Dear editor,
Sure, Don Davis, dogs can have their own park, but it’s up to their owners to go out and find a suitable place, then ask our town councils to dedicate it and fence it, instead of taking over any green space they happen to like.
Don’t get me wrong. I don’t support a new park because those who run their dogs off-leash are swell people. They’re not.
I support a separate park to get rid of them. When they ignore our laws, they disrespect the community, and might be happier if they were isolated from it.
Creating an off-leash park would be a worthwhile use of my tax money if it resulted in even a few problem dogs being removed from other parks.
A few noisy people think because they pay taxes, their dogs can go wherever they want. They give dog owners a bad name.
People without dogs pay taxes, too, and should be able to walk in a park without being — pardon the expression — hounded.
Doggers can still walk their dogs on a leash in other parks.
