Acting through his owner, Airdale/Pug cross Rumbletum Flatulance 111, contacted VB today to protest the latest attack – spearheaded by Ventnor Town Council – on what they term ‘dog mess’ on the pavements of Ventnor.
“People need to remember we were here first,” Rumbletum pointed out.
“Long before these streets existed our ancestors roamed – and dumped our excess-freely, over what were once fields and ditches and public muddy patches.
“Since then we have endured – largely without protest – having to tow human beings behind us wherever we go, to being dragged away from interesting sniffy places, to not being given sufficient time either to greet friends in an appropriate manner or to leave messages against the man-made artificial trees that now replace real ones everywhere we go.
“But now, to top it all, we are to be forbidden to register our route to any coming behind. Yet cats -those ridiculous things with no apparent use to man or beast continue to dump wherever and whenever they decide.
“I appeal to you – is that right? Is that just? Hounds of the world unite.Rise up for the right to squat down.Don’t let them dump on our dumps!”
