Britain beastly to travelling dog owners

Good. We have enough British dogs ****ting on the pavements and barking at
unsocial hours.

Many people are put off booking accomodation in places which welcome pets -
something this survey no doubt ignored.

And "many people" should probably not travel at all!

Like people with dogs?

I've noticed at most caravan/chalet/lodge type parks we've been to where dogs
have been allowed, dogs are only allowed in the cheaper accomodations. Implying
there is a premium for accomodation which doesn't allow dogs, rather than
accomodation which does.

Dogs spread ticks, fleas, and ringworm. They can leave this vermin behind
in furniture, carpets, etc.

You tell us. What nasty surprise may await me if I move into a holiday
apartment/hotel room etc several hours after a human has departed from it and
the maids have cleaned it?

French dogs are much better behaved than children.

I have never seen a French child crapping in the street.

Maybe I've not been to the right parts of France.

Do you want names and addresses? Or can we just take it as read that
depositing piles of vile smelling bacteria-laden material where people
of all ages, eyesight etc go is a Bad Thing?

You can get all sorts of diseases from excrement - from any animal (particularly
carnivores) or human.

In addition, dog**** can carry a worm which can, and does, cause permanent
damage to eyesight.

So don't rub it on your skin and only eat it on special occasions.

Sage words - but how shall we convince small children of your wisdom?

Small children bounce if they're made well enough.

Who ever caught a disease in a public place from a dog turd?
Rather a lot:
http://www.patient.co.uk/showd oc/40000480/
http://www.cdfound.to.it/HTML/ dir3.htm
According to this:
http://www.scielo.br/scielo.ph p?pid=3DS0036-46652003000500010& script=
=3Dsc...
an annual infection rate of 17.9% for one area of Brazil.
That last link doesn't work for me,

The full citation goes like this:

ANARUMA FILHO, Francisco, CHIEFFI, Pedro Paulo, CORREA, Carlos Roberto

Campinas, State

and in the others I can't find anything to do with the number of people g=
otten sick from
doggy doo in a public place.

The illness is toxocariasis (which often takes the form of worms eating
children's retinas) and the commonest way it's transmitted is from
puppy **** in playgrounds.

Vegemite?
