Being able to walk off-lead in bushland reserves makes Clarence special
With regard to the claim that wildlife is at risk in bushland reserves from dogs walking off-lead, every day I see road-kill on my way to one of my walks. But when I asked the council if it was possible to put signage up at the beginning of a new sub development warning drivers of a common wildlife crossing, I was told there were restrictions preventing it. So another wallaby is skittled on our road every couple of months. But I have never seen any evidence of a wallaby killed by a dog in the bush.
So please, leave the rules as they are, so citizens can enjoy the beaches and the bush with their, mostly, well behaved dogs. There is nothing as joyful as a free and bounding dog.
