      Here’s my question: who does that? They’re delivering mail free of charge and you just set your dogs on them? What kind of asshole does that?

      Set up a system so those people have to venture to a post office to collect their post. Pretty simple solution

      OR WHAT? YOU’LL RELEASE THE DOGS OR THE BEES

      OR THE DOGS WITH BEES IN THEIR MOUTH

      AND WHEN THEY BARK, THEY SHOOT BEES AT YOU?

      We live in rural Galway. We rescue and foster a lot of animals, including „testing“ dogs for the pound. I run my dogs at 6am and 10pm – specifically to avoid people. We also use muzzles when out in public.

      Why am I saying this? To give context about how cautious we are about our dogs. Because our postman keeps OPENING OUR FRONT DOOR TO PUT PACKAGES IN. We currently have 5 dogs. There’s a reason those 5 dogs aren’t out running loose in the garden.

      I’ve left notes stuck to the front door, I’ve emailed the post office, I’ve said it to him face to face „please leave post in the post box or in my car if it’s a very big package, for your own safety“. And does he listen? Does he fuck. 

    5. Leve them a onetime note saying your post will be ready for collection at the depot and you will not be notified when new post arrives.

      If they didn’t involve themselves with the TV license business this wouldn’t happen 

    7. Can I assume the people who deliberately set dogs on people spend the night in a cell? Or would that make too much sense….

      I lasted one day as a Postman with An Post. I arrived bright and early down in the sorting office, someone hands me a letter and I thought to myself..

      This isn’t for me..

      A neighbour of ours use to leave a dog in the front garden post man came along saw the dog and threw the post into the yard and dog shredded it into pieces. Dog wasn’t left out anymore.

      What the fuck is wrong with people? Anyone doing this absolutely shouldn’t have a dog. Our dog would and has gone after the postman but we quickly stopped that and always keep him away from anyone making a delivery. We love our dog and we want our post. It’s not that hard.

      My brothers dog hates the postman ever since he hit her with his van. She loved the previous guy, and is fine with all other delivery vans, but needs to be locked inside whenever the an post van is in the area. Dogs must have surprisingly long memories, she got hit by the van around a year ago.

      Reading the article it would appear the cases where the dog was set in someone deliberately were mostly to do with the TV licence inspectors rather than deliveries.

      Can postal workers get some kind of body cam, or even record it on their phone? This should be an automatic criminal conviction, and your dog put down or taken to care. They are pets, not weapons.

      Judge – “well what do you have to say for yourself? “

      Mr.Scrotus – “I didn’t get the summons because my dog kept biting the postman”

      Judge – “the summons for failure to control a dog?”

      Just do away with licence inspectors and the licence fee. Problem solved.

      Would these households happen to be people who are either dodging bills or see themselves as citizens of the land?

      There are people who believe that they cannot be made pay for things or attend court if they don’t get the letters.

    17. General-indifferance on

      Just don’t deliver to those house’s,if that have to come collect it they will soon chamge their tune,personally I would say fuck em and just dump any post of theirs when It reaches the post office

    18. AnyDamnThingWillDo on

      My postman never saw my dog. She would bark from behind the front door. He refused to deliver. I called the GPO to ask what the problem was and was told by a snotty staff member that I can collect from the post office myself. This was before they even got asked the full question.

    19. This is horrific. My dog is a big scaredy cat but has a big bark and I alwags make sure he’s in another room with the door closed if I have to answer the door to any delivery driver. The thoughts people would set their dog on someone is appalling.

      Our postman (in the states) keeps treats for the good dogs and pepper spray for the bad ones on him 😂

      > Pretty simple

      Have you ever heard of this things called “objections”, or its angry cousin “the law”?

    22. Accomplished-Sky8768 on

      Our dog opens the door himself, the postman thought we were letting him out to chase him, we talked to him one day and explained, dog also came to say hi (I know all dogs can be dangerous and have the potential to be, ours always wanted to say hi and did when he got the chance). Now he brings treats for him and says hi

      >“We do have incidents where certain householders might set a dog upon a colleague,” he said. “That’s not normally the postman – it can be a TV licence inspector – but those situations do arise.”

      The fucking state of headlines these days like. It’s waaaaaayyyyy down the end of the article before you get to the „some householders are setting dogs on postal workers“ bit and it turns out it’s a unquantified minority and it’s not the postman…

      Take off your yellow vests during the daytime. Most dogs see it as a threat.
