Im not 100% on that one. I know the term "under control" is batted around a lot, but the definition of this is VERY unclear.

Roz, I totally understand your feelings on the matter, and it was parents and young children I was concerned about when I wrote to the parks people.

Brian, I think you will find that a lot of content of dog food would be deemed "unfit for human consumption" so its not really robbing humans of their grub

There does however need to be better control over these people who want a dog but really cant be bothered looking after it properly or controlling them.
