Would you still visit the markets if you were not allowed to bring your dog?
1. Miklos Korda has been visiting the Eumundi Markets every Wednesday for many years with his dog Bessie.
Mr Korda says he thinks dogs, and domestic animals, have a place in the markets.
“No I would not visit the markets without Bessie. I think dogs are okay in the markets, but I do think animals should be totally banned from food areas,” he said.
“It should be the case that all markets are dog friendly – or at least left up to the owners or market operators.”
2. Nicki Jutbauge lives in Eumundi and visits the markets regularly with her adorable dog Fred.
“I’d still come to the markets if I couldn’t come with a dog,” she said.
“But I do love bringing Fred to the markets, he gets to socialise. In the end it should come down to the owner providing control of the dog and training.”
3. Eumundi stallholder Pam Fisher has been operating Pam Fisher Pet Gear for 20 years.
“A lot of people shop for pet products at markets and it’s important they are able to bring their pets,” she said.
“I think it has to come down to the owners, who need to ensure their animal is trained and able to be controlled.”
