Minister: Dog rule breakers should be 'social pariahs'

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has said anyone who owns a dangerous dog breed but does not use a lead or a muzzle should be"seen as a social pariah".Speaking in Farmleigh where he and Minister of State Pippa Hackett announced record funding for animal welfare groups, he said better awareness and enforcement of dog laws will be among the things the review he is leading will look at.

It is understood that a number of ministers and departments have various responsibilities in the control dogs. The minister also said that the number of dog wardens varies between local authorities with"different arrangements in place"and this is something he will be assessing and working with other ministers to try improve that.

Minister Humphreys said people need to control their dogs and be aware of the dangers of particular breeds.

Minister for Agriculture Charlie McConalogue has said any politician who is not wearing a lead or a muzzle should be 'seen as a social pariah'.

Dogs reflect the traits of the owner.... if your a violent person that mistreats their dog.... that dog will be violent.... SHOCK

The dogs laughing their taws off at Charlie McChuckagligh know it will never happen

Iv never seen a dangerous dog (pet) only dangerous owners that mistreat and train them poorly. The piriahs should be human that Mis handled the animal.

Not good enough

The entire atrocious levels of cruelty to animals in Ireland need to be addressed. There is no enforcement of the animal welfare act & no accountability.

And any TD who is happy to sell farmers and fishermen down the river should be eeen as a traitor, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

How come that old shitebag of a retired Garda in Roscommon got away with it?

No enforcement is the problem.

Dangerous dog breeds should be banned altogether.

I suspect that may already be the case…

Why not string them up by the balls when you're at it.
