These could be <br />called "good neighbor laws," for they really insist on common courtesy between neighbors. <br />Well-written and strictly-enforced nuisance laws are a boon to a community <br />Dogs and dog owners face more discrimination than ever before in American society. While we pay lip <br />service to the dog as man's best friend, we allow fear and politics and lack of knowledge to determine <br />the parameters of dog ownership. We spend hundreds of millions of dollars on premium foods, <br />veterinary care, toys, kennels, pet sitters, training classes. We use dogs to aid in catching criminals, <br />search for victims of crimes and natural disasters, help handicapped humans, and provide emotional <br />support, which I have provided for many people. <br />This schizophrenic attitude will be cured only when owners live up to their responsibilities to obey <br />nuisance laws, keep their dogs at home, and train their dogs to have good manners at home and abroad. <br />These steps will decrease the number of dog bites, the surrender of dogs to shelters for bad behaviors, <br />the nuisance calls, and the plethora of restrictive laws that are making things worse, not better. I really <br />can not picture not doing what i have grown in love. Breeding my Labradors has taught me and my <br />family allot, and due to the fact that i believe in continuing education, i really hope that as my <br />Representatives and fellow north Olmsted neighbors that u would kindly reconsider altering peoples <br />Lives. <br />With Sincere Regaurds Rebecca Daniels <br />9/21 /2010 <br />4~d[..fi~~c-`?M!?'StFirMMM'+n..,.. ~..,,.,. ...~.~.a.^IVgµ?-O~nN~P HM.fGn,w+v+M"....,t.....:,4MC3f•;.pz.:rtrgn -... <br />
