We have a large wetland nature reserve in Bude, important for ground-nesting birds. Next to it is the rugby club's ground. Both areas are plagued by loose dogs (which are not allowed, but, in spite of signs everywhere, are routinely to be seen). The bushes next to the adjoining bike path are frequently festooned with those little scrotums of dogshit. Dog ownership, especially among the more elderly, is rife around here, so outrage is hard to come across. Allow me to express just a little of it here.
