The Welsh Government has been advised to introduce dog-free zones in parks after an anti-racism group claimed it made black Africans feel unsafe.
BAME environmental group Climate Cymru has released a report telling the government to
as part of an "anti-racism" drive to create "dog-free zones in local green spaces" to make the country more "inclusive".
The advice was backed up by another group, the African Society of North Wales, which complained during a focus group meeting that "a black African woman claimed she did not feel safe because of the presence of the dogs". - wrote the V4NA .
A third group, Green Soul, also criticized the people of Wales because the farmers are "mostly white/British/Welsh" and "older white people" and they run the agricultural companies. The criticism is incomprehensible if only because 90 percent of the population of Wales is white British, reminds the Modernity news portal.
"Ultimately, the Welsh Government's report, which will guide future policy, concludes that 'people from ethnic minority backgrounds in Wales face barriers created by exclusion and racism,'" reads the Telegraph report.
If you give me the choice between 'dog free zones' and 'people who have a problem with dogs, free zones' - I will choose freedom for dogs every time. pic.twitter.com/p0TsTWS8kg
