Dogs are man's best friend

How to respond to idiot lefties who are saying “ban dog ownership”? I really don’t know where to begin. These are the same people that think people should be given more benefits to encourage them to go back to work. They’re the people who think you shouldn’t send a Somali who shot a police woman back to Somalia because Somalia is a “dangerous” country. They’re the people that think multi-culturalism means that English people should be ashamed of our history and our identity.

 

The sad fact is that you cannot, and SHOULD NOT WANT TO, wrap people up in cotton wool. Our society is becoming like the world of i-Robot. If you’ve read the book or seen the film, the robots work out that in order to protect humanity, all humans should actually be locked up for their own safety. All this legislation put forward by the labour government is having the same effect. Whether it be smoking, driving, food additives etc, taxation and punishment are sticks that hit our national identity rather than carrots that make us celebrate it. Dogs have been a fundamental part of human existence for thousands of years – particularly in Britain. Some are dangerous, and some, sensible, controls are necessary. But because of a teeny tiny minority you shouldn’t penalise the whole. The benefits of dog ownership are huge, both for adults and children. Quite apart from the loyal protection dogs have been shown to offer family children, the learning and bonding that dogs offer to children help them to integrate and socialise better as they grow up.

 

I have always suspected that after hunting; fishing and dog ownership would be next on the lefties’ agenda. Mark my words. I am the silent majority. I will take no more. The line is drawn in the sand and you would have to take my dog from my cold dead hands, having fought to the death. It’s a fight you can not win and would be foolish to start.
