Amsterdam: Public Sex Fine

…roaming dogs not

http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3748 officials worried about peeing dogs have banned unleashed pooches from one of the city’s most famous parks – while legalising public sex.

Councillors reportedly gave the green light to heterosexual and gay trysts in the Vondelpark, which has a whopping 10 million visitors a year.

But at the same time they pledged to http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3342 on dog owners who dare let their pets roam the park unleashed.

One dog owner told Ananova.com: “As long as the park has existed, we’ve been allowed to let our dogs run freely. It’s outrageous that we will be punished from now on but public sex won’t.”

A spokesman for the council which runs the southern part of Amsterdam added: “When the dogs are not kept on a leash they pee on whatever they see and they cause a lot of nuisance for other visitors.”Public sex will be allowed in the park from September.
