He argued dog owners with fewer dogs were often less able to control them.

“Two Labradors came over that were totally out of control, whereas we noticed in the corner of the field there was a man on his own with about 25 beagles. Those beagles did not move.”

For everyone saying this seems random/odd/pointless/in response to some Karen etc:

February 2023: Dog walker mauled to death by dogs at Surrey beauty spot

The dog walker, from Croydon, died after suffering massive blood loss caused by multiple bites to the neck in Gravelly Hill, Caterham, on January 12, while she was out with eight dogs.

Which I suspect may have some bearing on this announcement.

That was Surrey. This is North Somerset.

Ah, I forgot that councillors don’t read newspapers. There’s no way a councillor in North Somerset could have been aware of this attack in Surrey, as reported in the national papers.

Did anyone actually read the article:

“The ban - which covers all spaces in North Somerset open to the public”.

I live in South Somerset (Yeovil) but since the county went even more bizarre and decided to amalgamate into some mad centralised Somerset County thingie instead of the old Somerset regions. who knows what this ruling even means?

@mex@feddit.co.uk - fix the title to note coverage only applies to North Somerset (whatever that is). It’s shitty to imply something that doesn’t apply to the vast majority of a county, let alone the country.

The title is the title from the BBC I am not editorialising it.

It’s from a BBC local site, which is entitled to assume that readers know which section they’re in. You need to add context or it just becomes misleading clickbait.
