Law / Laws on walking a dog in Polska [67]

A modern day Robin Hood you are Dougpol1, hanging out in the forest with your merry group of non conformists. I guess you cite all things "Thatcher" as your reason for leaving the UK, :-)

Nah - married a Polish woman. I wouldn't be seen dead with an ugly Brit :)

warszawski

I was right! You are a merchant banker Warsawski! I am an expert at assessing people! :)) But I wonder what you do for a living - we can only conjecture.

That's all very interesting Slawek - I would have thought the law can be interpreted as:

Dogs are not allowed to be taken into the forest for non licensed hunting purposes - aka - they are hunting breeds and trained as such.

Dogs must not be encouraged or permitted to freely hunt aggressively as their breed inclines them to do.

Both the above are obvious to anybody with half a brain-lobe.

I do not include some bint in this who has gone shopping in the Klif in Sopot and decided to go walking in the forest in 3,000 zlotys of sports wear. That's her choice - but she can't complain when a sociable lab puppy plants his grubby paws on her legs when she approaches us when we are playing catch and retrieve.

If foresters went around will-nilly shooting old ladies' dauchshounds for going down fox holes or young city boys' Spaniels for plunging into forest lakes full of (non-existent) wildlife then we would have social civil war on our hands.

The report you post is useful, but the public need some CLEAR direction as to the law - posted at the edge of the forest - and then cows like this woman I met can know that they don't own the forest by spouting rightfully outmoded law and threatening my dog with gas.

Thank you ;))

Yes, but try telling that to the Kings and Queens of England. Wasn't it that BBC documentary series on the dynasties that brought the publics' attention to the fact that the nobilty in the Middle Ages were dying in their thirties through liver failure, through eating too much game?

I wish the same on those viilagers I mentioned, who think nothing of trapping these beasts, over-bred pests though they be. (the villagers and the deer)

It's too late Harry - the dog is stuffed and mounted, and I suggest that Peterweg goes and gets the same :)

I don't think he suffered much, and I can always look at him up there behind the fire. It's not all bad. Thank you Peterweg for helping me to see the light!

So I decided to stuff and mount my dog to avoid having to meet any more gas wielding nutters :))

Photo to come to satisfy Peterweg - and hopefully he will call the internet police off. Peterweg, I'm sorry!
