“Good for Aurora for prohibiting the sale of dogs from puppy mills. With the Denver area’s overpopulation of dogs, that is an environmentally sound decision.” — Sue Ellison,…
Celebrating ban on pet salesAs I read the headline announcing that Aurora had banned the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores, I immediately thought of Elijah McClain, who, until his unconscionable violent death, spent time playing violin for shelter animals so that they wouldn’t feel lonely. I was so touched by his tale that I named my own rescue pup after him. Both my beautiful boy and his angelic human namesake would be heartened by this law, designed to further animal adoption.
As an extremely allergic person, it is disgusting and dangerous to have restaurant patrons bringing in sniffing, jumping dogs and claim they are service animals. That is unfair to those who need a service animal trained to perform a particular task. As a member of the 15% of persons with allergies to animals, my places to patronize are becoming increasingly limited. There are no allergy-friendly dogs. Allergens include hair, dander, saliva, urine and feces residue.
Even owning dogs as pets is environmentally harmful, with the amount of meat production that goes into feeding pets. Our land is being saturated with dog urine and dog poop is either left where it lands or a plastic sack is utilized for disposal. It seems many people cannot leave the house without their pet impeding the rights of people with allergies.Based on recent columns, maybe you should rename the “In Brief” column on the left side of page 2 as the “Latest Shootings” column.
On Thursday, Sept. 7, all three stories were about shootings, and most days have at least one or two. I suspect that given there are more guns than people in the United States and that some people think that the Second Amendment means it’s OK to use a gun as a means of self-expression, you won’t have any problem keeping it filled up.Every day I’m struck by how many crimes listed in your “In Brief” column are supposedly committed by someone on an active or outstanding warrant.
