THE two-legged feral beasts of Newport have struck again. I noticed whilet perambulating Belle Vue Park with my pooch when the sun last shone that a fire had been set, attempting but failing to explode an aerosol can beneath a conifer.

Those responsible but irresponsible, owing to muddled and befuddled minds probably riven with drink, drugs or both, might by now have been bothering the burns departments of the NHS.

I have neither time nor sympathy for these trouble-makers, any more than I have for those who spread broken glass in the grass.

It once cost a responsible dog owner £350 for vet bills to treat a badly cut paw caused by glass in the grass. Just imagine what damage could have been done to a child falling on broken bottles.

I am prohibited from saying what I’d like to do with our problematical pariahs.
