Most of these so called pet lovers cannot clean up after their dogs on the pavements so why would I want them on the beaches

many more deaths will occur when pensioners and dog lovers take their loved ones to these forgotten, inaccessible so called beaches which could be death traps for them and their pets. It is absurd. Pet lovers have not received any concessions whatsoever, just lip service and nothing else.
