As someone who is bringing their dog to PP in a couple of weeks, I wish them every success, this has been dragging on for too long.

[Sparky]

Tonsyl i am not sure if you have been following this thread but please do be aware that your dog will have to be muzzled if you take it on the beach or you could be fined.

I am afraid catching this sorry excuse for a human being is proving to be much easier said than done .

[Tonsyl]

Thanks for the warning Sparky and your comments re the guilty party. You can be sure that until there has been a resolution to this situation, Katie will be staying the road side of the beach wall !

Have seen some photos posted on FB and it looks like there was a good turnout.

It's to be hoped the authorities take note of local feelings and step up their actions. Well done to the organiser/s for getting the meeting off the ground.

[Sparky]

I really don't think it is fair to have a go at the authorities, they are as horrified as everyone else, it is impossible to watch every inch of the beach 24/7.

As i have said before i think it is highly possible that the culprit is not a resident and only visits a few times a year

There is only one person to blame and that is evil one who is doing this .

I wonder if it's worth putting up quite a substantial reward for any information that leads to a successful arrest and conviction? Might entice someone to speak out. Thoughts, anybody?

[Sparky]

According to the UH there was another small protest in the Port earlier this week, the Google translation is really sketchy but the main thing to report is that the Guardia Civil have been keeping a close eye on the beach and are now following up on a strong lead, they are expecting to make an arrest very soon .
