Slightly pissed off

[cheshirecat]

Wanting to tour south island on our bikes and becoming pissed of by the fact our dog is 'person non grata' in All the national parks And DOC campsites And most other campsites.
The National Trust in in England has a somewhat different approach where the main concern seems to be the wellfare of the dogs should they get lost or chased by farm animals.

Plus you can't take them in central Welly, on the buses or trains. Rant over

Welcome to the land of cotton wool and political assfuckery.

Smells good, too.

Sorry mate but a fact of life here,dogs are dogs and Kiwi dogs are tough hardworking bastards with no time for such things as holidays,heres mine,typically hard at work.:bash:

[Babelfish]

Its not cool man, dogs should be more appreciated....I love them with a good sweet n sour sauce, and with curry rice they're divine!

You cruel bastard, Mike... you're over-working that poor dog.....

[ynot slow]

Only if doc catch ya.When 3 of us did Matemateonga walkway(wanganui river trip)years ago a mate took his labrador,first day it went running and having fun,chased the odd goat,rabbit and almost tried pig finding.That night after a feed we kept him inside incase he wondered off,woke up to hear snoring,was the bloody dog,the owner found a piece of rope and tied him outside.Then the next 3 nights we had no dog to blame the snoring.

[98tls]

You cruel bastard, Mike... you're over-working that poor dog..... Yea aint i mate,heading dog be fucked,at the time it seemed a cruel twist of fate but an injury meant that the bastard could spend the rest of his life heading straight for the couch.:pinch:

The black and white cat still running the show there, mate?

[LBD]

A little known point....where a main road travels through a National park, the road is on a road reserve and is not part of the park. Not sure of the actual width of the reserve, but I think it was in the order of 60 m either side of the road...you would need to check.

The upshot of this is, if you are camping on road reserve NP rules do not apply. Even if the DOC managed camp site is on road reserve.

The only exception is local council bylaws in certain areas.

What ever you chose to do, keeping the dog under control in the park areas would make sense....

[98tls]

The black and white cat still running the show there, mate? Yea mate,evil fucking thing it is.:bash:Lickin its lips after taking a swipe at someone no doubt.:crazy:

Just put your best Ray Charles glasses on pretend you don't see anyone on the street and walk that doggy right onto the bus!

Seriously though I didn't realise you aren't supposed to take your dog into the CBD - better tell my workmates who insist I bring our pup in almost every Friday :eek:

[Pussy]

Yea mate,evil fucking thing it is.:bash:Lickin its lips after taking a swipe at someone no doubt.:crazy:

That cat looks like it needs to learn how to relax....

[Maha]

Yea mate,evil fucking thing it is.:bash:Lickin its lips after taking a swipe at someone no doubt.:crazy:

Ohhhhhhh how cute, Pussy had a hard night?

[Mully]

I see the logic in banning dogs. Much of our native wildlife evolved with no predators, so can't fly or escape dogs and the "c" in DOC is for conservation.

Plus you never know the dog - if they let your nice dog in, they have to let all dogs in.

Always causing trouble those Pussies eh? :D


Especially those ones on Gixxer750's....

Wow....clever dog.

I'm just guessing but that would have to be the only dog flying a top dressing plane in NZ wouldn't it? :whistle:

You are once again forgetting that I know where you live, and that the plane has a 48 cubic foot hopper....

Note to self... find lots of unsavoury stuff to go in to hopper for ejecting on sundry flight home.... at chez cs363

[hospitalfood]

well being a south islander born and bread, i never pay any attention to the rules myself and i do as i please. always have and probably always will.

however, i would not hesitate to shoot a bad dog and would possibly shoot a bad dog owner if i had a good chance of getting away with it.

i walk dogs off leads in cities, but only dogs that are trained and behave well. and only breads i like ( not the tough ones )

take your dog, don't let it eat wildlife.

unless it does not come, heal and stay, in which case you are a bad owner and should know better.

[Number One]

COOL! Bastardised cats you say....HERE

[Babelfish]

All in all its the same old same old, the land spoiled by the few and the meek have inherited the earth. To those people sensible enough to have dogs that have been raised correctly, the rules seems unfair. To those usless ignorant bastards that allow the dogs (this could read "kids") to do whatever the fuck they like...well they're ignorant, so wouldnt't know whether its all unfair or not. :angry:

Same goes for beaches. One of the best places for letting the dogs loose. But let some twat out there that hasnt taught their dogs a few right and wrongs and bingo, the signs go up. :sick:

This model also allows the door open for the knee jerk pack of limp wristed gay lords that wince at whatever stimulus has been mildly suggested to them by the latest womens weekly, forcing them to dial 111 (actually these tossers probably dial 911) and scream emergency. :angry2:

...hang on, did someone say pussy? :drool:

Yep, that's our whole nanny state in a nutshell isn't it? You could just as easily be describing social welfare, or road rules with that....

