Dozens of residents of Xàbia and playgrounds users complain that there are, daily, stray dogs, along with their masters in the areas of children. Parents do not understand that pet owners do not respect the rules. "It is totally forbidden to enter dogs in the park and more loose. The owners ignore the regulations", He explained one parent.
According to neighbors, every day "We have to call the attention of the owners to leave the children's area, when he should already know that entry is prohibited there". "I can understand that the dog has to run or play, but for that, I should do it in another area or if there are no children", They expressed those affected.
The mother of a child told us that after two dogs attacked her daughter, but was not regret any harm, it was proposed call the police every time I saw that the owner breached the rules. And, according to local police, that's what people should do.
From the Local Police Xàbia tell us receiving several calls from citizens denouncing this fact, they act immediately, approach to the area and warn the owner, "but also, on several occasions when we arrive there is no longer the owner", and add some agents say that there are situations in which "It has come to have to sanction".
Likewise, the Local Police carries out several surveillance services to control this fact, although if the users of the playgrounds or any neighbor needs more surveillance, they can request it in writing at the OAC (Citizen Service Office).
Regarding the legislation, it records that dogs must be conducted by individuals and on a leash, except in areas bounded pet that will be in the parks (Pipi-can). They must travel on the boulevard, without disturbing users and avoid approaching the playground, penetrate the lawns or gardens. The rules state that will be dog owners who must care for their pets do their business in the right places and collecting droppings later.
