Barking dogs problem a symptom of a cultural shift
Excerpt: Some have stated that their hunting dogs barking at all hours are part
of a proud Southern tradition. I'd ask that they remember that shooting
Indians, human slavery, raping the forests and polluting the streams
were also past traditions that have been abandoned and are now illegal,
for good reason. Human development requires that we modify our behavior
as a society and adapt to changing conditions, and that some "traditions" are not worth keeping if the exercise of those acts
infringes upon the rights of others.

Barking dogs could take bite out of Fairview wallets
Excerpt: Under the new rules, township officials will measure the sound as well
as how long the dog barks, how close it is to neighboring homes and
other factors. Dogs disturbing anyone by raising a ruckus for 30 minutes
or longer can be considered a public nuisance.
To which I say: Coming up next! Fairview dogs learn how to tell time!
The Department of Shameless Self-Promotion. Do you think that jail time is a worthy penalty for those who can't control their dogs? Or would exile to a desert island filled with barking dogs be more appropriate? Yes, it's fun to fantasize. And, speaking of fun, you'll find it among the tee shirts and bumper stickers
in my QuietBarkingDogs store.
