Can't wait to see @Skyhook with his gamut of big dogs crossing lines at Admiralty at 6:00PM
I have a single dog, an Alsatian that we raised from a puppy, tattooed with his kennel club registration number... He now lives here in Queensland VERY relaxed and happily, as do our two HK born, British short hair cats.
To be a bit blunt, it is illegal to take pets on trains here, assistance and police dogs the only exception, but that's it. No practical reason to do it, when we have so much available space, plus we drive our dog right up to the beach ( 20 minutes away ) in the back of our wagon. My dog is so much happy over here, he's just so relaxed, quite a big contrast compared to HK, having to occupy the same public space with ' other ' dog owners on the weekend and their undisciplined dogs. My dog is pretty bomb proof temperament wise, but HK is a very tiring geography, thanks to not having much personal space, in public areas, and Hong Kongers behave over the top in fear when they see a BIG dog, which emits a pheromone that puts the dog on edge, not to mention 'some' dimwitted dog owners who see their dog as a lifestyle accessory, dont discipline or have not much of a clue how to handle them properly.
there is absolutely no way I'd take my dog anywhere near a crowd like what you displayed in your post, when we lived there.. that's just asking for trouble...a public train carriage full of weekend warrior dog owners on a Hong Kong train, what could possibly go wrong!!!!
Just NO !!!
Are you going to stay obsessively hung up on this one topic every time you post on this forum?
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. I believe there should be significant barriers to dog ownership in HK as most residences are too small for dogs- dog ownership should not be encouraged here.
Anyway, this whole thread is based on a ridiculously flawed 'survey'.
Your usual personal attacks do not work with me. Actually, I rarely come on this site but did stumble across the comment “If this was UK, I would vote yes. This is hk so I vote no. HK people are not responsible enough to manage animals on a train.” I noticed that East-coast did not say anything about "The opinion referenced race" (as he did to me). Yes. I have a very good memory.
I shall always stand up against what I consider to be even mild forms of hate speech. I am keeping this short as I agreed with your assessment of me as being verbose.
I think my first reply was taken down. My answer to your question: Are you going to stay obsessively hung up on this one topic every time you post on this forum? is YES if I see certain comments. Anyway, I do not think it is good to take animals on the MTR to get back onto the topic.
