Dog attacked! Norderney in the dispute over dog order on the beach

Norderney, Deutschland - On Norderney, an incident causes a lot of conversation and heated discussions. A father reported in a Facebook forum that his son was jumped on the beach by a dog that was on a towline. Although the animal had more freedom, the father demands strong consequences for dog owners who do not have their animals under control. More and more forum members are supporting this demand and demanding tougher punishments for uncontrolled dogs. But not everyone agrees: some argue that the dog only played and criticize the father for his supposed negligence. This debate about the control of dogs is anything but new to Norderney, such as [moin.de] (https://www.moin.de/norddeutschland/norderney-nordsee-milchbar-strand-hunde-inssel-wuetende- ID300678685.html) reports.

Opinions on this topic differ widely. While many residents and vacationers want more freedom for dog owners, others rely on stricter rules to ensure the safety of children and relaxation seekers. On Norderney there is a leash obligation for dogs to protect both residents and wild animals. Dogs can only run without a leash in certain designated areas. There are also both defined dog beaches and a central dog meadow, where running without a leash is permitted. A special color system helps:

The color system for leash obligation

• Magenta: leash in the national park is mandatory.
• yellow: leash obligation during the breeding season (April 01 to July 15).
• orange: all year round linen obligation in certain areas.
• red: dogs are not allowed in some beach areas.
• blue: No leash obligation, responsibility remains with the owner.

The new rules have recently caused a trace of confusion on the Internet, as reported by the

But the fines should not be forgotten when it comes to compliance with the leash obligation. There is usually a linen constraint on places with high public transport and in public transport. Those who do not adhere to the regulations must expect punishments that can vary depending on the state. In Lower Saxony, unsuspecting dog owners can get fines of up to 5,000 euros, which, like leinenwands.com, can be painful. In principle, particularly dangerous dogs must be led on a leash.
