Has the world gone mad? Many say with all the safety provisions and warnings in place that we are living in something called a ‘nanny state’. But has it gone too far now that it’s being extended to animals? Seems a bit crazy to me and I am open-minded! I can only imagine the outrage of other less broadminded people when they get to hear this! Being told to steer our dogs clear from all the fun things they normally encounter while out on their ‘walkies’ will most likely have pet owners up in arms!
According to the article “Walkies on a short lead for ‘Nanny State’ dogs!” there is good reason why we are being told to watch out for our dogs. Every year about twenty five thousand claims are being made on our pet insurance and out of this a huge proportion to do with injuries originating on dog walks!
In order to avoid incidences of our dogs getting hurt or ill while on their walks we are being encouraged to keep them on a tighter rein. By not playing “catch” with sticks that could splinter and preventing them from diving into algae ridden ponds are life saving measures we could all take into consideration.
