Call for DOG-free areas in Wales to tackle racism
 

The recommendation has been put to the Welsh government in a report
responding to its anti-racism action plan.

Wales is 94% white

There are calls for "dog-free areas" to be introduced in Wales as part of the Welsh government's anti-racism action plan.

The plan, which has now been extended to include environmental factors
such as climate change and rural affairs, was first launched in June 2022.

The Welsh government sought the views of stakeholders including Climate
Cymru BAME, which compiled the report.

The study by the climate action group was carried out with Welsh
government funding.

It includes contributions from minority ethnic people who live in the North
Wales region, students and professionals in the environmental sector.

Contributors to the study noted barriers including a lack of green spaces in
their local area.

One of the report's recommendations to the government is to create
allotments and "dog-free areas" in local green spaces.

Andrew RT Davies, leader of the Welsh Conservatives - the largest opposition
party in the Senedd - has called it "outdated virtue-signalling nonsense".

He said it is "completely out of touch with the needs of the people of Wales".

"Labour is stuck on yesterday's thinking, the kind that is being roundly
rejected globally," he added.

A Welsh government spokesperson said it is "committed to creating an anti-
racist nation by 2030".

No.

Let the Dogs walk there grounds

Why is it racist to allow dogs?

I am none the wiser

maybe its just black dogs?

A few non-whites on walks
have made a Complaint


Ref: Times Radio

What? I don’t understand the story :joker:

Just one day
a few complaints


That is all it takes

“including a lack of green spaces in
their local area.”

-looks out the window-

No Aggressive dogs

But I don’t understand how dog free areas is tackling racism. It makes no sense. :laugh:

Well me and Adolph, my new puppy are still going to visit and walk there

Could be a few Rough Lads
with dogs

Then a few non-white people


No Camares there
of course

No it was Big Dogs

Maybe the Lads did not control them,


Not Nice little dogs



Ref: Times Radio AM

Me neither :laugh:

Who wants aggressive dogs roaming about?

Yeah but banning dogs won’t combat racism. The rough lads can still go there. :laugh:

The story makes no sense and has been poorly explained by whichever useless journalist has reported it.

Many Young lads own them

Even in Eire

Barriers to outdoor activities includes the perception that growing food in gardens or
allotments is an activity “dominated by middle-aged white women”.

Racist allotments

It was all over the news

Even the sad bbc

It's just a load of gibberish.

The thing is, I agree with dog-free areas. I just don’t get the correlation to how having more is helping combat racism, and nobody reporting it seems able to explain it. :laugh:

Black Labs Matter

Of Course some places in Wales

Yeah, but again nobody has explained how it’s helping combat racism. :laugh:

No Official Complaints

It makes no sense - dogs have nothing to do with racism.

I can guarantee whoever came up with this BS has blue or pink hair

Posted back in July. Could this be a reason?

I still don’t see a correlation to help combat racism though.

I don't know how these people think I was just scrabbling around looking for a reason.

Me, I prefer dogs to a wide range of humans.

Why don’t you know? You’re the one that usually has the answers. :fist:

But yes, I also prefer dogs to many humans.

I could make something up for you?

You'd love.my dog, he's a handsome beast. And totally bossed by my cat.

Great Song

I love when dogs are bossed around by cats. Always makes me chuckle.

Yes it could be connected to this
now Worm Hole
"type" story

I'm just as confused as you are on this one.:laugh:

Poor Mizuho Lin having to be compared to whoever has logic that has spawned this thread.:bawling:

This is what comes from internet echo chambers

...this is a weird story :laugh:

Climate Cymru BAME consists of around 20 members made up of students and professionals who have interest in environmental preservation and protection, who work with North Wales Africa Society (NWAS), Sub Sahara Advisory Board (SSAP) and the Northwest Wales Climate Action Group.

A separate set of recommendations submitted by the NWAS also called for 'dog-free areas'.

It said that during one of its focus groups, 'one black African female stated that she feels unsafe with the presence of dogs'.

Others also kept 'seeing dog fouling on the floor', the report added.
