, we urgently need to do something and there is no way of evading the issue that the dog warden scheme needs effective funding and resources, not least to police existing legislation or that many owners, not necessarily with ill intention, are poorly informed about their responsibilities as owners. If we policed DCOs effectively for instance, the fines could be hypothecated and used to subsidise the scheme. It wouldn't raise a huge amount but it would be a start. |
