we want to promote responsible pet ownership , southampton City council , have wardens who walk about the estates of southampton , and generally turn a blind eye to tenants with dogs , also leaseholders who have dogs , however there a times when , it has been brought by vindictive or jealous , lease holders or tenants , it's reported to council , the only reason given for not being allowed to keep a dog , is because they have shared entrance , this is discriminatory policy against responsible pet owners , the council allows people to keep a dog in flats which don't have a shared entrance , dogs are companions and members of people's family ,also this breaches the European convention on human rights , which allows the right to enjoy possessions , also the right to a private life ,as pointed out by the council ombudsmen , in Bristol council , and was unfair , please change the rules and allow dogs , kept by responsible owners and registered with council , microchipped , etc etc , as Edinburgh council has done as well ,
