The reality of Fenton's everywhere. We all like a laugh and a joke. I get why some might find this funny. Having seen wildlife attacked by out of control, off lead dogs, I don't. No flannel or silly music, just reality. Out of control dogs kill and maim other pets including dogs, and wildlife too. The reality isn't funny. It may be hard to watch, but these images can be found in one search on the net. One irresponsible owner and his dog has become a craze and justified by over a million people. People have done spoofs, how long before others copy this irresponsible owner, or think this is acceptable? I'm concerned about the dogs, owners, wildlife and people. Some things are beyond a joke.
Moments like these happen all the time. I don't blame the dogs at all. Some dog owners think it is acceptable, it isn't. The joy of many soon turns to frustration and anger, and all because of someone's choice to own a dog and not train it or keep it under control. I love all animals, including dogs. I don't like to see dogs put in danger either, which they are every time they are off lead and not under proper control.

@YodasLeftEar Yes I know, in Scotland, and Ospreys in the south passing through during migration, but they aren't pets, they kill to survive, that's not a choice. On the flip side, I could say that when people are escaping the spiralling pit of despair by having a walk and enjoying wildlife, the likes of Fenton's owner ruin it for them. A few weeks ago I was stood with a large group of people watching an Otter. The wildlife and smiles all round didn't last when an out of control dog appeared.

Point taken! You just seem to waving your banner when all anybodies trying to do is have a laugh when the rest of the world seems to be spiraling into a pit of despair. And there are Wolves in Scotland all be it in reserves being studied prior to a possible reintroduction, and we've got Golden Eagles, Ospreys (or Fish Eagles), and White-Tailed Eagles in the UK. Sorry!

Sorry, I take your point and appreciate your opinion. Domesticated dogs are PETS. Here is something that might confuse you, as it does many owners of dogs, there are laws and responsibilities. Out of control, off lead dogs DO kill and maim. Simple as. Owing a dog is a right that comes with responsibility. If I were to show a video of the dog I saw attacking a swan, I wonder if I would get such a negative response from you or anyone? We don't have either wolves or Eagles in the UK by the way.

There always somebody who has to drag everybody down when they're just trying to have a laugh!! Yes we know that dogs kill and maim other animals, so do cats, so do foxes, so do wolfs, so do eagles. Thats the way the world is, animals kill other animals!! Maybe all pets and animals should be muzzled at all times, then would be able to go back to having a laugh? Or have all got to be manic depressives all the time? Good God man cheer up!!
