" citizenry who are scent up by this are the entitled kind of parents . "

You know the saying “a picture is worth a thousand words”? Well, in this case a picture has generated a thousand words. Recently, X user@hifromkyleposted this picture which caused quite a bit of controversy:

Yep, it’s a sign outside of The Lower Red Lion pub in St. Albans encouraging guests to bring along their dogs, and well, leave their children at home. It’s not uncommon that discourse on social media revolves around dogs being allowed in public places, but the concept of being “child-free” while welcoming dogs has raised quite a few eyebrows…

Some users are question why there seems to be a battle of " dogs vs. kid " in public distance .

take a shit like this makes me feel so insane like why are we ban parent ( woman in particular ) from public space ! ! ! your dog does n’t want to go to a pub or restaurant!!!https://t.co / Xz1Dnns5YU

i will take a child over a literal brute in a food ecesis any day any hour any minutehttps://t.co/h2CczcJi5A

A Twitter repost from The Lower Red Lion shows a user sharing a photo captioned "Found my new local" featuring a street view with a car and buildings

I try not be the kind of guy who speaks in ruinous terms about cultural shift bit I find we ( middle course well educated millenial taste Divine ) are failing a monumental societal test of some kindhttps://t.co/Aunuj69eoK

The affair about this to me is n’t just having a place without children ( we already have those ) , it ’s the assertion that dogs are more welcome than the most vulnerable family of man , who 97 % of the sentence are out with women.https://t.co/idCDhW0rea

masses that bitch about how much they hate kids but ' love dogs ' are in reality the worst people you will ever meethttps://t.co/p0I49iOyne

The path some of you detest children with a cacoethes is very much not normal , and I ’ll digest by that!https://t.co / mKCtWwXR0v

we need to banish pets from home where food is sold and i do n’t care who disagrees with mehttps://t.co/PosXjnFCc2

it ’s better to dine around children than dogshttps://t.co/fviyoyFpeh

There are other users who argue that “child-free” spaces are perfectly acceptable:

parents when childless people make their own shoes and region to socialise in ( there s 500000000 other area they can go to that allow their obnoxious children in)https://t.co / PqrVPQQTSgpic.twitter.com/63jFnu5Y17

people that are wind up up by this are the entitled kind of parent no one can be arsed with.act like they ’re the first the great unwashed to have kids , demand more from multitude in serve without gratitude & go away space an absolute DoS while disrupting everyone round them with noisy ipadshttps://t.co/gM82gmt9UW

I go to A WINE degustation lately and someone brought their bambino who was reserve to turn tail around cry out , bonk affair , causing oecumenical kerfuffle . Kid - free areas should exist.https://t.co/GTzhYujDME

And then there’s those that can’t believe how much discourse this single picture has caused…

Crazy affair about this useless discourse … is the fact that there are plenty pubs out there small fry loose AND animal destitute . So why in the Earths fertile ass , is evryone shouting and creak about “ ohhh but i detest dogs ” and “ ohh this seems misogynistic ” electroshock ectGo find another saloon 🤷 🏾‍ ♀ ️https://t.co / shhWcs4uwrpic.twitter.com / KAQl80ZpXa
