点评:PLEASE ENFORCE THE DOG-ON-LEAD RULE
We would genuinely love to visit the Hellfire Club, but as someone with a real fear of dogs, reports of owners routinely allowing their dogs off lead have completely put me off going until the rules are properly enforced.
Public and heritage spaces should be places that everyone can enjoy and feel safe in. Dog owners do not have a greater entitlement to these spaces than children, people who are frightened of dogs, elderly visitors, or anyone else simply trying to enjoy a peaceful walk.
It doesn't matter how friendly or well-behaved you believe your dog is. Someone approaching you doesn't know your dog, and a person with a genuine fear cannot simply switch that fear off because they're told, “Don't worry, he's friendly.”
If the rules state that dogs must be kept on a lead, please keep your dog on a lead. It's such a simple thing to do and allows everyone to enjoy the area.
We really hope the dog-on-lead requirement is properly enforced, because until then I simply wouldn't feel comfortable visiting. Responsible dog ownership means considering the wellbeing of other people as well as your dog.
翻译:请严格执行遛狗必须牵绳的规定
我们真心希望能去地狱火俱乐部游玩,但作为一个非常害怕狗的人,听说那里的狗主人经常任由狗狗脱离牵引绳,这让我在相关规定得到切实执行之前完全打消了去的念头。
公共空间及文化遗产场所理应是所有人都能安心享受的地方。养狗人士并不比儿童、怕狗的人以及老年游客更有权使用这些空间。或者任何只是想安心散步的人。
无论你认为自己的狗有多友好、多听话都无关紧要。靠近你的人并不认识你的狗,而真正害怕的人也不可能因为别人说一句“别担心,它很温顺”就立刻消除恐惧。
如果规定要求狗狗必须拴上牵引绳,那就请务必拴好。这件小事做起来很简单,也能让所有人都能愉快地享受这片区域。我们真心希望牵狗绳的规定能够得到切实执行,因为在此之前我实在没有勇气去那里。负责任的养狗方式意味着要兼顾其他人的福祉以及自家狗狗的健康。
