The Welsh government has a plan to eradicate racism in Wales by the year 2030 (yes, that year again). As part of formulating their master plan, the government paid a group called Climate Cymru BAME (Black and Minority Ethnic) to conduct a study and report back. The report ends with a series of recommendations, one of which is the creation of 'dog-free areas in local green spaces'. However, the report does not provide a solitary clue as to how restrictions on dog walkers will contribute to 'ending racism'.
The Independent reported that the possible source of the recommendation is another report, this time from a group called the North Wales Africa Society. However, the canine issue is attributed to one single contributor - a black female who said she 'felt unsafe in the presence of dogs'. So are the Welsh government going to take on board this recommendation and create an apartheid system that discriminates against dog walkers, based on the concerns of one solitary black female?
It really wouldn't surprise us.
