What more do you want airfield ops to do when there is a stray whippet on the runway? Whip out the bazooka from the back of the 4x4 and blow the thing to bits?
Or of course, we could just open the runway and allow a nice shiney jet to ingest the dog causing, so you can then blame the airport for allowing the aircraft to land with a known hazard on the runway, and also probably moan about the amount of time it took to clean the runway afterwards?
We don't live in a perfect world with unlimited resources and money. **** happens and it's one of those unfortunate events that takes time to deal with, learn to live with it
I am more concerned why it took so bloody long to catch the thing.
How would you have caught it then? I assume you have experience in chasing Whippets across acres of runway and dealing with them within 10 minutes to prevent disruption.
I look forward to hearing your response