Anyway, yes...someone did mention pussy.... :drool: :yes:

I'm not trying to be a smarty-pants but why (oh, why) would you tour with a pet? Leave it behind, set yourself free.

[Babelfish]

...which makes it most satisfying when telling said nanny's to fuck off...although in honesty, I havent needed to do this often. Most times people see that you're not one of the walking dead and leave you to it, dogs'n'all. The ones that do have an issue usually dont have an answer to the "fuck off" response :crazy:

[98tls]

I'm not trying to be a smarty-pants but why (oh, why) would you tour with a pet? Leave it behind, set yourself free. Funny you say that,an earlier post made me think why the fuck would anyone that lived in a city own a dog,stay there if you must but dont condemn a dog,set it free.:pinch:

[Mikkel]

Welcome to the land of cotton wool and political assfuckery.

Smells good, too.

Indeed, fuck those silly birds... if they forgot how to fly they deserve to be eaten by all those cute imported pets!

Jokes aside, mountain bikes (much less motorised ones) aren't welcome in national parks either... not even if they don't eat the local wildlife.

Yeah, exactly. I have a brother who did the whole hippy thing down in Golden bay, bought land, got a dog, raised animals for food etc. Then he moved to Orks (go figure) and lived in an apartment. Fine.

BUT!

He goes and gets himself another dog, ffs, and here's this so-called 'lover of all things free' with this poor, god-forsaken mutt in a concrete jungle.

Some people just need rooting.

I also have the ability to entertain myself but that's not what life's about, eh?

Did I say that out loud?

[Edbear]

My daughter and son-in-law got a Papillion x Sydney Silky and have the same problem. He's a wee little house dog but she exercises him every day. There are some motels and backpacker places that will allow pets but not too many.

[ynot slow]

Suspect most stray dogs on DOC land could be both lost pig dogs or strays abandoned/lost.The pig dogs might leave kiwis alone(at first) as they're taught to target pigs,not rabbits,birds,goats.But if hungry who knows,most domestic strays would probably hunt/eat anything.

Then DOC and henchmen/kaftan wearing twats discover a rare type of plant growing in a block of land,so we can't camp there.DOC do a pretty good job at times,1080 drops not one of them.

Hey now that's useful. I'll check on it, cheers

[crazyhorse]

Better than being pissed on :laugh:

[frogfeaturesFZR]

Used to take my previous German Shepherd deer stalking with me. Nowwhen you hunt on DOC land you need to have your dog 'avian aversion' trained. Costs $120 from memory...
( Won't chase birds ) Problem is I live in Auk's, and the nearest trainer is
Napier. And you need a refresher cert each year. Pain in the ass. I can understand why DOC wants it, but your average pigdog that gets lost or wanders onto DOC land ain't gonna be aversion trained, anyway I'll just keep taking the Prozac and I'm sure it'll all be ok........

Bein' an admirer of both dogs & native birds, while I understand your frustration I also understand that DOC doesn't want pooches eating, maiming and killing our native birds which is why they're banned!

In an ideal world all dogs owners would be responsible and considerate when it comes to managing their beloved canines and we'd be able to take them everywhere but because of the people out there who don't give a shit (i.e. leaving their dogs excrement all over public places...don't get me started!) we all have to abide by the ban. I agree it sucks but I also really like Kiwi and don't want them bein' munched.


Plus you can't take them in central Welly, on the buses or trains. Rant over.
It would be great if they had a dog section in the buses and trains in Welli eh! I often think of the trains especially it would be awesome!

Yeah, He's cute alright! I'm babysitting him this weekend as my daughter is away on a girl's weekend with her sister and my wife. The son-in-law has gone to Aus for a week to visit his Mum, so I'm "stuck" with him, sigh.. such a chore... NOT! :niceone:

[Gareth51]

There was also a time when a dog didn't have to go outside to injoy a smoke

[puddytat]

It could be worse...I know of quite alot of dogs that rarely get out of thier cage or off the chain...all are owned by hunters or farmers:Oi::oi-grr:

[Gareth51]

He also enjoyed a bit of Beethoven as well

[mctshirt]

and only breads i like ( not the tough ones )


I like breads too but not scones but they might not count cause they don't have yeast.

Vogels is my favorite but Molenberg is good and white bread is fine if that's all there is.

Homemade bread is yummy.

Toast is cooked bread.

Does dog taste like chicken?

:wavey:

You can see the National Trust guidlines here (http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-visits-walks/w-visits-essential_info-dogs-2.htm)
Albiet this is England where we prefer dogs to children.
Many of the hotels have dog menus etc
