Hi:
I urge all of you to read a story in today’s NY Times: White Woman Calls Police on Black Bird Watcher in
Central Park. The video of the incident went viral with over 20 million hits so far. Please also read Some of
the readers comments. Like this one: “ H
Pocomoke City, MD16m ago
Beware dog owners. They will do incredible things to validate their irresponsibility in controlling their dogs,
be it continuous barking, or not following any leash laws. I have been bitten by the dog that is "friendly".
They laugh when you are scared of a attacking dog. They will make all kinds of claims to make anyone
questioning them the aggressor. I have seen it too many times.” Another comment was about a person
who was bitten, was taken to the hospital and had to go through a whole year of rehab.
I would say more than 1/2 of dog owners in Bozeman walk their dogs off-leash where it’s not allowed. But it
seems this is a problem all over the country. One theme of the comments in The NY Times article are - rules
apply to everyone else but they don’t apply to me attitude. And also many dog owners just feel super
entitled.
I don’t know what the city can do but just hope you guys understand off-leash dogs are a big problem in
Bozeman. It seems everyone just ignores the signs and the regulations.Off-lease dogs are literally all over
our town.
Thank you for listening.
