Il 46-enne Ian Bradwell, cieco da 30, si è beccato una multa di 80 paundi da uno zelante guardiano comunale perché il suo cane-guida Iona aveva sporcato in un parco di Leicester. E' dovuto intervenire protestando l'ente benefico dei cani guida per convincere la municipalità a togliergli la multa, dalla quale i non-vedenti sono legalmente esentati per ovvie ragioni.
MI VIENE UN'IDEA: in Italia, dove tanti se ne fottono, fingendo di non vederle, di pulire le cacche dei loro cani da parchi e marciapiedi, potrebbero e dovrebbero essere accecati per legge, così evitano (improbabili) multe, oppure imparano a comportarsi civilmente
Guide dog owner fined £80 for animal mess he couldn't see in Leicester park. A guide dog owner was given an on-the-spot fine when his animal fouled in a city park – even though he explained he could not see what had happened. Ian Bradwell, who is registered blind, was handed the £80 fixed penalty by a city warden while he was walking his Labrador-retriever cross, Iona, in Braunstone Park on Thursday [...] Mr Bradwell has been visually impaired since he was 17 and was registered blind some years later. He can see nothing out of his right eye and only enough out of his left eye to be able to tell whether it is day or night. Registered blind owners of guide dogs are exempt from paying anti-fouling fines. Mr Bradwell said a worker from charity Guide Dogs contacted the council to explain this [...] Tony Murray, of Guide Dogs, said: "Guide Dogs has been working closely with Leicester City Council to resolve the situation and was pleased to hear yesterday morning that the fine has been waived". This is Leicester
