13. Dear Representative Edwards,
14. I live in the City of Plantation. In my community, many of the local dog parks aren’t properly regulated and are filled with diseases and other risks, such as the Canine Flu. This can cause serious injury, illness, and could even lead to death for some of the animals in the parks.
15.
16. Sometimes as a community, we can check and make sure every dog that enters the park has all their shots and vaccines. Also, if a dog has been kicked out of a dog park due to aggressive and violent behavior, other dog parks should be alerted and notified. This will ensure that these specific dogs cannot potentially harm other dogs or humans in the parks.
17.
18. Thank you for taking the time to review the health issues within our community. I certainly hope that this problem can soon be rectified. Please let me know if i can assist in any way as i am eager for a nicer, safer, and especially healthier community where my dogs can safely play.
19.
20. Sincerely,
21. Spencer Tobin

    Secondly, the writer mentioned the noise level a dog park would bring to the area. Not only would my argument with this issue coinside with my traffic statement, but most dog parks have listed hours of operations. The noise level should only be of concern during hours most residents are trying to sleep or turn in for the evening. Also, I feel most residents that would love to live near the new dog park, would be fellow dog owners that would enjoy the convenience of having the park so close to home. Most of these people would not be residents that would complain about the sound of…

    Pupy Mill Research Paper

    The term “Puppy Mill” has become interchangeable with a public image of deplorable living conditions for cats and dogs. Puppy and kitten mill owners are more concerned with profits, than the health and welfare of the millions of animals they pump out yearly. With this in mind, the more humane animal adoption centers, such as animal shelters, and rescue organizations are euthanizing millions of animals every year. There is an inherent need to regulate the laws and ordinances on puppy and kitten mills. In the hope that, more people will turn to adopting their four legged friends from the local animals shelters and rescues.…

    Finding adequate housing that will allow certain dogs to live in these establishments can be hard to find. Completing daily tasks like going for a walk or visiting certain parks or places can also be very limited based on what. The opposition stance against BSL believes that “regardless of the fact that it has proven to not only cause harm to responsible pet owners, but also smear the lines between legal and illegal” (worldofangus.org). Pet owners who have been able to have dogs without any problems should not be hindered due to the fact that other dogs that share a breed with their own dogs have caused possible harm in the…

    Every year hundreds of people within various communities are bitten by dogs. Some are bitten by wild dogs, while others are bit by domestic dogs. Each and every dog has the capability to bite a human but it appears that only one breed is being punished for it, pit bulls.

In an outraged tone, the article targets pitbull owners, imposing the ideology that they should take more responsibility of their obligations.…

    Only now have people even considered this issue in Ste. Genevieve, when this should have been thought of the entire time. “A study published in 2010 showed there were 4 times as many dog bite-related visits and 3 times as many hospital stays in rural areas than in urban areas” (Holquist 1). Recently, however, an attack occurred this past summer in Ste. Genevieve, which only now awakened precaution. The town has been having problems with all dog owners, but especially pit bull owners, in regards to keeping them contained. While it is common knowledge that keeping one’s dog contained whether it be on a leash or on the owner's property is the law, many do not abide by this law because they believe that their dog would never harm anyone. While the town considered adopting a sort of BSL law, they decided to keep the laws as they are even though it has been prove to be ineffective. People forget that when dealing with legislation regarding dogs or animals that it is a very sensitive subject and people have immense emotional attachments with their pets. THis makes it more difficult for these laws to be…
