SWANSEA DOG BAN
WE NEED TO RID OURSELVES OF THIS COUNCILLOR
SWANSEA COUNCILLOR IOAN RICHARD WANTS DOGS BANNED
ENSURE HE IS NOT ELECTED – NEXT TIME
USE THE POWER OF YOUR VOTE = PEOPLE POWER
Dangerous dogs could be banned from council-owned homes in Swansea, if a councillor gets his way.
Mawr councillor Ioan Richard wants the county to follow the lead of Dublin City Council and ban 10 breeds of dog from council-owned property.
Councillor Richard raised the possibility with the council’s legal team and was told that it would be impossible to do under current legislation.
However, Councillor Richard is still keen to see a change and says the Assembly should act.
He said: “We regularly hear about young children being savaged by these types of dogs like pit bulls.
“People do not really need to keep these types of dog and I think this policy is something that should be seriously considered.
“I have been told by the council’s legal team that we cannot do it. But the Assembly now has powers to make secondary legislation and I think they should start to use them.
“They should be looking at doing the small things first and things that can make a real difference to the people of Wales.”
Dogs banned in Dublin include: English Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Pit Bull Terrier, Rottweiler, German Shepherd (Alsatian), Doberman, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Japanese Akita, Bull Mastiff, Japanese Tosa and Bandog.
Cross-breeds of these dogs or crosses of these dogs with any other breed
are also banned.
