We have discovered a sad situation on our block. We have a person walking
their Pit Bull and allowing her to chew on all of the trees in the block.
When a neighbor asked him why he allowed this he said he couldn't stop her.

Perhaps there is an opportunity here to institute a muzzle law, like a
restraining order, where animals that have proven destructive to property
would be required to be muzzled to prevent such destruction when out in
public.

This actually was buggen me before Christmas but I was filled with good
cheer and did not want to be a grinch...Any dog owner that can not stop
their dog from chewing a tree should not have a dog! What if that tree
becomes a child! The dog needs to be muzzled and the owner needs to be
reported as a person NOT in control of their animal. There is a muzzle
law...
I have run my dogs out at the MAC airport since the eighties...long before
it became a "dog park". In the past 4/5 years.. *dog owners*...pick up the
doggie do and tie the bag to the trees, tie it to the fence, toss the bag
under bushes, leave it on the car so it conveniently falls off when they
drive down 28th Ave, toss it out the window before they get to the freeway,
blatanly leave it in MAC's parking lot or just leave it along 28th Ave.
There is a garbage receptacle 3 blocks up at Bossen Field but these owners
seem to have a particpatory problem.
We used to have a typed letter posted requesting that owners be responsible,
but let one bag be tossed and it became a pile. MAC has now posted huge
signs...which helped for about a month and then some of the usual went back
to their old habits. Leashing, training, picking up fecal matter is all part
of having a dog...like it or not...this is not a dog problem...we are
talking about *stupid* people here. Feel the luv...!
