You've got to be kidding me...more dog parks?! What a fataing outrage. There shouldn't be any parks that allow dogs to run around leash or no leash. The only park I'd find acceptable for dogs to run around in is one privately owned. I HATE that a single penny of mine goes toward maintenance of these germy, disgusting places. As far as I'm concerned the $25 fee is just a token gesture to appease people like me, but it does nothing to address the problem, IMO.
Your dog should be allowed to urinate and crap in your backyard and nowhere else (and you should be required to clean it up daily so I don't have to smell it when I walk by your house - and don't even get me started on having to listen to your mutt bark). It's absurd we let them crap and piss all over public spaces. For crying out loud if a person pees in a public space they face a fine, meanwhile dogs are doing their business all around the parks at which my kids play.
If I took a dump in my own backyard once a day I bet it wouldn't be long before the cops showed up. I'd probably have to undergo some psychological testing for that and I probably would end up in the nuthouse. How people can't see it's just as nasty when a dog does it is beyond me.
And every dog owner I've ever met says they clean up their dog's crap. Yeah right. I'm sure every dog owner, at least once a year, doesn't pick up their dog's crap. That's thousands of pile of crap right there, nevermind the people that don't pick it up on a regular basis. But know what no dog owner picks up? Pee. Disgusting!
And you don't want to pay for playgrounds because you don't have kids? That's a nonsense arguement. Kids are the future of humanity. Humanity would be just fine without dogs. We need kids and we need them to be healthy, active, socialized, etc. for the future of our species. I think we can throw some tax dollars their way for playgrounds considering they will grow up to be tax-paying citizens that will reimburse us for the use of the playgrounds 1000x over throughout their tax-paying career.
