The other day my kids and I went to my wife’s grave. We went there to clean and plant new flowers and put a little fence up. Low and behold, by her stone was a pile of dog waste.
What happened to picking up your dog’s waste? That is your responsibility. Nobody else’s! If you are going to walk your dog in the cemetery, show respect for deceased. I’m sure you wouldn’t want me to show disrespect to your loved ones or anyone else.
Not all people do that. Most of your dog owners pick up their dog’s waste, it’s just a few.
If I was in charge or had my way, the first offense would be a $200 fine, the second offense a $500 fine, and the third offense a $1,000 fine. Not a slap on the wrist.
This country is too lenient. A lot of people have to learn the hard way. So be it!
