Bring back dog poo bags and bin access in South Hobart

Because certain Hobart City Councillors have bended to the unproven needs of the South Hobart Football Club. Their statements have included that dog faeces are regularly contaminating the ground (not proven and also native animal faeces is the common target for accuse). They have accused dogs as being a menace to the children (not true as the benefits of human-animal interaction is proven to be beneficial in multiple ways that outweigh any negatives and many a photo has been taken of dogs and kids interacting happily on the ground). They claim a dog did something nasty to someone once on the field. (Never reported to Council), no one knows the details). I wish for dogs to be a part of our community in accessible ways. They bring so much joy and deserve places to be doggy. Tas needs to get up to date with the rest of Australia and the world. Please stop the 1890's view of dogs being either dingos or working dogs that could only live outside. Please look at the stats on what these furry children mean to their carers! Keep their play- grounds and respect they can collaborate perfectly well!

Sadly we have an increased number of dog walkers walking the streets of South Hobart as a result of the ban on dogs on the South Hobart Recreation Ground. Why would Council remove dog poo bins and bags for people wanting to do the right thing and pick up?

Sporting codes should not be able to ban people from public land
