If you think it's bad here, go and see what it is like in an average town in Essex.
There are people out there with dogs on chains usually found along park flower borders. They fit the comedy stereotype in all but one thing. They are not funny. Too many, male and female are feral, thuggish, nasty, outwardly aggressive and their dogs are an organic equivalent of a baseball bat or a firearm.
They are not 'pets', they are status weapons masquerading as a pet.
Some keep them  for 'security' others for protection but they must only be people who have something to fear or hide.

It is not too good here either and several dog owning neighbours have made representations as they are the most likely to have the misfortune of contact with some of these people. Some are OK but the incidents of poor dog handling when often the dog is better behaved than it's charge is worrying.

It should never have got to this stage and should have been nipped in the bud.
local authorities do have powers to come down on this but as usual, someone makes it a 'political' issue and the merry-go-round starts. Common sense always seems to be the first thing to fly off it.

We end up all paying the price as the only solution ends up being hidden cameras, and surveillance tactics. No enforcers will take on matters face to face and they do not get the full support and back up of either the Police or their masters.

If anyone doubts the magnitude of the problem in a small or medium park then take some kids  or a standard pet dog for a while and see how you feel.
Relaxed? calm? refreshed? I'll bet not.
