I'll bet neither dog was muzzled
Do you really want them to enforce this law

As I explained, my post was made on behalf of another village resident.
However, I did take the…Read More time to read the statute and do have an independent viewpoint on this subject. While I do not feel that all dogs require a muzzle at all times, if you have a dog that you know to be a threat to other dogs or humans, you would have a duty to take measures to eliminate that threat before bring that dog into public. If that measure is a muzzle, then that's what must be done.
As my post indicated, I believe strict enforcement would be exceedingly difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary (at least with respect to the muzzle requirement). However, a total lack of enforcement is dangerous and unacceptable. I think a little common sense goes a long way and I have confidence that those charged with enforcing the Village code could do so selectively. I understand that selective enforcement may be a concept that many feel uncomfortable with. However, just because the law requires a muzzle, that is hardly a reason to disregard it in its entirety and allow dogs with vicious propensities to roam around unleashed. I will leave it up to Village lawmakers to remove the muzzle requirement (and suggest that they do so) if that is what it would take to make people comfortable with the leash requirement.

Unfortunately, if the law reads properly muzzled then that's the law. As far as selective…Read More enforcement that doesn't work. The code needs to be clear. I agree, the muzzle requirement should be removed. Consequentially, there is no Gray area within the Village Code Enforcement. I would venture to say people with leashed dogs without a muzzle would get fined.

We should be teaching our daughters to love and respect themselves and pageants do not do that.…Read More Feel like a queen? How about a judge or an architect? As the mother of a disabled daughter, I am appalled by this.
