One of my favourite blogs - the Dark Age Blog - is by a Canadian farmer.<BR/><BR/>hope your dogs are okay. i think because dogs are so quick and ferocious when they want to be, burglars will just avoid dog-guarded properties. i've seen a playfully charging dobermann, and wouldn't feel confident of my chances against the real thing, even with a weapon. i guess poison is the thing to worry about - i think it is possible to train dogs not to accept food except from your hand?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-36124432183591335182007-08-01T22:56:00.000+01:002007-08-01T22:56:00.000+01:00Mopsa, I am of the school of thought that if I liv...Mopsa, I am of the school of thought that if I lived on a farm I would follow the Tony Martin route <BR/><BR/>After all, they shouldn't be there ...Mutterings and Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384198819878227966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6434191994110070734.post-86831614600214084912007-07-31T21:28:00.000+01:002007-07-31T21:28:00.000+01:00Hear hear FP.

I don't know what crime it prevents but it didn't prevent a teenage girl going missing in 2005, it didn't prevent the police taking two years to charge someone with her murder and it didn't prevent her body remaining undiscovered to this day. It doesn't prevent the more day to day argy bargy either, which simply moves out of view of the cameras. CCTV is utterly useless in preventing crime, largely useless in solving it unless the perpetrator didn't notice he was in view of it, and really seems to serve only to produce clips to sell to 'police camera action' type TV showsArthur Clewleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09899298157515419564noreply@blogger.com
