NO DOGS, NO BARKING

I note with interest the outcry over barking dogs.

Perhaps Clare Martin should implement a zero-tolerance policy on this
issue

Although most dog owners are responsible, loving, law-abiding citizens
and provide more than adequate care for their pets, it seems there
will always be an anti-social minority who abuse dogs.

The Government and police are always crowing about the success of
their war on drugs.

If the Government believes that prohibition is so successful when it
comes to drugs, why not prohibit dogs and put an end to barking once
and for all?

And, for that matter, why not prohibit cane toads and alcohol while we
are at it?
