We should have laws that protect animals from humans. We shouldn't be chaining dogs 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year. We also shouldn't be sticking dogs in a cage 24 hours a day 7 days a week 365 days a year... or starving them to death... or beating them...

We should have laws that protect humans from animals... that horse was killed by the dogs... it was so sad... If animal control would have enforced the laws on the books it could have probably been prevented.... but... there have been plenty of children and adults mauled by dogs....

We should have laws that protect humans from humans... lets face it... as soon as we pass barking dog regulations, somebody with a grudge against their neighbor [who happens to own a dog], is going to complain about the barking. On the other hand there are plenty of dog owners who must be deaf and don't hear their dogs barking and barking and barking and barking and barking and barking... well you should get the picture by now...

Any other questions?

You do realize that your county already has an Animal Control Ordinance that covers barking dogs (or nuisance animals). http://www.co.cal.md.us/residents/sa...lordinance.asp

And under Title 10 of the Criminal Code of the State the rest of your concerns are covered.

How did the horse owner get attached to a pack of dogs?

I think you'll see female candidates for St. Mary's, in the upcoming election cycle. Hopefully, they're not like this Calvert whacko. Southern Maryland's challenges are far greater than a dog attacking a horse, and bad pet owners.

I am pretty sure you will find most of us are, in fact, registered to vote.

Are you kidding? If you mess up on this board, you can be sure of many votes against you, Republican or not. If you come across as a sane, viable candidate, many will support you. So far, you are not looking too good.

Nope, not looking good at all. There are far more important issues facing the county, particularly Southern Calvert, then barking dogs. I would venture to say that the vast majority of the formites here are pretty well plugged in and actually get up and vote.

OK... animal control is on the list...

What I had hoped was that the intelligent people on the forums would talk about what is important to them....
