Recent campaigns have targeted dog urine on walls, leaving many dog owners feeling unfairly criticised. Some residents argue that avoiding streets and parks entirely is impossible for responsible pet owners. The tension between maintaining clean public areas and accommodating dog-walking habits has become a focal point in Blankenberge.
So, where can dogs still go without causing conflict? And how can both residents and dog owners coexist peacefully in this popular seaside town? The following fast answer sheds light on the current situation.
Is there a solution that respects both dog owners and residents? The controversy highlights several key points:
- Campaigns against dog urine have led to feelings of attack among dog owners.
