		<description>E said having pets euthanized is not cruel, but seemed to say it in general.
Fine, Carol is correct. But rather obsessed. Oh well, either let it roll off your back or make a career out of it, one or the other.</description>

		<description>I'm a lot confused here- I went back and read all of E's comments for myself and I don't read anything where it's obvous that E hates animals. 
I didn't read anything even close to that. 
And Carol, 3 rants in a row in the space of 15 minutes. You seem to be getting off on your anger to E. 
Anger is a drug and perhaps you are indulging a bit too much.</description>

		<description>Question for E...what are you doing on a web site for those who care for animals?  You obviously HATE animals....and also do not appear to care for people very much either.

Sorry...but I don't find anything remotely funny about killing dogs and using baseball bats on people.

Please don't try to defend idiotic remarks by claiming "they were just kidding...and we are too sensitive"</description>

Please do not insult those of us who are truly for animal rights by giving E that label.

I share your contempt for this person ignorant rants....but they certainly do not represent any animal rights person I know.

I do not know what E is....but it certainly is nothing that involves care or compassion for animals.

Remarks about beating and killing are NOT funny....they are simply in the worse possible taste. There is far too much violence to humans and animals for some witless politician to try to make such remarks a "joke"</description>

		<description>Dog owners who allow their animals to mess and don't clean it up are thoughtless and rude. The dogs;however are not responsible for the actions of the humans.

So the mayor wants to kill the dogs for the irresponsible actions of the owners...and then beat the owners......beating with a baseball bat is more that a little exteme for this.

As to the remarks of E......????</description>

		<description>KimS:  Right on......

I carry a bunch of extra bags because I always see crap on the grass where I play ball with my dog &#38; also where lots of children play.  It makes me mad as hell to have to pick up after other irresponsible dog owners.....but I'd rather pick it up than one of us step in it.

And allow me to say that I'm sick &#38; tired of my neighbors letting their cats run free as they are always over here crapping in my yard.  I don't let my dog run into their yard &#38; crap over there.  So it isn't just dog owners.  Dogs just make bigger piles but cat crap still has to be picked up.

I think this guy spoke out of anger &#38; we all know when you're angry you say a lot of things you shouldn't.  Ask one who knows (but I'm not a politician &#38; don't speak publicly).</description>

		<description>Obviously the mayor should have chosen better words. He apologized though. If you are in politics you probably shouldn't say certain things out loud. However, some dog owners need to be a lot more courteous. Most dog owners I know are great about cleaning up. 
He was obviously being flip about it and probably not serious. Man, the comments on this subject contain a lot of righteous indignation. 

Nobody is perfect. People say unkind things. Foot in mouth type things.

Nobody deserves to get beat up.

Nobody should kill animals.

And people, try not getting too hysterical about this. It is really not worth all the hate.

		<description>E. Hamilton -- you and the mayor both make me sick.  Shame on you!!

When I had a neighbor that consistently brought his dog to my property to have a good poop right next to the fence in my dog's face, I did not threaten him or his dog.  Instead, I waited for them, then said, "Why do you do that every day?"

He justified it, "WEEEELLLLL, the dog's gotta poop!"

I said, "Well then, do what civilized people do, and clean up after him.  Its not my job and I am tired of it up.  I don't bring my dog to your yard!"

After that, he walked the dog on the other side of the street because he saw me watching.

OKAY?  You can get what you want without being a jerk or an ass.</description>

		<description>E., nobody steps in my dog's poop, because I pick it up. And yes, I'm annoyed when I encounter piles of poop from dogs whose owners DIDN'T pick it up.

I think you and your buddy the mayor need to get over yourselves. A pile of poop is not a death penalty offense. It's an inconvenience. It deserves a fine, not over-the-top rhetoric about killing the dogs and battering the owners with baseball bats.

I do note with interest that you are using the phrase "politically correct" in its now-standard usage: to defend rudeness, indecency, and general offensiveness as "humor" which those objecting to it, object to only on the grounds that they lack "a sense of humor." E., if you want people to laugh at your jokes, try telling some. Truly.

But in the meantime, thank you for confirming that you are not, in fact, a pet lover.</description>

		<description>I think the mayor's remarks are in extremely poor taste - politically correct or not.   Making comments about euthanasia for such minor offenses - generally because of a problem with the owner and not the dog - is unacceptable. Doesn't he have a city to run with bigger problems than that?  It would seem the problem can be rectified without making idiotic statements.</description>

		<description>people who are WAY too sensitive and have no sense of humour need to be beat with baseball bats then euthanized. it's really for the best for the genetic pool if we're to survive as a species.</description>
