Racist dogs whatever next.
Labour told to ban dogs from parts of UK to rid country of racism
Conservatives called the proposals "completely out of touch" and said Labour is "stuck on yesterday's thinking".
Labour has been urged to create dog-free zones in certain areas of Wales as part of anti-racist measures.
The suggestion was made in a report to the Welsh government, aimed at making “all areas” of public life more inclusive and eliminating racism by 2030. It has since been slammed by the Welsh Conservatives as "outdated virtue signalling nonsense."
The report, put together by Climate Cymru BAME, suggested setting up “dog-free areas in local green spaces” as a way to help achieve these goals.
The proposal is part of a broader set of recommendations but does not clarify how dog-free zones would help address racism.
The Welsh Conservatives said it fails to address the real needs of Welsh communities, The Telegraph reports.
Andrew RT Davies, the leader of the Welsh Conservatives, called the proposals “completely out of touch” and said Labour is “stuck on yesterday’s thinking”.
He said: “This kind of outdated virtue signalling nonsense is completely out of touch with the needs of the people of Wales.
“Labour is stuck on yesterday's thinking, the kind that is being roundly rejected globally. Time to turf them out.”
In addition to Climate Cymru BAME, the North Wales Africa Society also called for dog-free areas, claiming that some ethnic minority residents feel uneasy around dogs.
During focus group sessions, one Black African woman reportedly expressed feeling unsafe in areas with dogs.
