Dog ownership and Dublin City Council

dublin | rights, freedoms and repression | event notice Monday August 18, 2008 09:35 by J - on behalf of Deed Not Breed Dublin

Protest Thursday September 4th @ 1pm

Dublin City Council are trying to implement a ban on restricted breeds being owned by council tenants, this is discrimination at its very least and it is an infringement on your human rights, responsible dog owners and council tenants are being treated as second class citizens in yet another example of Ireland's two-tier Society.

PEACEFUL PROTEST DUBLIN 04TH SEPT 1PM

Just because some people can't afford to buy their home does not make council tenants irresponsible or incapable of controlling and owning a dog regardless of breed,
Council tenants have till September 30th to neuter and microchip their dogs or face eviction.

There has been no change in legislation and there has been no bylaws passed
This is just intimidation and bullying by Dublin City Council and if we lie down and accept this what will be next???

We must remind our councillors we have a very important election coming up in 2009 and if any council parties are supporting discrimination in turning council tenants into second class citizens we can fix this next year in the election!

we all need to stand together, this also effects where we can walk our dogs most of the parks and roads are owned by the council, how are we suppose to socialize our dogs, these dogs are not illegal in this country but it is being made impossible to own one ,

This is just the first step up the ladder for a nation wide ban , if DCC get away with this other councils will follow.

Deed NOT Breed Dublin is a group of volunteers who will be organising a peaceful protest outside Dublin City Council building Fishamble Street On Thursday September 4th @ 1pm
